Merry Christmas

Christmas Eve, at my house, again! Our tiny house host so many parties! It is amazing how such a tiny home can hold such huge memories! The lawn is destroyed, the pantry is usually empty, and toilet paper is always a gamble! But our house is always filled with people, activity, and love. I would have it no other way! We celebrated Christmas Eve with our usual gumbo with my moms brother, Jim, and his family. The Lowe family. Aunt Janis has become a second mother to me, and I treasure our time together. Beau made the gumbo, delicious! We played hours of croquet, which brought back many memories of my sweet dad! What a blessed celebration.

We changed and got ready for 4:00 church service. It was packed! We had to sit in the back room, with kids on the floor! What a testament of our church! Of God! What a blessing to have so many pour their hearts and focus on church and God. We got home to make cookies for Santa, and the kids off to bed!

They woke up Christmas morning to a dream come true! Their bean bag chairs are so awesome! Trent was so obsessed with his fishing pole and tackle box! He and Scott have already gotten a day of fishing under their belt!! Hunter got a Gizmo watch, which is life changing. It gives him just enough freedom! It can call or text the 9 contacts I program for him. It is just family and neighbors, and he is having a blast with it! And sister got her tennis net and new racquet. It is set up outside, and we have already used the heck out of it!

Uncle Greg and Grandpa came over for tamales lunch and more croquet! Then Gigi and Richard came over that night for spaghetti dinner and more playing!! What a simple day. What a joyful day. What a perfect day. Merry Christmas 2019!!
