I can hardly believe it...it's almost Christmas! I had my last day in the office on Thursday and today I finally got my Inbox down to a reasonable number so that I feel like I can leave it for the next weeks while we celebrate Christmas! Yup, this is it...today is Saturday, December 17, and on Monday, Darin and Jody will fly in from Texas! We are all so excited to finally be able to be together again! This will be our Christmas week...with our kids, and with my extended family(Oma and Opa will drive in from Calgary).
Thursday evening will be Christmas Eve here at the Beck's, complete with Roladen for dinner and Black Forest Cake for dessert in honor of Jesus Birthday! We will all be together at my sister's place for Turkey dinner on Friday, before Jamie and Megan fly to Michigan on Saturday morning to spend the holidays with her family. We will make new traditions on Saturday evening by spending Christmas Eve at Heather and Matt's house...complete with Tikka and Milo! That will be an adventure I am sure!
So this is it for us...it's Christmas! I have marvelled at the wonder of Christmas this week...that God loved us with such an extravagant love that he sent His son as a baby in a manger! How incredible is that? That He is never stingy or cheap, but everything He does and gives is in abundance! Abundant love, grace, peace and joy!
May you experience the wonder of Christmas in your homes this week as well!

Hi Doris,
I just realized that I spelled Megan's and Darin's names wrong in your card ... I was into adding extra letters. My appologies to them. I do wish you all a very special week together!
Love from, Anneliese
