Merry Christmas!!

What an amazing Christmas we have had! Saturday we got to take about 30 inner city kids to Celebration Station for a special Christmas treat… then back to their house for presents and fun. This is the same family we take care of every year, and every year it gets better and better. I feel so blessed to get to be a part of the team who helps take care of these amazing kids. Back in the day about 4 years ago, we used to get on school buses and go pick up families and bring them to a church service. Then we fed them and played games with them and brought them home. We met this family all those years ago and we are still able to minister to them now. They are all so precious, but I have an extra special place in my heart for a little boy named Roy. He is my love!

Sunday and Monday we got to be a part of some incredible services at HPC. It was my last chance to serve on the Highland weekend team- another team I have been so honored to get to be a part of. Last night we went to my dad’s house where we had an awesome time.  Then we went to my mom’s to get our Christmas PJ’s, then came home and exchanged gifts (I got the perfume I totally wanted- Covet). Today we spent the morning at my mom’s house, where all the kids and grandkids were. I got some baby practice with Taylor and Erin’s newest addition, Christian. Then we headed to Grandma and Grandpa’s for some great lunch, presents, four-wheeler riding, and pictures galore with the family. After a couple hours, it was time to go to Chris’ mama’s house for more presents!! It was definitely a fun afternoon! We had a great time. Then- as if we hadn’t eaten enough- we went back to my mom’s for roast and rice and gravy (Chris’ favorite!)

This is a wonderful life. The next couple days I will be packing up the apartment and getting ready for our trip to see the family in Texas. When we get back, it’s moving time! I can’t wait to get the house all fixed up and decorated. Then I get to prepare the nursery… only a little over 3 months to go til baby comes!!!

MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL, and to all a good night!!!
