Home for Christmas

Our whole family is home for Christmas. God is so good. thank you Lord for letting us all gather here for Christmas. This year we have our newest member to our family. Mandy's husband Jorge is with us. I have to thank the Lord for 3 awesome son-in laws. Jorge fits into our family so well. The Lord has blessed us in so many ways again this year. We have all 3 of our beautiful daughters here with their husbands and our 4 beautiful grand kids. We have so much to thank God for. The safe travel getting here and we are all in good health (Sigh) except for little Kellen who is not feeling the greatest. He has a bad cold. Wendy sister Cynthia and her 4 children just came over so except for John our whole family is here now. We are going to celebrate our Christmas tomorrow instead of Monday because Tom and Tanya go to Toms Dad's on Christmas this year. Bob and Kristy are going to Bob's mom and dad's tomorrow evening in Spruce Groove. The poor Christmas tree is loaded down with presents again this year. It will take us a long time to open all the gifts tomorrow for sure. The kids and some of the bigger kids can't wait for tomorrow to come. I have busy day coming as I have a 22 lb. turkey to stuff and get ready for noon tomorrow with all the trimmings. Mashed potatoes, turnips, Sweet potatoes and corn and cranberry sauce and off course gravy. Plus Wendy has some great deserts after dinner. She made some butter tarts all kinds of squares, cookies, fruit cake and some (Cherry Cheese Pie's ) My favorite. She spoils me but I love her for it. Oh and there is chocolates every where you look. Ha ha. We'll probably all gain a few pounds for sure. I hope and pray that everyone who reads this blog will have a Very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. May God Bless you and your family.
