Hello All!! How are you and your families? We are doing well here. Very ready for Christmas!! We have put up our tree and decorated the house:) LOVE this time of year!!

My semester is finished and I have a nice little break. Very excited about that.

We just got 4 new hens and a rooster. All the chickens seem to be getting along. Duke (our dog) is loving them too. He runs around the coupe, pouncing....and puts his mouth on the coupe and lets them peck his mouth...LOL. He's a hoot!!

He too just got a new dog house. It's awesome. Someone gave it to us. It was built for a Great Dane, so it's really big. My boys can stand up inside of it! It will keep him nice and warm when he has to be outside while we're gone.

I hope you all have a very wonderful, Merry Christmas. I hope you stay warm, cherish the moments with your family, make lots of lovely traditions, and most of all remember why we celebrate Christmas. The Amazing birth of Christ. The most wonderful gift of all...along with His wonderful gift of Salvation.

Luke 2:9-14

~~~And, lo, an angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them; and they were sore afraid. And the angel said unto them, "Fear not; for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord. And this shall bea sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger." And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying, "Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men."

What a wonderful story....a wonderfully, true story!! We get to be with God one day! I am so thankful for His gifts!! May God Bless you all....Merry Christmas!!
