I was sporting a mustache for Thanksgiving this year. I grew it for "Movember" which promotes awareness of cancers that commonly effect men and raises money for research. Emily sure was glad when December 1 rolled around!
I planted my summer garden at the end of November.
Here is the progress as of January 5. I can't wait until my corn and okra are ready - yum, yum!
For Christmas we made ginger bread men.
Brenna showing off her artwork.
Of course, we put up a Christmas tree.
Nicole, Jason, and Noah got to play Mary, Joseph, and Jesus for a nativity scene.
We got to watch Ella while the rest of the family was in the nativity scene (unfortunately there was no role for Jesus' big sister)
This year we gave the Griffith kids Christmas stockings on the beach.
Grilling at the beach with our friend Greg on Christmas day.
Shawn chowing down on some prawns.
We got about a million Christmas cards this year. Thanks to all our friends and family who thought of us over the holidays. A special thanks to the Legacy church who supplied so many!
We also got a couple of packages. Thanks again to Legacy folks and also to Emily's parents.
We even got Hershey Chocolate! There is just no substitute.
After Christmas, we went to church camp. Here is Jason and Ella entertaining the fellow campers.
Some camp friends, the Jennings, from Canberra.
Emily is almost 30 weeks pregnant and boy is she getting fat! (in a beautiful way)

I am so glad you guys had some friends to share Christmas with! Hey I need your address - something I failed to do is send you a Christmas card! I read somewhere that you can send your Christmas cards up until Valentines day in FEB!
great pictures! love the garden!thanks for the update and we love seeing emily being beautifully fat :) can't wait to see that sweet little one!
That's awesome! Thanks for putting up the pictures and for the update. How unconventional for us northern-hemisphere people to grill for Christmas. We actually grilled for New Years Eve but there was snow on the ground and I wasn't in shorts! I'm sure the Germans thought I was weird. =) Post pictures of your harvest when it happens!
Cute pictures, especially like the one of your lovely wife at the end. That's so exciting for you guys. She and the baby are continually in our prayers. Hope you enjoyed the summer xmas, David missed the sunny weather and eating seafood this year. :)
