Christmas 2020

We celebrated Christmas Eve by volunteering to usher at all 3 services we had, then inviting new friends and family over for Christmas Eve dinner of Raclette!  

It was a quiet gathering, and great to just spend some time quietly enjoying one another's company.

A couple laughs from the boys, too!

Christmas morning after another church meeting we zoomed with family, then ate home-made Belgian waffles with cherry sauce, whipped cream, and syrup.  YUMMY!!

And, a little walk in the Texas sunshine afterwards

We had a delightfully small family gathering today with Len's niece and her husband. . .

. . .and the rest of the crazy Denton fam.  "Laying on of hands" to Paw-Paw & Mimi because they need it hanging around all these crazies!

Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night!

Cancun Christmas

 I spent the night in Cancun on a layover this week.  Their decorations were something else.  The deer on this tree moved up & down & side to side.  Kinda creepy actually!

At least they had this right.

Celebrating 50 Years of Marriage

At the end of November we got together with some friends from our Bible study to celebrate these two on their 50th wedding anniversary!  As you can see, they were shocked!

The Final Surprise--a "Family" BBQ!

On Sunday, we came home to have a "family" dinner.  What I didn't mention was the EXTENDED family--God's family--that came to celebrate him, too!  And, yes, we had to make fun of the old man just a wee bit.  Notice the stickers on the hat!!

Blessed by multiple attendees from our Bible Study. . .

I'll tell you what, this wifey was EXHAUSTED after all this!  I think we were in bed by 8:40 p.m. that night, and asleep shortly after!
