Family, Eats, Christmas, and Cash Referrals.

This year the Lang family Christmas was as fun as ever, as heart rendering as ever, and a confirmation of what is truly important; relationships and making fun of those you love. Last year was the year of the cowgirl Christmas and a cute little lady Bell skit. This year it was all about: nails, red dresses, babies, and flat out holding our relatives to the fire. Long story short the Bells came up with the brilliant idea of putting all the Langs' embarrassing facebook status updates to music in the form of a simple auto tune app and power point presentation, which I might add was nothing short of epic. The centerpiece of our skit was a song called Cash Referrals by one Big Al Lang/house-flipper extraordinaire whose facebook status updates are a gold mine of usable material. None of us will soon forget Luke in a dress, wig, and heels for The Bachelorette Santa style either, but that goes without saying. Sadly pictures were not taken by me of either skit, but I'll see if I can get my hands on any...
Switching gears, it wouldn't be an authentic portrayal of the evening without taking on the hard parts. The parts where tears and prayer lifted up our dear cousin Tony who is still struggling with PCD (a rare neurological condition caused by his fight with cancer). Tyler spoke regarding waiting on the promises of God and I couldn't be prouder of him. He hit just the right note; though we haven't seen some of the promises of God come to full fruition we have seen Him faithful through the worst of times and we wait on Him and His timing with joy and untainted anticipation for what is next. He is righteous, faithful, our peace giver, and savior. He sustains completely. He is Jehovah Rapha (our healer) and I am choosing to trust in Him.
And here are some pictures; of note: if you'd like to see more go here and every year I wish I took more pictures at this event so here's promising for next year...
