Multiple Christmas Blessings this year!
We are blessed to have our whole family with us for Christmas Day! Plus having our friend, Rossy, here visiting from Cancun Mexico. We are still awaiting the arrival of # 11 grandchild. We are excited that Elise is sharing her first Christmas with us. She looks so cute in her little Santa hat.
Rossy helped each of the grandchildren share a Bible verse from the advent wreath, then receiving a yummy treat. One of our traditions also is to have a birthday cake for Jesus and sing Happy Birthday to Jesus. Oh, the faith of a little child. It is such a blessing. We also shared the Christmas Blessing Mix. A friend had given me one so Rossy helped package these to give everyone at our Christmas dinner. Similar to the ones Amy and family made us at Thanksgiving.
One of the things Rossy requested for her children in Cancun was a Bible. Rossy was very excited when Dan and Jenny presented them with 36 Spanish Bibles for the children.
