“For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, which is Christ the Lord.”
Merry Christmas to you all! We were happy to have our first Christmas with Lily Ruth. She and I enjoyed the children’s program at church on Christmas Eve. We even got to sit with Daddy!

After church on Christmas morning we put our Christmas pajamas back on and stayed in them all day!
My niece Sara wrote a special poem for us. I thought I would share it with you all. (Hope you don’t mind Boo Boo!)
Winter is coming and it is just now here.
We are cuddling up and I wish you were near!
We are cuddling up and I wish you were near!
We are putting on big jackets and going out to slide.
You are putting on sweaters and going out side.
We are boiling the water and making hot soup.
You’re cooking some food and Phil’s shooting a hoop.
You’re going sledding down the park hills.
We are cold and still have the chills.
We have to cover our plants to make them not freeze.
You’re looking through your cabinets for choices of teas.
I wish we could come up for Christmas you see.
Someday we will have presents under your tree!
Don’t be alarmed, that’s not a real puppy. Good thing too, it was in a box for a very long time.
For supper Phil donned his “grilling wear” and braved the outdoors to cook the biggest steak either of us have ever seen. It was great!>Christmas photo shoot.

It’s getting harder to take good pictures of Lily. She’s getting too busy to be bothered with sitting still, not falling over and smiling at the right second. Where’d that floppy baby that hardly moved go? Dare I try a family photo? What would that be like with Lily AND Phil?Here’s the best I managed. Next year we’re going to Sears!

Well, we did it again. We located this year’s tree just North of town in a ditch. The road was busy yesterday but only one passerby slowed to see just what we were up to. This one’s a lot bigger than last year and a little less brown. Phil was proud very proud of it.
He even helped with the lights! Yes, we’re risking lights this year.
Lily was confused the whole time. She did start to look at the tree with a little more acceptance today.
All done except for the topper. No topper yet. Hopefully I can get one soon. Maybe that’s why Lily’s still a bit wary of this intruder.
