Today we celebrated Christmas!
We decided to postpone Christmas til we could all be together. Today was Christmas! This morning was Christmas morning and today we have what we missed a beautiful white Christmas!
We opened gifts, had brunch, decorated ginger bread houses, and played the bells.
I am sure our neihbors have wondered when our Christmas decorations would be taken down. We are probably the last people still lighting our tree everyday!!
Yes we have been able to have a wonderful Christmas in January! It was actually really nice because we were able to have Ashley, Katelyn, April, and Nana J here ALL day! Usually on holidays we have to share our loves with their families. So having them here so much today was such a blessing!!! We even got to have Allee with us all day long!!! It's been since Thanksgiving we have had this much time with her. What a gift to spend so much time with ALL my kiddos!!
Again, in the midst of a hard difficult time GOD has blessed us with the gift of grace. Grace gift of togetherness. I stood amazed all day at the gift of grace given to us! In this storm God is gracious and loving and kind to us. Again I wonder how do people go through a situation like this and not see God's hand among them.
I believe God gives us these days of grace gifts to remind us He is in control and He is soveign over all!!

35 “All the inhabitants of the earth are accounted as nothing,
But He does according to His will in the host of heaven
And among the inhabitants of earth;
And no one can [a]ward off His hand
Or say to Him, ‘What have You done?’
But He does according to His will in the host of heaven
And among the inhabitants of earth;
And no one can [a]ward off His hand
Or say to Him, ‘What have You done?’
