Christmas 2023 ~Sweet Memories Made ~The Greatest Gift of All

Christmas Celebrations are now a Memory,
I hope y’all had a lovely Holiday.

When we sing “I’m Dreaming of a White Christmas”,
 what we’re wishing for are those light, pretty snowflakes.

Not necessarily the Ice Storm that we are experiencing
 here in our neck of the woods.

Sharing Christmas Eve with these dear friends
is a new favorite holiday tradition.

Christmas 2022
Two years makes it a tradition, right?
Thank you Chuck and Wendy for a wonderful evening.
You two make an awesome host and hostess team.

Meanwhile, our family across the country was making
sweet memories of their own…
spending Christmas Eve with cousins in new Matching Pajamas.

Of course, Santa stopped by in the night, and since Lizzie was a very good girl,
her stocking was filled with her favorite treats.

Another family tradition is spending Christmas Day
at Great Grandma’s House.

Yep, every year we all gathered for Christmas dinner.
We sang Christmas Carols while cleaning up the kitchen.
We opened gifts.
 And then, everyone took a nap.

At the age of 94, Great GMa is no longer expected to make the meal.
Stacy took on the role of Head Chef, and I, her Sous-Chef.

We did have a special guest.
Susie is an Orphan Cat at the Clinic…
And had the pleasure of spending Christmas Day with a Family.

Remember, the Greatest Gift of All was given
 by our Heavenly Father to his children.

It’s the Gift of his Son, our Savior Jesus Christ.

 “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son,
that whosoever believeth in him should not perish,
but have everlasting life” (John 3:16).

Take care,
~Natalie
