Merry Christmas

Well, we are about to celebrate our second Christmas with the girls, and we can't believe how time has flown. Both girls are so excited about Christmas. Sasha is singing today at a rehab center with her school. She was practicing her songs in the car on the way to school this morning. Next week is her school concert. We are excited to hear her sing. Both girls love to sing (they must have gotten that from their Papa) . We learned last year that lots of presents don't necessarily make the girls happy at Christmas, so we will again try to minimize the gifts and focus on Christ this season. All that said, we did finally get lights on the house yesterday, and are trying to bake some cookies as we establish some family traditions. It seems so easy to get caught up in the hustle and bustle of the Holiday season without giving much thought to why we celebrate. So, will you take a moment today and ponder The Creator coming to live with us in order to die, but coming not as a king, but as a baby, helpless and fragile. Perfect.

Merry Christmas
