Christmas Shared with Loved Ones






We had so much fun Christmas Eve, and Christmas Day!
Christmas Eve, we took some toys to the homeless shelter, visited Grandpa Potter's grave, and spent the evening with Francine (Dave's step-mother) and several of the siblings with their kidlets. We had a lot of food and then watched the movie "The Nativity." It was great to see that movie have such an impact on some of the young kids. There were some precious moments there.

Christmas day I spent half of the day cooking, we ate in 20 minutes, and it took an hour to clean up. Isn't that the way it always is, though?
It was fun to have some of our kids here to share this special day with us:
Kristina, Steven, Becca, David, Laura, Mike and Christine. We opened presents, talked about ancestors and their stories, had a wonderful meal, and played some games.

We also used the web-cam to visit with some of our grandchildren. Fun! We are so blessed!
