This afternoon I made the annual visit to the Roslyn Fire Station to purchase our tree. This evening Josh, Anne, Lucia and Micah joined KJ and me. We worked together to trim the tree and prepare the house to the receive the King. Later, we lit the third Advent Candle and sang a couple of carols as the angels danced on our ceiling.
This was a special bittersweet night. We remembered what we have lost this year, we acknowledge what she gained this year and we wait for what He has to offer us as we await His return.

Very sweet. I'm glad you guys did this. We will see you very soon!
Traditions (often) bring comfort. They link us to our past, to the people and pleasures enjoyed there. It seems to me that this was a really positive step to take in your journey, and I'm glad to know there is a twinkling tree in your home. May God give you and your dear family real joy in the midst of the sorrow, and great pictures of the kids playing next to it.
