This wraps up Day 3′s installment of the Adventures in Finch Christmas Vacations ’09 edition. Tomorrow is partially a travel day so I am going to do my best to get some road action shots & Christmas Eve pics at home… so stay tuned. Today was the official Christmas dinner with Joy’s family followed by the exchanging of presents. The kids had a great time with their new gifts & we adults got in on the action as well. Afterward the men went out & started several brush fires. I was able to relive my childhood of being a pyromanic (I really was… ask my neighbors whose yard I completely burnt to a crisp!). We came in for dinner & squeezed in a quick round of Scrabble… yours truly wore down the competition… booyah!
Most of the pics I took today were during our gift exchange. I hope you enjoy. Here are the ladies with the children.
I think we all know what Jamie should receive for Christmas next year… ladies & gentlemen, the world’s first video camcorder!
Ah… yes… just what I enjoy to read the most, dead people. As many of you know, my background is Theology & I enjoy few things more than the writings of the Reformers. Can’t beat Luther’s commentary on Romans!
I spent the morning delving into one of my two new books. Since this year celebrated John Calvin’s 500 birthday, I thought it fitting to close out the year with one of his most respected biographies. It has been wonderfully readable.
See you tomorrow! Good day fine folks!

J Coleman - Ben – Better watch eating like that. It will make your hair fall out and your pants not fit. . . Take if from someone who knows. You’ve got a beautiful family and talent to boot.
