My House Debra

We were so blessed to have everyone home for Christmas this year. Our smaller house seemed a bit cramped to me, but it was cozy and we all had such a wonderful time. Mom wasn't feeling too well and so we didn't have her with us until Christmas morning. We had a fun time in the snow Christmas afternoon with the little ones. We all had a great time and the time just flew by. One special treat was having Audrey and Andy and Lauren as well as James and Christian join us for Church.












We have always enjoyed our Christmas Eve programs throughout the years. When the children were little we had them dress up and depict the wondrous scene of the birth of the infant Jesus Christ. With a seeming spontaneity and recognition of the importance of this event, our children gathered together of themselves and depicted this beautiful experience once again, using adults and the children. Demi was Mary, Joy was the Angel, Lauren was little Joseph and of course the baby Jesus was our little Owen. The older children were shepherds and wise men. I was strengthened in this experience to know that our children believe in the story of the birth of Christ. Their testimonies were evident in this simple and evident expression of their faith. It was a beautiful evening.
