The Most Wonderful Time of the Year

The Christmas season is officially here in Northern Ireland. Of course, they don't celebrate Thanksgiving here. Therefore, Christmas decorations go up after Halloween. We have been listening to Christmas music and trying to pick up a few gifts to take back home with us. There will be no Christmas tree for us this year as we are leaving the first week in December to head back to Louisiana. We are fully relying on the Christmas trees and decorations of our friends and family at home.

Actually, someone at church said that they don't put their decorations up until after Thanksgiving (even though they don't celebrate it). I don't know. But decorations are up in stores and Christmas music is playing. We are in the mood for the most wonderful time of the year!!

I am sure Kristen and Dawson are loving the decorations. Elayna is still a little too young but she'll catch on! Can't wait for y'all to be in Louisiana for Christmas =). Big Smile. A working vacation for sure but still some fun time! Love, Emme and Poppie

I am so glad that you all will get to be home for Christmas! We will be in the USA for Christmas as well- was not supposed to be but a little sunshine from this storm! Enjoy every moment with family. Praying that the Lord will open the doors that need to be opened for your return to Ireland (or Africa) =)
