The biggest thing we are missing this Christmas in Texas is our family and friends back in the Northern US and Western Canada. As you can see from the photos we are still having fun.

Sometimes the best part of the Christmas the opportunity to read a good book over the Christmas break.

God takes care of the transplanted Canadians and sent us 5 inches of snow on Thursday morning and it stayed till this evening. Levi and Caleb made use of the cold and we have a snowball and sheet of ice in our freezer. We even had use and need for hot chocolate yesteday. Today they tried skating in the parking lot and they snowball bombed their Christmas Dinner guest from the balcony, although he had spotted them before his mom dropped him off.  Our church canceled it’s Christmas Eve service due to the snow, and it’s a good thing…we wouldn’t have wanted to share a road with anyone yesterday.

We hope you had a meaningful Christmas. I was dreading it, but it became a time of quietness and joy and, yup, not too bad food either
