Christmas Morning began with the making of our traditional pancake-cake in celebration of Jesus' birthday! "Happy Birthday to you, Jesus!"
Also a tradition in our home Christmas morning, the first gift given is the gift of giving. We each choose how to give to others in a way meaningful to each of us. This year our gifts went to World Concern to aid their efforts to de-worm children who drink from unclean water, chickens (and all the food, vaccines and supplies need to house them) so a family can feed themselves and start a business selling excess eggs, and a program that assists with the alleviation of human trafficking.
And then there were gifts given to each other.
Thank you to all our loved ones for your thoughtfulness and generosity.
Annual measurements taken. (Gloria's first!)
An Italian feast, family and fun pursued.
Merry Christmas to all!!!
"For unto us a Child is born, unto us a Son is given; and the government shall be upon His shoulder. And His name shall be called Wonderful Counselor, The mighty God, the everlasting Father, the Prince of Peace."
