So, the crazy weekend is over and it went really well. It was our annual Christmas Drama and Café event (Country Christmas) and it is always great to see the community of faith pull together with something like this.

In terms of an update on my life, I though I would give you a brief outline:

• We put out Christmas tree up Monday and are decorating it tonight. It’s a real tree and my oldest son Nathanial picked it out – it looks great and it seems whenever he picks the Christmas tree, they are always the best. I told him the only person who is better at picking out Christmas trees is Santa.
• We took our kids to see Santa yesterday afternoon and they got their picture taken with the tired and warn out Santa…really the guy was one blink away from passing out from exhaustion. I don’t now if it was just this particular Santa who suffered from Narcolepsy or if this is a greater problem and the Santa’s need to go on strike for more breaks but he looked and acted very fatigued.
• I am caught up on TV just in time for all my favorite shows to go on Christmas break and so I guess it will be time to catch up on the movies I haven’t seen yet.
• I went out with a good friend of mine to see Déjà Vu. It was a mediocre movie but I find that all time travel movies in general are confusing and in the end don’t make any sense (for a time travel movie that is totally interesting and intriguing try Primer). I could begin to start to talk about the obvious holes in the plot of Déjà Vu but that would just be a waste of your time and mine.
• Laurie and I are going to see the new James Bond on Friday and we are both pretty excited – its been a while since we have been out to a movie together.
• It is a little less then three weeks until my sister arrives home for Christmas from Taiwan and we are all very excited. We miss her and are excited to hangout with her over Christmas.
• I am finally getting caught up with work and feel like my head is getting above water after a crazy few weeks.
