We gathered together at Four Sisters Farm for a late Christmas celebration this year.
We were mindful of the reason for the season and are so grateful for the God's gift of Jesus!
2012 was a busy year with many blessings...but three babies in one year certainly topped the chart.
We are now up to 23 stockings hung...well...not by the chimney but near the Christmas tree!
Pop and I are so pleased to be living on Four Sisters Farm and with our recent house renovations we were able to host the family celebration for the first time at this location. It was crowded and noisy but workable. We hope that what our grandchildren will remember is that they had tons of fun with their family and cousins at Pop and Grammy's house.
Some day they will revisit the house as adults and it will surprise them how small the house is...and wonder how we all fit under one roof all together!

Some years ago we simplified Christmas and continue to revamp when we feel too much pressure or the weight steals the joy. When we gather for our big family Christmas, Pop and I have new pajamas for everyone and one gift for each of the grandchildren and we all bring small items for stuffing the stockings. When the grands are up and moving, we have so much fun with them...wrestling with Pop, cooking with Grammy, playing with cousins, etc. Then when the kiddos turn in for the night, we have the privilege of visiting with our children and catching up - the talk is always lively, enlightening, and thought-provoking. We never solve any of the world's problems but we renew our faith as we all agree that we can trust God no matter what.
Enjoy this little video of some highlights from our gathering...there is no sound...nothing is wrong with your speakers!
