Christmas Eve

We had a wonderful and very blessed Christmas Eve. Here are some pictures from the day. Before we headed over to Ken and Shelley's we took these pictures of the boys in their matching sweaters.

First we celebrated Christmas with Shelley's Aunt Aurea - here are the grandkids with her. We sang several Christmas songs with her... that was fun.

Shepard got a helmet and shield from AA and we thought it was so funny the way he was wearing it on his nose. :)

After dinner we all settled in to exchange gifts, and before tearing into the packages, we enjoyed hearing Ken share with us about the best gift available to us... the Holy Spirit through salvation! That was a real treat and I'm always grateful for his spiritual leadership.

CHRISTMAS SNOW! HOW FUN!

Shepard is trying to catch the snow on his tongue.

Josiah is snow-covered!

Here is Shepard wearing one of his Christmas gifts. He sure loves to dress up!

We're posing with our matching Christmas gifts from Ken and Shelley. :)

On the way back home Christmas Eve, Shepard said, "Isn't it wonderful that God gave us snow for Christmas?!" Yes! We enjoyed it so much. It had been 19 years since we had snow for Christmas! Here is what our house looked like when we got home.
