A week already...

Well Christmas came and went so fast. It's hard to believe it was almost a week ago and I sit here still pondering it. It really was a great few days. Actually it's been a great December and I kinda hate to see it end. Christmas Eve was a special day. It was low key which is how I like it. We enjoyed lunch with the boys and then some coffee at our fave coffee place, Due South. The church service was meaningful with the message and doing communion with our church family. Family dinner to follow was a sweet time and Brooklynn got to open her very first Christmas present. Since it was Christmas Eve,it was pjs of course then 

the whole crowd did their sleepover in one room. Our kids have done this as long as I remember and it seems that no matter how big the fam gets they make room and make it happen. 

Christmas Day was a bit more hurried than I usually like but it was a great day!! Lots of gift giving, receiving, and the usual lovely chaos. Our little one got into the swing of things quickly and made her way through it all. We hosted dinner again and it was perfect having so much family gathered together. To know that each of these family members are Jesus lovers and followers, of course we are praying that all over Brooklynn daily, is the greatest gift and blessing. To know that no matter what, we won't be separated for long on this earth or after. What Christ did for us is the reason we have Christmas to celebrate every day!
