Christmas dinner was in the barn. Our Brasov team pitched in to make a feast: turkey cooked on the green egg, dressing, cranberry casserole (with cranberries from our US visit in November), mashed potatoes and sweet potatoes (which are more easily found at local stores these days), salad, green been casserole, beer bread, and sarmale (We had to have at least something from Romania's tradition. Sarmale is pickled cabbage stuffed with pork, rice and spices, and is really really yummy, especially with a dollop of sour cream on top). My sweet friend and neighbor, Angela, made over 100 sarmale to share with us for Christmas.
With visions of making a world class snowboarding video, the kids thought they needed some edgy costumes (or non-costumes) to go with it. Yes, it was below freezing out!
Our Romania team Christmas tradition, started last year, is an Ultimate Frisbee match in the snow. We added a few more to our number with some Ebbers kids.
The winners: Ed, Emily, Katy, Jessalyn, Isaac and Nicholas. Yes, it was below freezing!
The not-winners: Michael, Abi, Daniel, Darin and Aaron

Hi Ed and Emily,
We are old friends from Vicksburg. We've enjoyed seeing the delightful family pictures and reading the interesting newsletter. Mike and I are back at Edwards Pres. and loving being with our church family. Evana is 20 and studying nursing at MC. Eleana is 19 and studying voice at Belhaven. I've told her to look up Michael, but she is too shy. Hopefully, their paths with cross someday. She lives in Caldwell Dorm. Perhaps Katy will be living there next year and they can rekindle their childhood friendship. I went to Belhaven 30 years ago. It's a great school, as you know. You are in our prayers. Love, Clarissa and Mike Davis
