Christmas Holiday 2017 pt 1

It has been a fun holiday season.  We were so blessed to be surrounded by all of our kiddos and grandkids this year.  Unfortunately my Grandmother had to go into surgery Christmas morning, so my parents brought the meat but had to leave.  She is recovering slowly, as is to be expected from a 93 year old woman.  Other than that we had a wonderful holiday.

Our Christmas eve was wonderful.  We had all our kids and our kids' inlaws, plus my parents for a wonderful evening.  The little kids acted out the Christmas story, Aidric performed his first piano solo, Cassandra also performed, as did Sierra on the piano.  Then Sierra (on the piano) and Danika (on the violin) played "A Christmas Hallelujah" and "Angels We Have Heard On High." They sounded so good and we all got to sing along.  Latisha had made a Christmas song book, that I made copies of and everyone was able to have a book to follow along in. We finished off the carols with Alex (on the piano) and Brent (on the guitar).  I truly enjoy this time with our family.  To top off the evening we opened our Christmas pjs and all was well.
