Merry Christmas: Priceless!
The extended family holiday celebration is officially behind us. We had a lovely, white Christmas gathering yesterday with twelve of the fourteen family members in attendance. Jeff and Amelia were stranded in Florida; flight cancellation victims from the weekend's major snow storm. The bloghusband's four children have not been together since his 6oth birthday, nearly two years ago. As we head into Christmas week, and prepare for an intimate Vineyard celebration on the 25th, we are truly grateful for all of the blessings bestowed upon us and our family. It is my sincere wish that you enjoy the spirit of Christmas, and be reminded that hard work and sacrifice has it's rewards (if only in the eyes of baby Jesus and your own sense of accomplishment). Amen!
Beautiful family picture.
