I must admit, I had tears.  Even watching the re-run before dinner.
What a wonderful day for them.

I love my sons!

Last night I watched Shaun White win the half pipe.  He was awesome!   I must say, it was not as good as last year in many ways.  But he did what he had to do win.

Tonight the boys and I put up the Christmas tree.  There is just something about a real tree.   I have always had a real one, except for a two year period.   I don’t think I will ever go back. This is a Frasier Fir from North Carolina.  I tried to get a good picture of it but, I lack serious photography skills. :>  We also lit the Advent Candles and read the following for Day 13:

Do not be afraid, Mary, you will conceive and bear a son, whom you will name Jesus.  – Luke 1:30-31

Stand By Me…
