Merry Christmas!!
Christmas Eve after church in the morning we set out the candles for the evening service. We line the entire driveway and the whole effect is quite pretty.

O Canada!
We enjoyed our visit to the beautiful province of Quebec to spend time with Grandmaman and also minister at L’Eglise Baptiste de la Beauce.
