Finding the Christmas Spirit
in a 31' Airstream is
a little like playing twister
with 3 other people
in a closet with a puppy.
At first glimmer it appears to be chaos.
In truth, it is tons of fun.

The Christmas holiday was a wonderful time for family. Stephen, Rachel, Nate, and I decorated a little rosemary Christmas tree complete with lights. We cuddled and read the Bible most nights for our Advent tradition.
The kids sang carols correctly and with funny variations. Then we were greatly blessed despite a touch of the tummy bug. Because, I was thrilled to see everyone. My parents, Mack and Leota, drove down on the 23rd and stayed into Christmas Day. They stayed at the Hilton Garden Inn where there was a wonderful breakfast available.

The older girls arrived just in time to spend a few minutes with my parents before they needed to hit the road. Rebekah, on leave from the Navy, hadn't seen them in a long while. The whole bunch of us gathered together at our trailer and in the nearby Candlewood Suites.

| It was a good day of family time and Wii. |

My in-laws, Carl and Cathy, arrived on Sunday when Stephen was at work. We enjoyed Stephen's second day off on Monday and the kids ate all of Nanaw's homemade candy and pumpkin pie.

I miss everyone being nearby but I love our life on the road.
