Happy New Year

We had a great Christmas here. We had lots of family around: Papa and Grandma Gray, D.D. and Ducky Grimes, Kathryn's two sisters with Karen's husband and children. Hudson and Landon loved having Elizabeth (8) and Jonathan (6) around and they did lots of fun things including going to the park and going with Aunt Kerry to the Amazing Jake's ameusment park.

Chritsmas day was a lot of fun. Hudson got his first bicycle and seemed to really take to it. Both Hudson and Landon received lots of other gifts that they loved. We had a nice Christmas Eve service at church, though we didn't arive early enough and had to sit on the floor.

It seemed everyone got a cold during the holiday period at some point so we all commiserated. We all were able to still get out and enjoy each other and the celebration of God breaking through into this world in flesh.

Loved being here and watching the boys at Christmas. They are so aware it is Jesus birthday, and we are so thankful they have parents who make Jesus so real. It was also amazing to see Hudson and Landon so aware of what was happening when Keaton was dedicated to our Lord. A real blessing to Grandparents hearts. Thank you.
