Christmas is almost here!

Christmas is around the bend! Steven and Samuel are so excited. They wonder how Santa will bring presents into our home since we don't have a chimney. We have enjoyed the Christmas concerts and musicals including the Virginia Christmas Spectacular. As you remember, last year we spent the Christmas season in China. So this is really the first memorable holiday for the two boys. Tonight I took the boys shopping to find a present for mom. I wonder how long they can keep their present a secret?

Alicia and Lorelai is planning to visit our home this Christmas season. Again, this will be the first time she has been with us at Christmastime since 2007. There will be a lot of delicious food to prepare for the holidays. One tradition we enjoy is cooking caramels and banana bread. Fudge is also a wonderful treat during this time of year.

Please pray for Steven. He has a small tumor on his cheek that needs tending. Tomorrow he has a CT scan followed by a doctor visit to discuss the options. On the surface it seems like a simple procedure. However, there are many facial nerves and muscles to contend with. Thankfully it doesn't seem to bother him.

I pray you continue to experience the blessing of the Christ of Christmas!
