We spent 8 days at America's Keswick with Jeremy's family for Christmas. It was so good to see everybody and to be with Jeremy's grandmother. First off Keswick is beautiful and has so many fun things to do on the property. 
We did lots of visiting in between baking Norwegian goodies and getting Jeremy's Grandmother's house ready for Christmas. The Dickinson clan has grown a lot since the last time we were all together so it was crazy fun at times. Christmas Eve we had a big dinner with family and opened some presents. Christmas day started earlier with more presents (opening presents is so fun with kiddos!) and then off to church. I should mention that Keswick, among other things, is a rehabilitation from addiction center . The rest of our day was spent with men from this program. We went for a little hike, then a few of the guys joined us for chatting and desserts. I have been to Keswick before and am always amazed and what God is doing there and the legacy that Jeremy's family has there ( his great great grandfather founded), but I have never talked with the men before and heard the stories from their mouths. it was such an amazing privilege. My heart goes out to all of them and it so exciting to hear what God has done and is doing in their lives.
