Hello everybody, and good morning to all of you. Today, Elise and I plus our three daughters are having a small party to celebrate the Christmas holiday with around 20 of our great friends. We are cooking some ham, tomato soup, and shrimp bisque. Several of our friends are also bringing some appetizers and Ken is bringing punch.

Our oldest daughter Aden is home for Christmas until January 15^th, and then she drives back to Gonzaga University in Spokane, Washington. Our second oldest daughter Causey goes to the University of Washington in Seattle, and she will be home for the next two weeks. And Ella our youngest daughter still lives at home. We are planning to all go down to the University Village to see Santa Clause and take a photo of our whole family with Santa.

I would love to hear from you about what you are looking forward to for Christmas this year.
