I just want to take this chance to be the first to wish you a Merry Christmas! We enjoyed a fabulous day. Santa came and delighted the children with a toy kitchen for Alyssa and a trampoline for Danica and Hayden. They were also spoiled by us and by all of you! They spent all day just playing and playing! I stayed busy playing with them and making dinner for three of the dental techs that work with Tom. They rode the bus down here around 1:30 and spent the day away from the barracks, just hanging out. I was pleasantly surprised with how dinner turned out, I don't usually do the holiday meals so this was my first solo shot at it.

Anyway, this is just a short update, really just taking advantage of the fact that Christmas is over for us and just starting for you. We hope you have a Merry Christmas!
