Christmas was relaxing and a lot of fun this year. We went to AL the week leading up to Christmas but came back on Friday the day before Christmas Eve. Grace really could enjoy it a lot more this year too. We had a Christmas Eve candlelight service that was nice and then we were invited to John and Crystal's family Christmas that night too. It was a lot of fun. We all played dirty Santa and the food was great too. Grace even racked up at their house with presents.
Christmas morning we got up and had cupcakes for Jesus' Birthday and sang Happy Birthday to Jesus! Then our Music Director and his wife did their annual breakfast for church members on Christmas morning. We went and the breakfast was GREAT!! I really enjoyed being able to go to church on Christmas!
We had a great rest of the day relaxing and having some appetizer food that I made that day with just our family. Grace played with all her new toys. Let me just say we are BLESSED BEYOND MEASURE!! The Lord has shown us time and time again HIS provision in our lives but we were amazed this Christmas. It always costs us a good bit to go to AL.. just in gas and boarding our big dog Bud, missing work and not getting paid,and then Christmas expense.. etc etc. Well, 2 days before we left our Maxima had to go into the shop because it was going dead while going down the road. We were hit with 370 bucks that we had to pay to fix it when we returned from our trip. Anyways, between anonymous church members.. that didn't even know anything about this, and my new job that fell in my lap, wonderful family members, etc. etc. the Lord helped us through perfectly!! Praise the Lord from whom all blessings flow!! :)
