We had a couple of days of really nice Christmas celebrations around here. Christmas Eve we were at church for a nice service with some great music by the choir and orchestra at Grace. We then gathered at my mother-in-law's home in Hopkins with some family and had a nice time and a good dinner. The kids opened up some gifts and ate too much suger.
Christmas morning is just the four of us at home, opening gifts to and from each other. The kids seemed pleased with their gifts. We give each of them three gifts, a tradition we started when Abby was young, remembering the three recorded gifts that were brought to the baby Jesus that first Christmas.
After attending the lone Christmas Day service at church, we had Krista's mom, Grandma Lee, and her brother Scott at our house. We opened gifts, watched some football, some had naps and then dinner and dessert.
It was a good Christmas for my family. I thank God for his care this year. As we near the end of 2005, I am thankful for the health and prosperity we enjoy. I look forward to 2006 and all the new experiences life will bring.
