A Family Time of the Year

This Christmas, Donna’s side of the family help our busy schedule and all, by choosing to come down to Oregon and help us celebrate this Christmas Season. We don’t get to see them to much, but when we do, it’s always a wonderful experience. Donna’s parents were the first to arrive on Christmas Eve day. They joined us for our first Christmas Eve Service that was held at The Chapel. Renting a High School has it’s benefits but it also has it’s drawbacks as well. It was nice of the School Distinct to allow us to have a Christmas eve service this year. It might have had something to do with the fact that Christmas Day was on Sunday and there was no staff available to open up the school. Anyway, it worked very well for us as we had a wonderful service.

Our Christmas day started out with our family, plus Grandma and Grandpa, gathered around the tree exchanging gifts. We followed that up with a brunch and a lazy day of playing games and talking.

The other families arrived and the schedule to hold, with planned dinners, shopping trips and a few of us had to work.

All in all, we are having a wonderful time.

May I say to all, a Merry Christmas and remember the reason we celebrated the season.

God Bless you All
