Christmas as a family of 4

It's been a special season this year as we've enjoyed celebrating our Saviour's birth with our 2 girls.

Grace did a great job of helping us decorate the house and helping to put up the Christmas tree. It was such a delight to watch her face as Glynn turned on the tree's lights each night. Then, on Christmas morning, Glynn had the family on Skype watching her open her gifts. She had so much fun and so did we. Thank you family and friends for all the gifts. It was a real special treat to be able to open them on Christmas morning.

We were also blessed by friends who invited us out on Christmas Eve, Christmas Day and New Year's Eve. Your friends become your family when you're far from home and this held true this Advent season. God has blessed us with great friends who care.

We invited Titso and her son over for Christmas lunch and we enjoyed being able to prepare a meal for others. Titso is the lady who occasionally babysits for Grace and she was the lady we called on when I went into labour with Nina at 11 the night. She came and stayed the night at our house looking after Grace. She's a very special lady whom we appreciate. Sometimes we're so busy receiving.......... it was nice to be able to serve and give to others. Glynn made the yummiest food and we both had a busy time baking cakes and other desserts this season.

Despite not spending the time with family, this has been one of our best Christmas'. Our little family has now begun our own traditions and I look forward to spending many more years celebrating the birth of our of Saviour together.
