"For to us a child is born,
to us a Son is given;
and the government shall be upon His shoulder,
and His name shall be called
Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God,
Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace."
Isaiah 9:6
Preparing for Christmas Day
We had a wonderful time celebrating Jesus' birthday in Johns Creek with Wynna, Papa, Jared and family. We finished reading our Jesse Tree story as we prepared our hearts to celebrate the birth of our Messiah, Jesus!

Perimeter Church
Gregg was able to come up for a couple of days even though he had to go back Christmas Eve for work. We had a nice time with the family and got to visit with some friends.

Celebrating with Gregg
Jared and his family came over to celebrate Christmas with Gregg before he had to leave. We enjoyed a home cooked meal and time together. The children opened one gift each as Gregg opened his gifts.

Christmas Eve
We had to say good-bye to Daddy, then went to dinner with Wynna and Papa. We read their devotion and it was time to go to bed, ready for Christmas day!
Christmas Day
Zeke woke up and discovered the goodies in his stocking! He also got to do a scavenger hunt to find his gift from Wynna and Papa. I don't have any pictures of it, but did get in on video. Wynna prepared a delicious turkey lunch with all of our favorites. Jared, Jami, Kariss, Sophia, and Harper came over to open gifts, eat, and celebrate our Saviour. It was a wonderful day, although, we missed Gregg very much.

We sang Happy Birthday to Jesus, enjoyed time together, and gave gifts to remember the priceless gift God gave us through His Son. We thank God for this indescribable gift!
"Thanks be to God for his inexpressible gift!" (2 Corinthians 9:15)
