Christmas Day

Christmas is a wonderful and beautiful time- one which came even more alive as we celebrated it with a baby boy of our own. From great worship services the two days before to opening presents to feasting to visiting friends, we had a great great time. We got to enjoy all of this with the Howells, making it all the merrier.

I spent most of Christmas Eve leading a rehearsal and three worship services, taking some family pictures after one of them.

Christmas morning we woke up to a veritable pile of presents, cinnamon rolls, and breakfast pizza.

Josiah quickly showed his preference for wrapping paper over presents

Papa and Goggin gave Sarah a shopping cart, which soon became the holding area for all her other gifts

After a light lunch we headed to the Eversons' home for a proper Christmas dinner.

There were all sorts of good things on the floor to play with

Sarah was given an abacus by J and Kim Everson

Finally, we came home- some of us more tired than others.
