Merry Christmas!

We have a lot of family near by, so holidays are always bustling with family, food and fun. Christmas is no different. Christmas Eve we had sixteen of us for dinner, stockings and a gift exchange. I really wish I could capture the smell of roasting turkey and stuffing, bubbling gravy and fresh baked rolls and pies...my favorite. meal. ever!

Christmas day will be a bit different, with our quiet family traditions in the morning (each child receives one gift from mom and dad and one gift from a sibling gift exchange) and then soups, sandwiches and leftovers for lunch and dinner with family coming and going as their schedules allow.

Whatever your holiday holds, may you be reminded of the greatest gift ever given...the gift of Jesus!

Merry Christmas from our family to yours!
