Christmas 2011- Henderson, Tennessee

This Christmas was spent in Henderson due to the soon-to-be arrival of baby Mia. We drove to Henderson on the 19th, finding Justin, Chelsea and Jonah had already arrived. Mia arrived before we did! Katie and her family arrived on Thursday and Brandon and his family came on Saturday. We had such a good time together. Poor Kristin,,,nothing like 16 people as guests the week you give birth to your first child! It was wonderful to be back in my old kitchen cooking and doing laundry. I loved falling asleep at night to the sounds of my children talking and laughing. Best of all was going to worship together Christmas morning, Mia's first time to church. I love to hear my children's voices as we sing praises together. How blessed we are to have a Savior who died for us so that we may all worship God for eternity together. We all gathered at the home of my in-laws, Earl and Lora, along with the Drew family for Christmas dinner. We shared finger foods, Christmas gifts, and much love.Brandon, Kristin and Charlotte were not there because Brandon preached at Buford, and they were greatly missed.How blessed we have all been this year. Seven healthy grandchildren and one more on the way. Merry Christmas one and all!
