Christmas 2011

...began the first Friday of December, when we gathered (almost) all our children and grands to our home for a Narnia Christmas Day!  We were able to all speak to Nate in China . . .miss him so!

Then we had Christmas Eve Eve at our house with two sons and their families who live locally.

Even Mary and Pastor came by!

Christmas Eve and Christmas morning - just Danny and me!   We enjoyed the down time that we don't really get too often!  We also were able to talk with Nate in China for a nice long time!  It has been almost a year since we have seen him . . .but July is coming and WE ARE GOING TO CHINA!  Who would ever have thought we would travel to CHINA!

Our church service was absolutely wonderful - with beautiful music and a great message about the Lamb of God:  Jesus!  Here's some pics from church:

Danny and I had a great dinner and then went for a walk.  CAN YOU TELL WE GOT A NEW CAMERA FOR CHRISTMAS?  Hoping to learn to use it before China in July!

Hope you all had a wonderful time too!
