This year started at the Boydstons on Christmas eve. Their daughter Betsy is missing from this photo since her plane got delayed to weather. We went to the airport after dinner to greet her. Her plane came in slightly late, then the airline lost her luggage which delayed her entry into the pick up area. We were all going to go to church but due to the delay, we all decided to just call it a night.
Christmas morning I opened the packages from my Mother and siblings. I got a handful of movies that I wanted. The students love to watch movie and are always looking for DVD's to borrow so it is a fun present for me and the students will enjoy it as well. There are also delicious candies and a very cool folding Navity set in a box. Afterward I went to the Farnsworths for a Christmas lunch with Ned and his family and the Scherers. It was delicious and good company.
The day after Christmas all the staff that lives (or did live recently) on campus and the students living on campus to help with maintenance over break had a Christmas Bar-B-Que organized by Hiob and his wife. Hiob and the guys did all the Bar-B-Que and we added a bunch of side dishes. It was a yummy and fun time of fellowship.
Before we ate we spent some time giving Thanks to God and sang some praise choruses led by Sonny.
Baby Jireh with her mommy is checking everyone out patiently waiting for the food. After dinner we played a couple games of volleyball. Finally we ended the night with some group games. Really ---- what party would be complete without musical chairs?
Meluat plays while Daisy and Hiob look on. I am taking pictures because I was the first eliminated.
Although I missed my family especially as I miss my Dad, I was again blessed this holiday season which such an amazing group of friends. I pray that you found joy in your holiday season.
