We had a most wonderful Christmas!

I hope that we all remembered the true meaning of Christmas and that we can strive to have the unconditional love and service throughout the rest of the year.



Nativity and Jammies

Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea in the days of Herod the king, behold there came wise men from the east to Jerusalem.

Then Herod, when he had privily called the wise men, enquired of them diligently what time the star appeared.

And he sent them to Bethlehem, and said, Go and search diligently for the young child; and when ye have found him, bring me word again that I may come and worship him also.

When they had heard the king, they departed; and, lo, the star, which they saw in the east, went before them, till it came and stood over where the young child was.

When they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceeding great joy.

 

Three Wise Men

And when they were come into the house, they saw the young child with Mary his mother, and fell down, and worshipped him; and when they had opened their treasures, they presented unto him gifts; gold and frankincense, and myrrh.

Thanks to both of you!

Family Christmas Party

At our family party this year we a couple of games from "Minute To Win It".

  

See you at the next Christmas party.

I won!!

Right before Christmas I entered and won a Giveaway from Connie. I was shock-ed and excited when she sent an e-mail. I was able to make the pick up at her sister, Nancy's, work.

This my friends is what I won!

A yummy candle, Kurt Bestor CD, Christmas towel and hot pads, Apricot jam from her tree and walnuts from her tree. Her Walnut tree, not her Apricot tree.

Oh thank you, thank you Connie. Tradition in our family is that you can't open ANYTHING until Christmas morning but....since it was a giveaway and I wanted to blog about it EARLY I got to open it. Too bad I didn't get to post this earlier on the old blog.

Let the games begin.
