CHRISTmas 2007

Yesterday our family celebrated the birth of Christ at our home by reading the account from the Bible, giving thanks to God for His gift of Christ and His goodness to our family this past year, followed by opening presents. When we were done we had our traditional breakfast of Chocolate Gravy and biscuits (don't knock it until you've tried it). After the chores had been done and ice broken for the animals we headed to Donna's mother's house in Matador, TX for Christmas with her family. Her entire family was together for the first time in a long time and it was great to see everyone.

Before eating lunch we all went to the nursing home. Donna's mom had made throws for all the residents and we let the grand kids deliver them and sing for the wonderful people living in the home. Taking time out of our get together to share God's love with those precious elderly people was a blessing.

After a non-traditional lunch the afternoon was spent visiting (Jess napped) and catching up on one anothers lives. We have truely been blessed with a fine family and great friends that God continues to use to enrich our lives.
