Merry Christmas


"For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son that whosoever believes in Him shall not perish but have everlasting life." John 3:16
The Christmas Eve service at EVBC...was beautiful. The singing was amazing, and the story of how Jesus came into the world is always a joy to hear. Ashley and I picked up my mom for the service...thanks Ashley for taking a picture of us

CHRISTMAS EVE


Dennis & Pam - Matt's parents came up from Tucson to stay with us for Christmas Eve...

Fun & games - Bingo, Domino's, & Uno
Ho! Ho! Ho! - A visit from Santa...
Madison was not excited to see him.
Wow - Santa's stomach is really big...and an odd shape!
Well Mia, have you been good this year?
Can I sit on your lap, Santa?

Christmas Morning

U-Dub-opoly... goes to Dennis since he is alumni!

Mia wanted to take a picture of the tree...good job Mia!


Christmas at Grannie's House




Keeping busy...

Christmas Dinner

We all went to my mom's house for Christmas dinner...it was so beautifully done. A tradition in England is to have Christmas crackers...sitting on the plates. You grab an end and pull...there is a special prize inside and a hat that you have to wear!
Alyssa and Ashley pulling hard...
Dennis and Pam...ready to see what's inside!

Some of the yummy food we ate...


We really had a great time celebrating and eating together, and wearing our hats!

We finished off the evening with a little Christmas Karaoke...my ears are still ringing from that!

How fun Kristi!! Your mom always does a nice job with cooking and decorating. The Food looks fab. The girls are all so cute. That's cool that Matt was Santa.
