CHRISTMAS BLESSINGS TO EVERYONE................

CHRISTMAS CAME EARLY TO MY HOUSE 

DUE TO THE DISTANCE BETWEEN US AND THE BUSY SCHEDULES THEY KEEP, WE CELEBRATED CHRISTMAS A WEEK EARLY.    IT WAS SUCH A BLESSING TO HAVE THEM  WITH US. 
WE MADE COOKIES AND CANDY.  WHITE CHOCOLATE DOUBLE STUFFED OREOS AND WHITE CHOCOLATE COVERED PRETZELS......YUMMY!  WE HAD TO KEEP IT SIMPLE FOR THE GRANDS WANTED TO HELP......


THEY INSISTED ON WEARING APRONS JUST LIKE NANA.  THE APRONS WERE MADE BY THEIR GREAT-GRANDMOTHER....MY MOTHER-IN-LAW.


THE KIDS HAD A DANCE OFF AS WE ALL LAUGHED.

OF COURSE, WE HAD PRESENTS.........

THE KIDS GATHERED ON THE COUCH AND WAITED FOR POPPY TO READ THE CHRISTMAS STORY......THIS IS MY FAVORITE PART OF OUR TIME TOGETHER.
EVERYONE LISTENED AS POPPY READ THE CHRISTMAS STORY AND THE NIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS....AND THEN WE PRAY AND THANK GOD FOR ALL HIS GOODNESS AND FOR THE GREATEST GIFT EVER....JESUS!
I COULD NOT RESIST THIS PICTURE AS THEY PRAYED.........



WE ENDED THE NIGHT ALL CUDDLED UP TOGETHER IN THE FAMILY ROOM AND WATCHED A CHRISTMAS MOVIE..........

OUR HEARTS ARE FULL AND WE WERE SO BLESSED TO HAVE THIS TIME TOGETHER WITH OUR FAMILY.  I KNOW MANY OF YOU WILL BE WITH YOUR FAMILY DURING THE NEXT FEW DAYS......SO ENJOY YOUR BLESSINGS!


MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAVE A BLESSED NEW YEAR
 FROM OURS TO YOURS!
