Christmas Eve 2011

We spent Christmas Eve day at Mary and Stan's here in Kingsland. The Destrada family was also there, and we enjoyed a fun day together. Papa (Stan sr.) has a fun tradition of getting a new, silly Christmas hat every year. You'll see some pictures of the kids wearing it. It sings, lights up and they love it! Mary and Stan are always so generous to us. We are hoping, with their big gift to us, to buy paint from Lowes and do some much needed painting around here--eventually! If only I could make a decision about colors. We were particularly grateful to spend Christmas Eve with the Rogowskis because Papa has been sick and in and out of the hospital for quite some time now. We felt so blessed that he was home and able to be with all of us for that time of celebrating. We just were missing the Hollands! We know they had a great first Christmas in their new home in Mt. Pleasant. God is so good to us. We are grateful for our family!
