Christmas Day!

 

"While they were there, the time came for her to deliver her child. And she gave birth to her firstborn son and wrapped him in bands of cloth, and laid him in a manger, because there was no place for them in the inn."

Today was a lovely peaceful day. We slept in, then checked out the goodies in our stockings. I wasn't moving very fast as I have extremely sore knees. I think that I may overdone my trike-riding this week!

About two PM, we went over to our friends Tom and Juni's and enjoyed Christmas dinner with them and their son Tommy. We had crab cocktails, then Juni served ham and a roast turkey breast, mashed potatoes and gravy, green bean casserole, dressing, a layer salad, rolls and cranberry sauce. By the time we ate all of that, waited a while, then ate pie, we were definitely stuffed!

We were able to chat with both of our daughters today in Oregon and Washington. It's not quite the same as getting to be with them, but it brings them and their families a bit closer.

We'd like to take this opportunity to wish all of our friends, family and gracious readers a VERY Merry Christmas!
