Christmas Morning Brunch...



Christmas morning with the family, what could be better? We had more than enough delicious food and and I was grateful for all the help from Tim, Chris, Mark, and Tiff. We were also happy that Cindi could join us. It's only been a few weeks since Brad passed and to be honest it's still so hard to believe. I hope Cindi felt some comfort being with us. It was nice to give her a hug and tell her we love her.









The Christmas Cracker tradition continues, 
they had nicer prizes this year!



Colby played a song on the piano and read the Christmas story from Bible. He did so good, then we sang Silent Night. We exchanged gifts after, and it was heartwarming to see all the thoughtful and generous gifts. I will always remember that Mark wrapped the gifts he gave us! 







How cool is Colby's shark shirt!












I made a photo book for Tim with pictures of just Grandpa and Grahm... best buddies forever. I also wrote a poem to celebrate their sweet relationship.

Grandpa and Grahm

Grandpa and Grahm were best buddies from the start

The first time he held Grahm, Grandpa felt so much joy in his heart.

 

Grandpa enjoyed pushing Grahm in his stroller around the block

He was excited for the day when Grahm could talk!

 

On warm summer days Grandpa plays outside with his sweet boy

Grandpa makes up games while they play with all the toys.

 

Grandpa blows bubbles for Grahm and that fills him with glee

Grahm laughs and pops them as fast as can be.

 

Grahm will ask Grandpa to play downstairs with him

They have sword fights and the good times never seem to dim.

 

Grahm likes to read books with Grandpa sitting in a cozy spot

There is never enough time to do all the things they like a lot.

 

Grandpa’s garden is where you will often find the two of them

They eat lots of tomatoes that taste like yummy gems.

 

Grandpa’s woodshop is a place Grahm has lots of fun

He helps vacuum up the sawdust and doesn’t stop until it’s all done.

 

Grahm gives Grandpa lots of warm smiles and hugs

Then they go outside to search for a few bugs!

 

It would make Grandpa happy if he could see Grahm every day

He loves him so much, what else is there to say?

Grahm said, "It's about you and me."


Colby has already learned a song on the accordion!



I surprised the boys with a foosball table, I think I will let them take it to their house. It was get more use there and I hope it will be lots of fun. Thanks to Gramps for putting it together!


After a few games we came upstairs and ate cinnamon rolls. We also put Grey's new BattleBot arena together. He's wanted one for a long time!





I'm so thankful we could be together and for this Christmas season when we remember the Savior. I'm grateful for His redeeming love, grace, mercy, and loving-kindness.

I love my family.
