FAMILY!!! What a wonderful word, filled with such precious thoughts and memories. Each "family" has a story to tell. Each story is connected. Each connected story brings us back to God, the giver of all good things.
We were so blessed to be together this Christmas. Our 3 kids, their sweet spouses, and the Magnificent Seven (grand children) were all here. It was so great to see Nate, Christy, and Jonathan still 'picking' on each other. It made us all laugh when Meggie was talking to her 'friends' while the rest of us were playing a game. My Mom thought a tv was on in the other room. It was Meg using her many voices! It was great to see Steven, Nate and Jonathan play soccer with the older 5 grand kids. Silas was walking all around the house (loved when he opened my cupboards!)
Jerry loved going to Christina's 'winter' home (The Hilton) to swim with the kids. Rachel and Jonathan made the BEST BURGERS any of us ever ate!! We all want the recipe. Christina and I went shopping with Meggie, and oh that little one loves to talk. I just enjoyed it all. Christy had a long walk with her Dad just to talk. She put three pkgs of meat in our freezer. Grace, Faith, Aiden and Hudson could hardly wait to shop on the 26th to use their gift cards. It was so great to see the sales they got, and the joy on their faces! Steven and Christy brought a new game, Wits and wagers. Wow, what fun! The entire family loved it.
We hope you all had as much joy and laughter in your family gatherings as we did. It was great to hear the kids say this was one of the best times together ever. We agreed!
