Christmas Eve

A day off work for Tony - which meant sleeping in until 11am and staying up late the night before practicing his guitar, listening to sermons, reading articles and a new book. He has been so busy lately and is very much enjoying this two week break from school (I am too!). That afternoon we went to visit Ms. Bessie who stays at an assisted living facility. She was so excited to see us and was such an encouragement to us. We read thru the advent reading and sang "Who is This?" - an older hymn that none of us knew. Haha. It was a sweet time of fellowship.

My family came over that evening. :) We had veggie soup and sandwiches with chips and fresh salsa. Then we each opened one gift - tradition. Tony & I received a popcorn maker! Then we watched the planetarium show, "A Created Cosmos" by Answers in Genesis. That was the second time I'd seen it and it just leaves me in total awe of my Creator! Matthew & I made some very sweet butter rum drinks and we all played a [lengthy] game of Scrabble. ;)
