To Grandmother's House We Go

We spent Christmas afternoon with my husband's mom and family.  Uncle Robbin read the Christmas story from the Bible, something Grandpa used to do every year before he passed away.  We had a Birthday Cake for Jesus.  We played games.  We exchanged some modest gifts.  We ate lots of good holiday food.

All the brothers got to be together this year.  My husband's mom gave each of the boys some ties that were their father's.  Each boy also received a special picture of dad.  We miss him this time of year.  It's only been a little over a year since his passing.  Walking up to the house when we first arrived, it felt like he was just inside waiting for us.  We definitely miss him.

A good time was had by all.  Memories were made.  We laughed over trying out the new game, Imaginiff, and getting to tease each other.  We loved being together. 

Christmas was blessed this year.  Gifts were not our focus, even if we did exchange a few.
