Merry Christmas!




Around our household, we LOVE the Christmas Season! Not only do we celebrate Jesus' birth, but we also enjoy the tradition of Santa. We love opening gifts, visiting with family, eating lots of good food and sipping hot chocolate. There really is no place like home for Christmas.
I finally have two Christmas trees. Our traditional tree which is green and filled with many memories is in a different location this year. Our family room is near completion and also houses the gas logs so we opted to move our traditional tree down there so we would have more room to open gifts with family by the fire. We have a new white Christmas tree in our living room which is decorated with clear and silver ornaments and adorned with a beautiful silver bow on top. I think it's beautiful and Blake thinks it looks like a wedding tree...haha.
Anyway, we're having a great Christmas season and Bryan is doing great! We are so thankful the he made it through the 3 cycles of chemo and is getting stronger day by day. Although he handled the chemo quite well, it has taken a little time for our lives, especially Bryan's, to get back to normal. God has blessed us with a very strong husband and father and we praise him everyday for carrying us through this valley. Thank you for your continued prayers and remember Bryan on January 5 when he will have more tests to make sure the chemo did its job.

This Christmas brings with it a different perspective because of this experience. We love a little deeper and hug a little longer because we know that our lives can be changed in an instant. Our prayers go out to you who are facing difficult times this Christmas. Remember that Jesus is truly the reason for the season and trust Him to carry you through.

Merry Christmas from The Rollers!
