Christmas Day

We went to church Christmas morning - a wonderful way to start a very special day!!!

We spent the day with John's parents, aunt and cousins and his brothers plus Becky, the neighbor lady.  These people know how to party!!!!  We had a huge meal for dinner, then snacked our way through the afternoon until supper which included ham and turkey sandwiches plus leftover fixins from dinner.  I "rolled" home afterwards.

DeAnn did several fun games which I participated in but dad just sat on the couch and watched.  I did not get any pictures of the games so you'll have to wait to see DeAnn's blog for them.  Here are the Christmas families:

Neighbor Becky with the kids

John's Aunt Grace with two of her children:
Edie - Cassie, Auntie Grace, Amy and her husband, Rick
Rick and Edie are John's cousins.  Cassie is Rick & Amy's daughter (they have two sons who had already left)  Edie's husband Mark had to work.

 John's oldest brother, Gary and his wife, Sally.  They have two married sons who were spending the day with their spouse's families.  They also have a new grandson, Bradley who is about five months.

 John's parents:  Pete and Elizabeth Hiemstra

 Our wonderful Christmas host and hostess - they are the utmost greatest at their job

Merry Christmas to all and to all a goodnight!!!

Love to all,
