Christmas 2012

Christmas ... a time of anticipation, expectancy, wild-eyed wonder.  This year a later-than-usual tree-purchase altered our decorating routine a bit, but I must say that it was definitely worth the wait. 
Since Belle is totally enamoured with the tree, we also altered the arrangement and number of ornaments!  Although we hung fewer favorites, there were still some that will always have a special place on our tree.
Dear friends gave us this ornament in 1993,
our first Christmas together.
 
As we fast-forward 19 years, who could have imagined that we would be exploring parts of Europe and capturing some wonderful memories.  Here are a few highlights featured in the 2013 "European Overview" Calendar...
Enjoying the statues around the Liberation Monument, the Castle District, and a vintage VW...
Budapest, Hungary

Noyons, France
 
On the set of "Merlin"
Chateau de Pierrefonds, France
 
Col du Grand Colombier
 
 
Gendarmenmarkt
Berlin, Germany
 
What an Adventure!

As we marvel at the incredible gifts given to us by our Heavenly Father, we want to wish you a Merry Christmas as we celebrate the most extraordinary gift ... the birth of our Savior, Jesus Christ!
