Christmas Eve 2010

  On Christmas Eve, Kirk and I took Jenna and Dustin to church at Grace, where my mom met us for a very special service.  It was wonderful, with a live nativity, including a donkey, and we enjoyed it so much.  At the end, as we sang "Light a Candle", we all lit candles we were holding by passing the flame from person to person, until the whole Family Life Center was filled with only candlelight.  It was beautiful!  I was so thankful to be there, alive and healthy. Last year we missed the service because I had just been discharged from the hospital that afternoon, and I really missed it.  Thank you Lord for another chance to celebrate the birth of your Son!
   After church we headed home for a ham dinner with Matt, Kelly and Caleb at our house.  After dinner, we watched "Christmas Vacation," and laughed as hard as we do every year.

Caleb was sweet and adorable in his Santa hat!
