Almost all our family was able to be together for Christmas this year. Wil and Amy joined us for a few days at the end of our time. We are thankful to Missionary Care Ministry that has a home available to missionaries free of cost in Athens, GA. We began planning this reunion a year ago and were able to book the whole house then. It has six bedrooms, two kitchens, two living/diningrooms, 11 acres of wooden land, a playground, and a wonderful, generous hostess there to be sure all your needs are met. We were totally overwhelmed with the graciousness shown to us and our children. We were there from Dec. 21-Jan.1. It was a wonderful time of reconnecting as a family and getting to know our grandchildren better. Here's a picture of the whole gang.
Besides celebrating Jesus' birth and having a traditional Christmas dinner, we enjoyed just being together, playing games, cooking, eating, looking at old slides, and the list could go on. We also went to Stone Mountain Park for a picnic with my
sister, Sarah Taylor, and family. After that we went to an Ethiopian restaurant. It was Kirk's (Sarah's husband) first experience. It's one of our favorites so we really stuffed ourselves.
Another highlight for the grandkids and their Grandpa was a train Paul and I found right before Christmas. It actually is really fun and the girls just loved it.Well, lots more could be said but they say a picture speaks louder than words so if you would like to see more pictures of our time together you can go to these two websites and check them out. http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=27900&l=7c436&id=624702564
