A Night of Christmas Fun!

We had a few people over for dinner on Sunday night.

It’s a lovely bunch, wouldn’t you say?

Here’s just our family…..

We need those other people back to make us look all Christmas-y. We don’t have enough red in our picture.

These are all of the people that homechurch with us. We usually meet in two different groups, but we all thought that we needed to be all together for Christmas. It made sense until they all got here. Then I started wondering what medication I had been on to think this was a good idea. That RobitussinPM is strong stuff!

The kids played outside. The moms heated up the Mexican food that we each brought. The dads…..hmmmm. I’m not sure what the dads were doing. Why is it you never really know what the dads were doing?

This guy, while he doesn’t belong to me, needed me to take his picture. He is so charming I couldn’t resist.

And forget it if you think I could resist this.

Or this.

After we stuffed ourselves we took the tables out and gathered in the living room and sang carols.

It was delightful until one of the kids begged to sing, “The Twelve Days of Christmas.” I won’t say who, but one of the moms tried to cheat and start at the end.

Here’s my guy. He melts my heart. And to the left is my son picking his nose. He gets that from his father.

This is what happens when you have two bloggers in one group. “Hi Grateful! You’re as crazy as I am!”

As I was putting the baby to bed, I could hear all of my friends in the other room singing “Away in a Manger.” It made me feel all warm and fuzzy inside. Kinda like RobitussinPM, but without the hangover the next day.

It was a great night. Prayer, friends, Mexican food, Christmas carols, hot chocolate and children everywhere. It’s as it should be.
