Merry Christmas to each of you. We are spending this wonderful holiday here in A
nn Arbor, Michigan. Today is is raining and very close to freezing, so we hope it stays warm enough that we do not have slick streets. The boys got up, had a bite of date cake, and then excitedly began by opening presents from Santa, including stockings. The hit gift for the boys was to get ju
icy oranges and real nuts to eat. The adults enjoyed all the excitement and drank cups of strong coffee.
Later we moved on to opening presents from family and friends stacked under the tree. It was a blizzard of paper and excitement. All of a sudden it was over and time for a late breakfast of scrambled eggs, ha
m, coffee or juice, and date cake. Now comes the fun time of trying to play with all of the presents. We still have our story of Jotham's Journey to finish. We have enjoyed hearing each chapter read each evening before bedtime.
The Christma
s Eve celebration at St. Andrew's Episcopal Church was beautiful! For the 40th year in a row, children put on dramatization of Mary and Joseph and the birth of baby Jesus. They even had a brass quartet playing along with the organ. One of Kim and Chuck's friends David played
the trombone in the quartet. Later after the service David and his family joined us for a Christmas Eve dinner. It was a lovely dinner of scalloped potatoes, ham, green beans, and fruit salad. They left early as David had to play at the 10:30 service as well. Finally, the kids were tucked into bed and visions of Santa and sugar plums danced in their heads. Happy travels.
