MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL

We want to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and remind us that this is a time of celebrating our Savior's birth. We are so thankful that He came as a babe and gave His life so that we can have eternal life. The greatest gift of all and all we have to do is acknowledge that we are sinners, ask Him to forgive us of our sins, invite Him into our hearts, and we can have eternal life and live with Him forever when we leave this earth. Please consider Him today.

Since Sunday, we have had 21 people(my parents, Rog & myself, Damon & June & 5 children, John & Elisa & 4 children, John & Melanie & 2 children) staying in our home so you can see that it is quite busy. but oh what fun. Tuesday & Wednesday we will add 6 to the number staying in our home but we have a nice camper in our driveway that will house the overflow:) This morning 15 more of our family(Greg & Susan & 4 children, Phil & Julie & 4 children, Don & Roberta, & Liz) will come and we will enjoy having the family together for fellowship, opening gifts, and a feast at the table. God has blessed us and we are so very thankful. May He be honored this day.

Below are the 2 youngest of our 23 grandchildren - Hudson & Raegan.

Just the beginning of our gifts to share
(Last night we took the tree to our patio because we have 2 granddaughters that seem to be allergic to it)

Yesterday, Rog, Johnny & John went to cut some wood for us since we have used so much during the power outage. (We like to give them good times to remember:)

They were so good looking that we had to have a picture
