Every year we go to the amusement park close to Farmor and Farfar's house (Andreas' parents). It is traditonal for many families this time of year to go. The park wraps many of it trees in thousands of lights and makes the whole place beautiful. They have special kiosks where people sell gifts and special foods and of course we must get a waffle with jelly and cream on it. Some of the kids rides are open, but it is too cold for the adult rollercoasters to be open. Samuel loves this place. We went with Farmor and Farfar and had a wonderful time. We all rode on one of the kids rides with him and watched his excitement as he saw the next wonderful thing. He even had a woman stop him and give him a stuffed car from one of the games. It is so wonderful to see his excitement. I hope next year we can add a sister into the mix and have two children having a wonderful time.

I pray that all of you are having a blessed season of rememberance and tradition. Take a moment to stop and think about why we have Christmas and the fact that the Biblical story really did happen. It's not a myth, but reality. Oh, to be a sheperd when the angles filled the sky and sang of Christ's birth, to go and actually bow before this baby... may we all know the reality of Christ as a baby and as our Savior. Merry Christmas.

Blessings,

Laurie
