Christmas Eve




What a glorious day it is! Christmas morning!! The day that we celebrate the birth of our Saviour! Merry Christmas!!
Last night we spent Christmas Eve with my family and what a night it was! David and Shannon came down late because David is dealing with some health problems and had to make a run to the hospital before he drove 2 hours. He is healing, but slowly and painfully. Please pray for fast healing and strength as he gets better.
Katie, Kipp and Doran came down from the cities also! It is so nice to see Katie with someone so great like Kipp! He is a good man to Katie and Doran - and I know he hears it a lot, but I truly do hope that Katie and Kipp get married. He has a lot to offer Doran and watching him interact with Doran through his fits and fun... Kipp will make a great husband and father!!
Dad made his usual-an amazing meal! Mom sat and took everything in since she can't really move around a whole lot with her cast.
Pete and Jake did their usual goofing back and forth until someone yells at them. A few times! Jake talked a lot about a gift he ordered online - a pair of Nike shoes. We are all eager to see them as he talked them up so well!! Peter mentioned Maria quite a few times and then had mom read a card from her. Maria gave us all a gift- I got earrings, pink earrings. Good choice Maria!! Jackson got these great plush blocks- GREAT gift! I know he will love them. Jared received a nice dress shirt from her. He always love a good dress shirt!
Doran and I told the true Christmas Story of Jesus' birth. Dad taped it on his new digital camcorder!! Doran did a great job!
Shannon and David gave mom and dad a fabulous gift! Her dad does amazing wood carvings and carved them a bear and welcome sign. Mom's face lit up and she didn't stop smiling for the rest of the night! Good job guys! I would love to have her dad make us one of them-they are amazing and the detail is unreal!!
It was nice to have uncle Larry with us also! Dad really loves to have his siblings come over and it means a lot ot us that we can all get together. My aunt Margaret with Becky and uncle Larry are going to be there today for Christmas.
I love to spend time with my family like that! We all get along, no drama, just lots of love and laughter!
I hope you all were able to have a fabulous and joyous Christmas Eve! I pray that God's love with fill your lives and guide you in all that you do!
Merry Christmas!
