MERRY CHRISTMAS!!

We hope you are all having a wonderful Christmas and that you remember that Jesus is the reason for the season. We have all the children snuggled in bed, presents all wrapped, have talked to many of our family in Canada and Australia and so I am now sitting down to post just a couple of pictures of our Christmas Eve. We attended a wonderful Christmas Eve children's service here in Edinburgh with some friends, came home for supper, the boys played outside as usual, they all had baths, got dressed in their "new" Christmas pajamas, and went to bed. I say "new" Christmas pajamas because they actually got them when we had our pre-Christmas Grammy Day back in November. So here is a photo for my Mom (and everyone else) of all the children watching their Christmas Eve video...nothing about Christmas; it was actually just a mighty machine video about trains, but that is what they picked to watch.


And some people have been asking about our decorations....they are small but mighty! Here is the bookcase when you walk in our flat, the bathroom is to the left and the linen closet to the right. The top shelf has our nativity scene and the middle has our little snowmen from Costco. Stay tuned for more of our decorations after Boxing Day as we are having a little open house for our friends and the children are all going to do a special craft as part of our Christmas decorating.
And here is our "Great Wall". It is the wall between our room and the toy room. The children have been hard at work coloring many pictures to put on the wall and we hung up some of the Christmas cards we have received. Thank you all for remembering us with the many cards.
Here is hoping you all have a safe and Happy Christmas in your part of the world.
MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY NEW YEAR!!
