Christmas Glows with LOve!!!

Off to Christmas eve service!!! The Pastor had a lady bring in a baby sheep and he had all the kids in the service come up to the stage and he read the children's story The Crippled Lamb, it was such a sweet story and all those kids were just in awe of this little baby lamb, and they were all so good while he read the story!!!!The story is about this little lamb who thought he had No purpose with his life and he discovers he has a very important reason to be around and that is to keep Baby Jesus warm the night he is born!!!!The Pastor then read the Christmas story from the book of Luke!!! I love going to Christmas eve service and it was special because Will was off and was able to attend with us!!! We have gone to Midnight Mass with him before as well.
Our Church had Snow brought in!!!!!
Will cooked dinner for me!!!! Yeah!!! Although I really didn't start feeling sick until I went to bed!!!
Posing by the Christmas tree!!!!

Watching It's a Wonderful life!!! One of my favorites!!! I love watching all of the Christmas movies!!! I saw Little Women, Elf, Home Alone 1 & 2, White Christmas, Christmas Story, Miracle on 34th Street and Christmas with the Kranks!!!! And alot of Cartoon Christmas movies!!! Polar express EVERYDAY!!!

In spite of feeling so sick, I took some tylenol and did what needed to be done to make Christmas Day Special; one that I look forward to and enjoy so much. I sadly missed out on Christmas dinner at our daughter's house with her in-laws, I was so looking forward to spending the day with all of them. This is the first time I have ever been sick on Christmas Day and had to miss out on anything!!!!

Dear Jamie,
So sorry you were ill. May you mend quickly and have a Happy New Year. Cute post.

I am up and saw your post. I've gotta get to sleep...busy day Tuesday!

It's a Wonderful Life is one of my favs as well. We watched it along with Little Women, ELF (twice), Miracle on 34th Street, Santa Claus 1,2 and 3. Another Finnish movie about Santa Claus, but at the moment I forget the name of it!

We were snowed in Christmas Eve, Christmas day and the day after. Finally got to do a little after Christmas Sales. This was sooo much fun. I'm feeling alittle quizzy...ouch.

Jamie, may you have a wonderful New Year.

I am so sorry that you have been so sick. I had the same thing the week of finals. Ugh. It is amazing how we women carry on.

The precious photo of your grandbaby clasping her hands with a big O on her mouth is just a treasure.

I hate that you were sick, but it looks like you managed to make it a great day for everyone! I think someone is going to have to build on to accommodate all Camdyn's new toys!!! :)

I also think it's neat that your church brought in snow! It's cold here, but we're not going to have snow....

I hate that one person can make a big family have problems! It has happened in our family, but we finally managed to pull ourselves back together. I hope that happens for you!

Hope you're feeling better! I'm back on your list? Don't know why that happens? It has happened to me, too??? Love the pancake shapes. You'll have to give me the recipe for that adorable snowman cheese ball, LOVE it! Looks like happiness was had by all. Have a magical New Year!
Hugz, Z

Jamie, I love all of your pictures, what a wonderful Christmas with your family. Camdyn is such a doll and she looks so excited. I am so sorry to hear you were sick. I made it through Christmas, but Sat. morning woke up with a horrible cold and still all stuffed up. I hope this goes away soon. I have so enjoyed meeting you and getting to know you this past year and hope you have a Blessed and Happy New Year. Hugs, Marty

Merry Christmas! I am so sorry you were sick. KJ got sick the night of Christmas day too! Poor girl threw up at the movie. A first for her too! Have I told you I am loving your hair. It looks so cute all the time. Is it longer/straighter or what? Whatever it is I'm loving it. Do you know we have had the movie "It's a Wonderful life" for six years now and I have never watched it. It just gets so busy around this time of year. It is Cody's fav. as well. I must see it. I am glad you had a magical Christmas! It looks like Santa took care of all of you pretty good! YOu must of been good! Miss C face running into your house and seeing all her gifts is priceless. She is such a cute girl! Looks like everything you got her was a hit. I'm glad you are feeling better and got to enjoy your sweet family on Christmas. Have fun on New Years!

Bethanie said...

HI, I love all the pics. Camdyn is so sweet! She looks so cute when she ran in the house to see all her presents. I love the picture of grand-dude laying on his belly playing with her. She is so loved!!! I do agree with the lady that said you are going to have to build on a play room for her with all those new toys she got. :-) haha
I hope you are feeling better and have a great new Years eve.
Love you and talk to you soon, Bethanie
