I enjoy making the table look nice for our gatherings. I also like dusting off the Christmas dishes. Mark made a delicious Stew of Kings, and Tiffani and I helped with sides and dessert. It was all very delicious.
Tim gave me a piano for Christmas! About four years ago, we sold the baby grand. It was too large to fit in our Highland Cottage. This piano is just perfect. I enjoyed hearing Mark playing again. I'm hoping the boys will want to learn how to play. I have loved playing a few of my favorites again too.
Grandpa took a moment to talk about how Jesus is the light of the world. He asked the boys how it makes them feel when it's dark, they gave answers like: scared or afraid. Then he gave us all a light. The light made them feel happy and safe.
Grandpa read John 8:12. When we follow Jesus is makes us feel warm and happy, but when we don't choose the right we feel dark and yucky.
"Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the
world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have
the light of life."
Colby wrote down his simple testimony and shared it with us. It was the highlight of the evening for me, I was so proud of him. I love him.
Grandpa Claus stopped by for a minute! We had fun exchanging gifts. Grahm really liked his mixer-mix.
Colby saw this cap gun at Cabela's the other day. He really wanted it so I went back to get it for him. He was happy!
Colby is so sweet. He made handmade cards and envelopes for me and Grandpa. Grandpa's card had some little origami animals he made. He also folded magazines into a Christmas tree for each of us. He is so loving and thoughtful, I will keep them forever.
Dr. Colby Williams, veterinarian!
Isn't she lovely?!
Tim surprised Tiffani with a bench, she really likes it!
We love our family and had a beautiful evening together. Thank you for the gifts Mark, Tiffani, and the boys. We missed Christopher, it's never quit the same without his energy and generous heart.
Christmas morning...
just enough snow to make it a white Christmas!
