Christmas 2013

This was our “off” year for Christmas….meaning it is the year for the in-laws to have our daughters and families on the actual holiday.  So we celebrated Christmas the weekend before.  The weather was not so great for some of the outdoor activities (potato gun, fire, etc.) that we usually like to do but we enjoyed our time together celebrating the birth of Jesus.

First we had the families take a little Bible quiz over the Christmas story.  It is eye-opening how many of our facts can come from Christmas songs rather than the Bible.

Then we read the Christmas story.

We had all our traditional foods….fresh baked cinnamon rolls, fudge, sugar cookies and lasagne for dinner.   Wonderful Christmas memories and many blessings.
