December 25 - Happy Christmas!

Enough with the book reviews! We had a great Christmas with the Greater Newland-Stallings-Wilson Clan. As you can see our nephew Eli was a barrel of laughs. He was riding his toy horse and giving new meaning to 'rockin' around the Christmas Tree.' It was a great Christmas for all in terms of the blessing of family and in material things. Believe it or not, Eli is not crying in this picture. He is merely expressing his enthusiasm.

You can see our other nephew Rhett in this second picture. He is sitting in the rocking chair. Becca's dad is visible in the background, watching the boys and making sure that they have a lot of fun. I have been specifically forbidden to post the picture of him trying on the gag gift he received at the Dirty Santa Party he and his wife attended. Let's just say that it was red and silky. Fair enough?

The best Christmas gift I received this year was being with so much of my family. Unfortunately, my parents could not make the trip as Mom is still recovering from neck and bac surgery. Please keep her in your prayers. She is making great progress and has an appointment on Janaury 25 at 2 p.m. for her check up. I know that she will do well, but she will do even better if you are praying for her, both before and after the check up.

The second greatest gift I received was as behind-the-scenes pass to the hydroponic gardens at DisneyWorld. More on that later!

We hope that your Christmas was full of blessing as well! On to more reading!

Grace and peace,
Trav Wilson
