Geri and I are working hard to implement activities to make our holidays fun and meaningful as a family. Tonight we built a gingerbread house. We started doing this with our gang from Golden about 10 years ago. Our lack of construction skills are still evident. The roof keeps sliding down, but the kids don't mind as long as the candy keeps comin'.

Tomorrow we are going to Christmas Eve services at The Journey Church at Tower Grove, then coming back home to open one gift. After Benny sprinkles Reindeer Food on the front lawn, we are going to bed, hoping that Santa will find his way down our chimney.

Life is blessed and we have no room to complain or bicker about it. I hope you are ready to make sure your respective families have some meaningful times this Season.
