2009 A Christmas to Remember










This Christmas was a time of joy, traveling, friends & family, and sickness. The joy of it was the remembrance of our Savior, Jesus Christ, who being one of the Trinity, took on flesh and became one of us.
We traveled to TN (Clarksville and Ripley) where both our families live. They all were a blessing to see and to spend time with.
The most interesting and memorable thing that happened this Christmas was the sickness that swept through our families in such a short time. Thirteen members of our family caught a virus of some sort. Needless to say, there was a lot of cleaning going on in each household.
This Christmas was also Reuben's first Christmas. Although he was one of the thirteen who got sick, he had a fun time playing with the wrapping paper and bows. He also got to be held and kissed by his great-grandparents, grandparents, uncles, aunts, cousins, and several other people.
We are so thankful for the memories that were made and especially thankful for the gift of Salvation that only comes through Jesus Christ.
