Christmas Gatherings....

We had a good Christmas, but a busy one... coming from a large family makes it a bit hectic at times, and this year we also hosted my husband's family on Christmas Eve. But it was a nice time with family, here are some photos from the various gatherings...
The first one is our family, minus granddaughter, Jorden, who was with us on Sunday and Monday for a family celebration. (see those photos from a few days ago).

And here are some others ...





We went to the Christmas Day service, which is normally very small and intimate anyway... this year was no exception.. but unfortunately, the Christmas Eve service, which normally has 100 - 120 people had less than 40, due to the weather... that service is always so wonderful, sorry that many missed it... we sure had tons of extra bulletins leftover...*sigh*


Anyway... here's a photo of the altar this year... it's always so beautiful.
