Christmas will come a week early for us this year.  Why?  Sarge will be here for a week, right up until December 24th.

We can’t wait.

Hurray for Sarge!

Our traditional fancy-schmancy Christmas Eve dinner will take place earlier.  As will everything else.

I think we should have a party.

There will be cookies.  And presents.  And Sarge’s favorite vegetable: spinach casserole.

And Sarge’s favorite dessert:  PUMPKIN PIE!!

There will, however, be no shrimp.  Shrimp give our rough, tough Army man the creeps.

Sarge and his men head to Afghanistan in January.  They will be locating and detonating roadside bombs.

I don’t know what to say about that.
