Christmas is over for another year. We always look forward to family time, food and fellowship. I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas. If you didn't then seeking out the Christ of Christmas will ease your pain, help you find peace and a joy that is beyond your understanding. I find it is way too easy to get busy with preparations of family coming and making food to the point of missing the real meaning of why we celebrate.
My Dad and Angie and I took Mom to the school program at their church at LightHouse Chapel on the 20th We took her in a wheelchair so that if she had any "accidents" we could just wheel her out and take care of her. But she did very well. She seemed to enjoy it. I noticed that most people could walk past her without too much problem but when Galen or Donna walked by she grabbed for them and didn't want to let go.
On Christmas Day we, along with Lucas and Anna and their two little boys took Brunch over to Dad's house so that they could have some fun and fellowship too. We made stuffed French Toast and an Egg Quiche of sorts. It is a little hard to get Mom into our house anymore with our steps. She told me years ago that we need a ramp. We used to haul Grandma in on a wheelchair. Bump, bump, bump up the stairs. But it was easier to take the food to Mom this time.
Matt and Kaitlyn had the flu on Christmas Day so they didn't make it for our gift exchange. They came the next day then. We had planned a surprise for our kids this year and so the anticipation of that was fun. We wanted to take them on a sleigh ride but because there was no snow we went on a horse drawn wagon ride instead. It was chili but fun. The kids say they get to plan the surprise next year. So we are in a little trepidation of what they could come up with. You never know what your kids might do when you are at their mercy. Lol!
