Christmas

Christmas is always a special time.  Eric and Rubie were so looking forward to Christmas.  They start asking, even before Thanksgiving, how many days until Christmas.  They talk about what we will do and what they will get.  We try to find ways to make it more about Christ and how to remember to give and enjoy time with family too.  The Sunday before Christmas we had a dinner and devotional and Mom and Dad Jeppson's, complete with a telling of the Nativity.  We spent Christmas Day here.  Angela and Dellitt joined us in the morning.  Andy and Beth came over in the afternoon.  Scott had some days off around Christmas and the Jarvis' were here too.  So we tried to do some enjoyable things without it being too much for me and Samuel.

We made bracelets for the kids' school, church, and dance teachers and grandma Jeppson.

We did a live nativity telling of the Christmas story.  Each person had a speaking/reading part, we sang some hymns, and heard testimonies from Scott and Jared.
