We had another wonderful Christmas this year at our home. We had a lovely Christmas Eve service, dinner with family, opening pajamas, and we hosted my hubby's family here on Christmas Day. We had a delightful time opening gifts, playing games together (King & Pauper... Ha!) and eating delicious food. Then my mother and sister-in-law headed home (they had to work the next day -bummer!) My father-in-law came over for a while and we decorated cookies with our kids and their cousins. In all, it was full of love, family and fun! Enjoy the pics!

Matthew 7:9-12
“Which of you, if your son asks for bread, will give him a stone? Or if he asks for a fish, will give him
a snake? If you, then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much
more will your Father in heaven give good gifts to those who ask him! So in everything, do to others
what you would have them do to you, for this sums up the Law and the Prophets.
