Wonderful Christmas...

Despite the heavy rain we had a wonderful Christmas! On Christmas eve we went to 2:30 service at church and then on to Doug's parents house - fun and food was had by all -

Christmas morning was at Lisa's... per our tradition we made latkes with biscuits and gravy. Lisa totally has Doug trained now - he jumped right in to help grate the potatoes...

I did the mixing & frying; they came out totally awesome - crispy and tender...


Lisa was in charge of the biscuits and we made gravy from Dad's store which was perfectly savory...
After breakfast we opened some gifts.... I made Dad a calendar of family pictures at the Kodak kiosk - he really seemed to like it...

We got Uncle Ron some sweaters (he is always so cold) he was happy too...

I had time today to read my friends the Johnston's blog - they live in Japan and are missionaries... they had an amazing Christmas and it made me cry to see how they are showing the love of our Savior; Jesus Christ this time of year... which is really what all of the hullabaloo is about right?
Merry Christmas to you and yours...
