Christmas 2010

I really like to blog. I do. It sure does seem like there is usually something else to do, though. I really wanted to share a photographic description of our fun day. I really like my family, you know? =)

Michael plans to graduate in the Spring with his business accounting degree. That will launch him into the professional arena. Stacey, John and I got him this dress coat for use with his suit. He likely has an internship in the bag, Lord willing. He has a second interview to make sure he and the current employees go well together.








You can see me opening a large gift. Stacey, Michael, and Elizabeth got me a new grain mill!!! That is soooo exciting to me! I have really missed the other that broke 3 1/2 years ago.










Elizabeth discovered recently that the only sheet JW had for his bed was torn from top to bottom and that he didn't have any blankets. We decided to fix that problem and got him sheets and a comforter. He was pretty happy (but asked for a complimentary bed making =)








Stacey quickly opened this gift from Michael and Elizabeth, so I missed it. She obliged and posed for me =)












Michael and Elizabeth bought both the 2011 Guinness Book of World Records (pre-edited for us) and the newest Ripley's Believe It or Not (also edited) for all the kiddos who still live at home. They were pretty excited. They are fun books to browse - again and again.

I know what you mean about blogging -- liking to do it but other things needing to be done -- but I just wanted to say that I really like it when you blog. :-)

I loved the photos and descriptions! What a blessing to have family together for Christmas. I love your family! I assume more pictures are coming because there were some very obvious omissions in the pictures!!

Just the two of us here today. Our family "togetherness" today was purely over the phone otherwise. Not the same as being in person, but I was praising God that we don't live back when family moved to parts west in covered wagons and not only weren't together again for Christmas (or maybe ever) but also couldn't communicate easily or instantly either!

Merry Christmas to you and yours!!
