We all had a wonderful Christmas. The best part for our family was a Christmas Card from Krista with a copy of her latest PET scan results in it. This revealed that at this point there are no additional tumors. These were results we had all been awaiting. Thanks to God and to all that prayed for her.
Our Christmas eve service was delightful. We attended the Methodist church in Morris, as their service was earlier and that would enable us to get to our family Christmas celebration on time. Lou and I are always amazed at these community services, as they are attended by many different faiths and everyone unites and make for a real "fuzzy - warm" feeling. The music was especially good with an adult choir and a children's. Our Pastor had built a candle tree which held 50 white taper candles that were all lite for the candle light service.
Christmas at Susan's house is always special from the moment you step into the door. We all arrived at the same time and had refreshments before opening our gifts. It is always a special time for me when small children are involved, the excitement in their faces and the anticipation of what is to come. The little girls supplied us with all of our emotional needs as grandparents. Travis called as we were finishing and we passed the phone around so everyone was able to talk with him. Not as good as having he, Noell and Wyatt here, but a close second.
Christmas day, Lou fixed the standing rib roasts and all have agreed, he has a new job for Christmas. He did two roasts each differently and it seemed that both were a success. I made a Yorkshire Pudding to go along with the roasts and think that may also become a new tradition. All in all a good evening for all of us.
We thank God for the travel mercies for all of our families as they traveled to and from all of our homes. More on the Christmas celebration at Lou's house later.
