Christmas Past - Day 5

Just 3 weeks prior to this Christmas we were asked to go to Samara, Russia by our missions pastor at Grace Community Church and we agreed. We had about 1 month to pack up and get everything ready once again to head overseas. In our family we celebrate Christmas on Christmas eve and it is a tradition for us to have appetizers instead of a meal. My sister Monica makes all the appetizers and I make all the desserts. It is a fun tradition and one that I cherish dearly.

Josiah caught "red-handed" with his hand in the dip!


I love the expression on my niece Madison's face!
