MERRY CHRISTMAS!

So does everyone have a WHITE Christmas yet?
Ours is old snow so far but according to the weatherman we are getting a big one.

I am so glad you guys like the new pages.  It seems much easier than putting it on the side.  Afterall you can only put so much stuff there.  Let me know what you all want, like is the font big enough, do you want it spaced more between, or numbered or...just whatever.

Monica I have prayed for you a day job ever since you were pregnant.  Mommy and I both did.  She said she wanted you to be home with Marleigh:)  So I have faith that you will get that job...its just in Gods time and not ours, right?

We had our Candlelight service last night and it lasted an hour and a half!  It usually only goes for 45 minutes at the latest but we had 66 people there!  For those of you that don't think its a lot,  trust me for Meadow Grove on Christmas Eve, thats a big crowd.  We always have communion at the closing of our service and everyone walks up,  thats what took the longest.  Some were very old and have had surgery, most went as families-young and old-We all light candles after communion and of course little ones needed help.  It was so nice just being in the quiet with nothing being said, just a quiet time with Jesus on the eve of his birthday.  If you have never went to a candlelight you don't know what you are missing.

Then we went to Helen and Jesse's for our Christmas there.  After we ate, Jacob read the Christmas story, then Helen had us all recall one of our favorite Christmas memories.  I couldn't come up with a single one that stood out, they are all special.  But now I think it would definately be the Christmas Eve services.  Of course the kids memories were of their favorite "gifts" they had received:)  But I imagine in time that will change..
I do remember one Christmas, I think me and Steve must've been like Jacobs age I guess.  Anyway it was way up in the morning and we were expecting everyone there for Christmas and some were dragging in really late.  Me and Steve of course slept in the room that is right off from the old bathroom and the tree was in the old living room.  So when anyone came in we could get up sneak in and see what they put under the tree.  So we got up and sneaked under the tree and found a gift with our names on it.  We carefully untaped our gift, looked at it and taped it back!  None the wiser!!  Mine was a new scarf, tobogin and mittens-crocheted!  I was so excited.  Steve do you remember that?  What about the rest of you?  Do you have a favorite Christmas memory  either when you were at home or after you left and came back?  Share with us!

One last thing before I shut up.  I know some of you have trouble viewing the blog on your mobile devices so I have changed a setting so that when you view the blog on your iPhone or blackberry or smartphone, it will be as a mobile app.  Not all the flair and showy stuff which often doesn't load but all of the posts and pictures will be there.
Let me know if you like it or if you would rather view it the old way on your phone.  It won't change the way you view the regular blog on your computer.
Well its almost 6am and no one is stirring...not even my Christmas Mouse! 
Love to all and have a great day!
