Christmas Eve

We had fun at the Christmas Market in Old Town.  It was a beautiful afternoon and a relaxing way to enjoy our day.
The Market was in the Cathedral plaza.

It was still cold outside and we were glad we bundled up.

This tree was even talked about on CNN.

The market has nice booths and fun things for sale.

This large manger is out every year and a great reminder of the true meaning of Christmas.

Thanksgiving Day

We had a wonderful time with our missionaries in Tallinn, Estonia for Thanksgiving this year.  It is always a joy to share holidays with our friends that have become like family to us.
Dinner at David and Kandra Millsaps' home with the Puccini family and Shannon.

Bette Sue at the Christmas market in Tallinn.  Reminded us of Germany days!

Kandra Millsaps and Bette Sue shopping at the market

LIVONIA is the city that Bette Sue grew up in and it was a territory in the Baltics

Nothing like being near the Baltic Sea walking on the hard sand!
