Christmas 2022! Celebrating the Birth of King Jesus!

Isaiah 9:6
For to us a child is born, to us a son is given; and the government shall be upon his shoulder, and his name shall be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.


Christmas, the celebration of the birth of our Savior!!!!!


Candy canes are my favorite.  I had never seen this before.  Now I know why I like candy canes! 
We did our traditional visit to the Kilgore home for Christmas Eve.  Kristin's in-laws invite us every year.  The only way to get pictures of the Layne and Lucy is when they are not looking.  If they are looking you get some sort of face. It's dinner time and there is always prayer before we start eating.  I love that. 
Lucy and Justin

Layne is getting some salad dressing. As usual the food is plentiful and so good. 
Mike and Jason!
Jason's girlfriend and Kristin
The cousins all exchange pajamas.  Kristin has been getting the grandparents gifts.  This is mine.
Lucy and her cousin in the pajamas. 
All the cousins in their jammies.  Doesn't matter how old you are if you are a cousin you wear those pajamas!


Justin and Lucy.
The ornament exchange happens after the pajama exchange.  Kristin in pondering this ornament.
Mike got to trade several times because ornaments were taken away from him.  He really inspected each wrapped ornament he picked up. 
It was a blessing to be able to share Christmas Eve with 29 others! Thanks for the invitation. 
Christmas morning gift opening!  Lots of practical gifts for both of us.  
From the Lathrops.  Sweats for Mike.
I'm dreaming of a white Christmas. 
I got one. 
Layne liked the gift card we got her.  
Totally not practical and I love it.  A record player from the Lathrops. 
Ryland and Easton always seem to want cash.  I prefer giving an actual gift they don't have to shop for but cash it is! 
Pajamas!
Christmas morning at the Lathrop house.
Layne and Lucy with their new belt buckles.  I love this so much! 
The End!
