Christmas Memories

On Christmas Eve we had make-your-own-pizza night, supervised by my sister, Mary. Then we braved the treacherous roads to catch the 11 PM service at Watermark, where my brother-in-law is on staff.

On Christmas morning my niece and nephew cooked. Yum! Around the table with my sister Carrie's family we shared something about Christmas for which we're thankful. We acknowledged the loss of their husband and father. Then we watched a couple of videos with him in them.

My sister Mary's family joined us for a huge meal with 14 around the tables. Food, glorious food!

Afterward people hung out, played Wii down the street at Mary's, or worked a puzzle. We ended the day watching A Christmas Story (the one about the red BB gun). After Mary's family left, we watched and discussed The Star of Bethlehem.

Today the three sisters got our nails done, and Mary took us to lunch for my birthday. Tonight we went to the Manheim Steamroller concert with Carrie's family. It was a dress-up affair, and we took photos. Those will have to follow later.

What a blessing to have family together. We feel so blessed!
