Christmas



My favoite memories from this Christmas:

- Sitting at night by the fire, snuggled up in a blanket by mom and dad's tree, drinking "White Christmas" tea

- Reading the Christmas Story in Luke with Candy while snuggled on my couch by my Christmas tree, watching the snow fall and the candles flicker

- Baking gingerbread cookies and raspberry torte with Kimberly, Candy and Sara

- Playing Buzz Word with everyone on Christmas Eve

- "You didn't make it, the oven did." (It's a funny story, really)

- Remembering that Christmas has nothing to do with us, but has everything to do with a God who loved us so much that He was willing to give His Son, so He could spend eternity with us

- "My" two orphans and the reminder that we have so much to be thankful for
