Christmas Cookies!

We don't know where this look came from, but it's really not like Willow. Anyway, it's pretty comical because it appears that she's giving Poppy the sinister eye, but actually they were getting along and really enjoying baking Christmas cookies with their big sister, Annie. There's nothing like the good ole traditions of the Holidays; the smell of fresh baked sugar cookies, the aroma of the pine from the Christmas tree, candles aglow in every room, a little fire, wrapping paper strewn across the table, Holiday tunes over the stereo system,... the usual stuff that most families are familiar with. Of course, Willow is completely unfamiliar with any of it, but it's not taking her long to get into the spirit. What isn't there for a kid to like about Christmas, regardless of what country you're from?

Austin comes home in a couple of days and then we'll have everyone around the house again. We treasure each Christmas not really knowing what the following year might bring. This one's sure to be filled with fond affections and love.

Warmly in Christ,

Tom (& Victoria)
