While in PA, Josh and I were able to enjoy his and the kids’ Christmas present to me: a night at a Lancaster Bed & Breakfast. The snowy weather added a perfect touch for our stay at the Lovelace Manor. It was a great way to review the past year, plan for the year ahead, get some extra rest, and enjoy extra time together.

Becca and Isaiah enjoyed staying with my parents during our night away. Becca did some extra baking and had a tent sleep-over with Aunt Emily by the Christmas. (A few nights later Becca and I had a tent sleep-over by the Christmas tree. She was so excited she could have stayed up all night talking.)

We enjoyed the snow in PA. The kids enjoyed playing in the snow. Becca and I found a large puddle to ice skate on. A big highlight was eating snow for breakfast!

One special thing Becca enjoyed playing with at my parents’ home is my African dolls.

We spent about three weeks in PA. We had three Sunday services and one Wednesday evening service in the area (PA & NY), so we used my parents’ home as a base to travel from. We’re very thankful we didn’t have to make the extra trips to SC between the weekend services.
