Carissa keeps singing this part of "Deck The Halls" and she is a kick!! She sits in the back of the car just singing along to all the Christmas music that is playing on the radio. She loves it, but hates it when we sing along.

The girls are great. Jocelyn is saying words, that we understand, and she is definitely developing her own little personality. She is going to be a little trouble maker I think. She likes to egg her sister on, but Carissa is pretty powerful in her retort. They play this "running game" as Carissa calls it where they run back and forth in the living room and try not to bump into each other. It usually ends when one falls over or they bump heads and all is done.

Carissa says she can't wait for Santa to come. Because Santa brings all the presents. She doesn't really understand that her Santa--is Papa. She is doing really well considering Uncle Brian and Aunt Sarah don't come for another week, but she is eagerly awaiting their arrival. She did the same thing for her party, by saying "Uncle Brian is driving from 'Da Cago' to my party!!" Da Cago is, of course, Chicago in Carissa-ese. She just loves to talk about all of her uncles and aunts and cousins when she prays and when we talk about getting together with others.

This is going to be our first Christmas not having to drive 10 hours to get to family. We actually don't have to leave home at all this holiday. We will be celebrating with the Mollet side of the family at the end of Christmas week to have a well-rounded Christmas Celebration. It's nice to be HOME.

Hope everyone has a great holiday. One of my friends is on a Mission Trip to Uganda for the next 3 weeks. Please keep her and her team in your prayers as they will be gone over the holiday, but doing great things of God's Kingdom...
