Christmas 2010

It has been a very nice Christmas. Last night we went to the Christmas Eve service at Buck Grove Baptist Church and what a surprise when we left the church building to go home....a white Christmas was in store. The roads were already covered white and it felt like we were traveling home in a white tunnel, it was good to get home. We woke up this morning to a white Christmas. It was very pretty and very nice that the roads were not too bad. We were blessed to have our immediate family together this year, Matt, Hannah, & Isaiah, Matthew & Cari, and Luke and Ed & myself. We celebrated at our home in Flaherty, KY. We woke up this morning about 7:30 and all had breakfast then waited for Matthew and Cari, while we waited the boys watched "The Three Stooges".....must be a "guy" thing. Matthew and Cari arrived about 10:00 then we went downstairs around the Christmas tree and opened gifts, it was a fun time. This was Isaiah's first Christmas, I think he enjoyed the boxes and paper the best and finally gave up and took a nap. His mommy, Hannah, finished opening his gifts for him....he didn't mind in fact I think he liked it so he could just have a good time playing without all the work. After all the gifts were opened and everything cleaned up the boys went out and shot clay pigeons while I fixed dinner. We had ham, sweet potatoes, stuffing, green bean casserole, cranberry sauce, bread and apple pie and cherry pie for dessert. Now everything is cleaned up and Matt & Cari went to her grandparents, Luke & Jackie are playing video games, Matt, Hannah & Isaiah are taking a long nap, Ed and I are on the computers. God has given us so many blessings but the greatest gift of all is His Son, Jesus. "Happy Birthday Jesus, thank you so much for saving me, you are the best gift of all."
