Merry Christmas Letter To Family And Friends

David and I want to wish all of you the best of holidays. It's been a whirlwind of a year with so much happening. We have a lot to relect on of the past year, and we are very fortunate to have so much family around us. We have many brothers and sisters not in Virginia or in this country (Candy and Uwe are in Germany) but we will be thinking about you and wishing you were all here. Yes Candy, as we enjoy eating homemade pumkin pie!

We thank you all for supporting us in the ongoing adoption of Davis. I think many must think this will never happen. But we are at the last leg of this journey. We can't wait to start our family traditions with him and for you all to meet him. He will have so much family, unlike now. He will be truly blessed as we are.

HAPPY HOLIDAYS EVERYONE!!

This tree is so pretty. The picture doesn't show it well, I'm blaming that on the camera!

This centerpiece was a large fish, appropriate for living on the Chesapeake Bay.

Starting from the left is my sister Chris Landis ( hostess and great cook) David, Marsha Moe, her husband Al Moe, and Harold Landis (host). Everything was most delicious. We can't wait until next year when we can start new traditions with Davis.
