Holiday 2010 Part2

I may still have to add some other exciting Christmas activities in another posting but here is Christmas. My parents were able to come to Frisco and we all went to a wonderful Christmas Eve service at Restoration then spent the morning at our house with Jed's parents and sister. My grandfather came over for a quick visit as well. Other than a cold running through the house we had a fabulous Christmas. Haley got a fun hair salon station and Evan got power tools from Santa. The kids were so excited and it was fun to see them so happy to experience the joy of Christmas.

We had many opportunities to give back this Christmas as well including Christmas caroling at a retirement center. Evan was so cute, he kept asking for me to sing some of the "old people songs" which were just Christmas carols we sang at the center. So, we have enjoyed many verses of Joy to the World and Silent Night this Christmas. Together with a visit to Santa, a Christmas program at Evan's preschool...he was a wise man... and a quick trip to Houston for cousin's first Birthday it has been a wonderful blur.

Holiday 2010 Part 1

Since I am so behind on posting I thought I would do a couple holiday updates. First, we had a wonderful Roseberry Thanksgiving at Jed's parents house. The grandkids are ages 5, 4, 3, 2 and 1 now so it was a noisy house buzzing with energy.

The kids had an absolute blast and played until they could hardly stay awake one more second. I volunteered to be in charge of kids activities on Thanksgiving day to keep all the kids out of the kitchen and we played "treasure hunt" and dress-up, we made turkey cookies and colored. Between a movie and and a nap, the kids were mostly under control. Daniel hijacked the normal Thanksgiving menu and blessed us with a fancy, gourmet meal. We feasted on truffle butter turkey, roasted brussels sprouts, pears and sweet potatoes, four cheese mac and cheese, roasted fingerling potatoes, fresh cranberry relish and I was able to sneak in a green bean casserole. What a blessing to spend this precious time together.

Merry Christmas

Wishing you a Merry Christmas!

We look forward to celebrating the birth of our Savior and are so thankful for the ways that God has provided for us this year. What a joy it is to celebrate Christmas with friends and family this year. Hope you all have a wonderful Christmas!
