my christmas.
Family.
Family is so important.
My grandparents had four kids.
Each of their children remains happily married and now have children of their own.
Below is a recent picture taken in the lounge of the hospital.
Do you have traditions in your family? We don't have too many. I always get to open one present on Christmas Eve...and they are always pajamas. This year they are orange and super soft. I like them lots. Also, whenever we get together with the family my grandpa sings, 'o holy night.' our family is kinda musical. this year my two cousins, kristie and kate, sang while kristies husband played piano. we had to play in the lounge of the hospital because my grandma was stuck there for the holiday. but, it was beautiful. i dont' think there was a dry eye in the place. what a beautiful song. hopefully i can figure out how to post a video.
Even the security guards watching had tears in their eyes. It was quite a sweet site to see such a large group of family gathered. A large community made up of smaller family units. It was beautiful. This idea in and of itself made my heart swell with thanksgiving for what God has done in our family. For allowing much of our family to taste sweet gifts from him. I'm going to post a few photos here...and i hope you can catch a glimpse of what time w/ my family is like.
Here is a picture of us listening to Kristie and Kate sing while Jeff plays the piano. I hope to post a video of this. My cousins are extremely gifted musically. Jeff actually has a cd or two out. You can check out his blog here.
Here is a picture of my grandma in the hospital. My grandpa is taking such great care of her. They love each other so much. It's the sweetest thing to see. They have been together for 65 years. Can you believe that?
Here is the family as we all sit around the table and talk... this time we passed around old picture (a few of which i posted earlier). It was fun to hear stories...and to laugh. My uncle roger is awesome....he took me to 'pursuit of happyness' one evening. what a God fearing man. he has been a source of encouragement for me during times when i've needed it the most.
Grab bag time with the family.
Abbie....with my cousin rick.
Reed, Lucy, Kristie and Charlie.
