I remember Christmas Eve. 1979....there was snow on the ground, but it was calm and pretty.
It has been a long wait but they "rents", as my sisters call them, are here. We have been planning this trip for months and they have been chomping at their bits (I haven't seen any bits), to see their first great grand, Frazier. Yesterday they met him and here are the pics to prove it. Frazier was in such a good mood....all smiles and just contented. The only time he gets a little cranky and fussy is when he wants to eat, but then don't we all :) .
Even though Frazier doesn't really do all that much at this point, he is just endlessly entertaining. Every cute sound and every cute expression is mentally recorded. None of us can keep our eyes off him....I had almost forgotten about that magnetic quality.
Tonight is our Christmas eve. soup supper. Tonight will be turkey soup (made with the turkey we had yesterday) and crawfish soup...an all time favorite of mine! Randi's grandparents will come after church, too. For about six years now we have spent Christmas eve. with Randi's parents and her brother and they are in France for Christmas. (Her parents are living in Belgium for a few years.) It will be very strange without them and it will not seem like Christmas eve. without them. We will miss Ross, Karen, and Jim.
On another note it is Jim's and my 30th wedding anniversary and that is hard for both of us to believe.
Happy Anniversary, Jim! I love you.

I had no idea we saw you guys on your special day. Happy Anniversary! We had a blast seeing Josh, Randi, and Frazier...he is just precious by the way.
Also, your last post on stopping and listening has really been on my heart. I've been pausing to hear His voice more, and it's just amazing...why haven't I been doing it more? Crazy. Thank you for sharing!
We too missed spending Christmas Eve with you and the whole family. Our circumstances were surely different this year, but we will invent new memories until we are together again on Christmas Eve. Happy Anniversary and congratulations on 30 wonderful years. We are very lucky aren't we?!
Miss you all,
Karen
I remember that Dec. 24th. too. it was a special evening. We had a wonderful Christmas this year too thats for sure. Such a good time at your home and also such a great time to get to Josh's and Randi's lovely home. Then of course the big highlight of meeting our one and only great-grandchild. Our beautiful great grandson Frazier. What a blessing he is. Thanks for a wonderful time.
