We had another wonderful Christmas Eve. Our one hiccup was Craig got sick after church. This year was a little different because Christmas Eve fell on a Sunday. Our plan this year was genius. We met at mom's church for a 10:00 service, headed to Kim's for lunch and then after Kim's we went to mom's for gift opening. Poor Craig came home from church and went straight to bed. In Craig's absence Mike was in charge of grilling. The picture below was Mike and Kim searching her drawers for a meat thermometer. She didn't have one but Mike jokingly kidded Kim she had plenty of wine openers.
The hunt for a meat thermometer failed miserably. Needless to say I know what I'm buying Kim and Craig next year for Christmas.
Our entire family by the tree at mom's church. We loved going to church in the morning on Christmas Eve. We wish we could do that every Christmas Eve.
The four kiddos! Jay is 15 (almost 16). Nick is 11. Lauren is 10 and Luke is 6. We are incredibly blessed.
Nana and her four grands! Nana spoiled us of us this year. What a difference a year makes, however. My mom has had an incredible year. She's lost half her body weight, she's traveled the country, spent time with her brothers and settled my grandparents affairs. She is involved in two book clubs, swims or exercises in some capacity daily, and she and I are involved in Bible Study Fellowship for women once a week. She continues to be very actively involved in all four of her grandchildren's lives. 2016 was such a difficult year. 2017 has been very kind to all of us and we are very grateful. God is good, all the time!
