merry merry merry christmas

 

we had a WONDERFUL week.  for memory book purposes, here's a recap.

we started christmas with dinner at babe's in arlington on wednesday night with most of my family, then christmas with the link family on thursday morning, our family football game that afternoon, and more good homemade food that evening.  friday evening we had dinner with the pritchards and link's great grandmother, meme, at colonial and christmas at their home.

saturday was christmas eve and jay's parents (nana and poppy) and grandmother (meme) along with my parents (hunny and papa) celebrated together with us at the christmas eve service at our church, wilshire.  our little family even lit the christ candle, and link did great.  he loves light and candles and proclaims it all "HOT" which was hilarious. we had tamales and chili here that night and enjoyed a beautiful night.  christmas day we all joined together again along with my brother, jarrod's family here at our house for brunch and a few more gifts.  lots of fun, lots of family, and lots of worship - of that miracle baby, jesus.  talk about amazing.  thank you, God, for the gift of your Son.  thank you, Jesus for your gift of love.

fall on your knees
oh hear the angel voices
oh night divine
oh night when christ was born...
