The Son is Shining and it is so beautiful. Hope you all have a wonderful day!
I had a great evening with Annie and Doug and family last night. Church was good, although I cry every time I hear Silent Night....and I can't even explain why. I don't know if it is thoughts about my mom, or her brothers and sisters who died at this time of the year, or what?
Annie's dinner was great, she makes her lasagna just like my mom did. Matthew was so excited and fun to watch. When we sat down at the table, We held hands for prayer, and Carol mentioned it was the first time she had held a cell phone when we prayed the Our Father in church earlier, and we all laughed as Allie's phone was stuck up her sleeve slipped out. So when we joined hands for dinner prayer, Annie said "Of wait, I need to get my phone" and we all laughed and all of a sudden Matthew says "Oh wait, I need to get my presents" we all laughed again, but we finally did pray and give thanks for our meal.
Later when Matthew opened all his gifts (all exactly what he wanted and the best gift ever) Annie asked him for a kiss when he was thanking them, and he says, no mom I ate fish! Ewwww! I had brought some salmon cakes as an appetizer, and only Matthew, Math, Carol and I would eat them! He is a quick whit!
Today I am heading to Gene's nieces for dinner. I haven't seen them since Jack's graduation in June, so I'm looking forward to visiting with them all.
Love and prayers, m
