MERRY CHRISTMAS!!

Christmas is just around the corner. Only 5 days left. Is your shopping done? Are your stockings hung? Are your plans squared away? Are your Christmas cookies and candies ready to be eaten? It's Christmas time!! Don't forget with all the crazy drivers and gift buying and packed schedules, to take time with the Lord and thank him for begining this wonderful season. Without God sending His Son, the time of the year would not exsist. Read the story for the 50th time and pull something different from it. Sing the carols with a smile on your face. And just remember that someone is going to open their heart to Christ this season, and it just might be because of you! Now that is something to celebrate!

Our plans:
Todd and I have finished shopping and all the presents are wrapped under our 3' tree...or should I say beside our 3' tree. Our traveling plans are set. Oh yes we are traveling, not too far away, but it's always scary being on the road around the holidays. Saturday night we will start our Christmas adventures by driving to Fort Scott, Kansas. This is where Todd's family is from (the Budy family...pronounced Booty...oh yeah). We are going to stay the night with his cool cousins, Jeremy and Amy and their cute kid, Dominick. Then we will have Christmas Eve lunch with the Budy's! Yum yum. After fun family time and lots of food (of course) we will head back to Missouri for Christmas in Cabool. The tradition (same every year and this year is no exception) is to go to the Cabool Second Baptist Church for the candlelight Christmas service and then head over to Grandma Mac's for Christmas Eve Dinner. Then Todd and I will stay at my parents house and wake up Christmas Morning to have our (just the 2 of us) Christmas. Then we will exchange gifts with my family and have breakfast (of course after Santa has already visited Logan at their house, a new tradition for the Walls' is starting). This will be awesome b/c it's the first Christmas with Logan!! Then after breakfast, Todd and I will be on the road again heading to Walnut Grove for the Ferguson Christmas and lunch. And I'm pretty sure after lunch and gifts we will all crash and hang out. And of course play with all the fun toys we get.

Please pray for safety on the road for Todd and I. Also my brother and his family (Rance, Elizabeth, & Logan) will be traveling to Kentucky, so please pray for their safety as well. We will be praying for your Christmas and your safety. God Bless!
