This past Sunday morning we had Clayton baptized. It was such a meaningful time of welcoming our child into the covenant family. We are grateful to the Lord for saving us from our sins and giving us eternal life. We pray that Clayton will come to understand this at a young age and ask Christ to live in his life. We were blessed to have both of our parents and my sister's family join us for the occasion. Clayton is truly surrounded by some amazing people and we are thankful they were their to witness his baptism.

Last Sunday night we had our annual Christmas get together at Graham's parents house where we have dinner and then do something fun and christmasy. This year, after eating a delicious smoked turkey, smoked ham and other delicious food Graham's parents cooked, we took a ride in a stretch Hummer limo to look at Christmas lights. We had a really great time looking at lights, playing with all the gadgets in the limo, eating cookies and singing Christmas carols. Thank you Bill & Carol for such a great night.

We are headed to Graham's grandmother's house Sunday to celebrate with all of Carol's (Graham's mom) family. This is always a fun day and we are looking forward to it. Other than Christmas parties and family gatherings, we are continuing to pack up our house so we can move next Friday. We are really excited to get into the new house and grateful to the Lord for selling our house so quickly. We hope to get as much as possible set up before Christmas morning.
