We enjoyed getting to see the Lebanon Christmas Horse Parade with the Dickinson's and Pilmores. It was a FREEZING COLD day, so thus the reason for the heavy coats and Rudolph-like noses! It reminded us a lot of our days in Russia because of the extreme cold temperature.

Natasha enjoyed being a part of God's Bible School Christmas Musical.

For those of you who may wonder why all of the changes in the blog, I will fill you in on the details. I know this may be a shock because all of my deep intellectual insights have been and will be lacking in comparison to the light, frilly things that may take place in the future. I do hereby bequeath the insightful privilege of managing this blog to the rest of my family. Someday, I will reclaim my distinguished position as supreme commander of this blog and officially boot out my willing and subordinate subjects. Huh?
