This is a picture of Emily trying to touch an ornament on the biggest Christmas tree I've ever seen inside..
I just want to send out a quick note of thanks for all the support and love and good wishes that have been sent our way from everybody. One would think that this would be a difficult time of year to be at the hospital, but it has been surprisingly joyful and uplifting (and not because of the avalanche of gifts Benjamin has received). We had a wonderful day together as a family today, and are looking forward to tomorrow's activities.

There is a sense of rightness in spending the holidays with the very same people we've been living with for the past 6 months, nurses and patient's families alike. This morning a father of a patient who is now being followed through the out-patient clinic came by to wish us happy holidays even though he should have been at work. That's just the kind of place this is - it doesn't take much for the families here to become a bigger family under the cancer umbrella. And what better way is there than to spend Christmas with family.
.
So to hugs and kisses to all our cyberspace family, who have been faithfully following Benjamin's progress through this blog, and the Merriest, Jolliest, Happiest Christmas possible to all of you, full of love and joy and good times. And here's a video to make you smile:
