Great plan Mandy. My adult children, their spouses, my step-daughter home from college and my nephew home from the NAVY were all here today for about 4 hours. We had our tradition of enchiladas, rice and beans. I made cheese, Angie made chicken and some veggie ones too.

We shared past stories of Christmas, said our prayers and acknowledged the glory of the celebration then picked out gifts from the World Vision Catalogue. A glorious day....then Angie and I went to service tonight...we can sleep in tomorrow...like that ever happens!

Well we had a great day yesterday. We went to Church but it was our day to do nursery duty but Sunday school was good. Afterward we went over to the Sanctuary and visited with some friends and got a motorcycle ride planned for the afternoon. We got home, I cooked part of the meal, got in my gear and hubby and I met with a friends for a 2 hour ride. After we got home, I finished cooking we sat at the dinning room table with the good dishes. Kids pretended that the 6th chair was for Jesus. After we ate, hubby lit the fire place (gel fuel cans) I heated some Apple Cider, turned down the lights, Just had some candles, and Christmas lights on. Hubby read The Christmas story and let the kids fill in parts. Then we let the kids open their presents and had dessert. It was a great night.
