| Jack was outside to greet us too I got up early and made cheesy potatoes for the Faith Rider’s Christmas party. I went outside and filled the bird feeders and then got ready while the potatoes were baking. We left and got to the Fire Station by our church where the party was held. After greeting everyone, we sat down and Isaac read Luke 2 about the birth of Jesus. Then we went around all the tables and everyone said something they are thankful for. There were tears shed by some who were so thankful for what God has done, and everyone knew Jesus was the number one thing we were all thankful for, but we had much more we were thankful for too. Jesus is the one who gave us family, health and many more things that were mentioned. Elaine gave a great devotion. We ate after that. There was turkey, ham, meatballs, cheesy potatoes, baked beans, corn, salads and delicious desserts. Everything was so good. Elaine led us in singing Christmas Carols. Then we did some games and won some prizes. It was lots of fun. We all helped clean up afterwards. We came home and read our Bibles. Then Bill hooked up some cool lights he got for the wheel on the back of the jeep. He had me come out to step on the brake so he could test them. Then he stepped on the brake so I could see them. Pretty cool! He blew the leaves off the deck, then we left to deliver pies and big cookies to the girls from their Uncle Fred. We met Kimmy and Eli in the parking lot at the Family Thrift Store. We missed seeing them when we went by and also missed them again on our way. back the other direction after Kimmy called and let us know where she was. We thought they were at Joann Fabric. Good thing Kimmy saw us go by and called us. I put the pie and cookie in the backseat. Eli tried on the leather Jacket Papa gave him. It fit perfectly. We said our goodbyes, then went to Melissa’s and dropped her pie and big cookie off. Jack and Evan came out and greeted us and were so joyful. We went and got a carwash after that, then went to Battery Plus because Bill’s key fob didn’t work and we had just got a new battery for it there. They just took the battery out and put it back in and it worked. Bill said we only had 16 miles we could go on the gas left in the tank, so we went to Sam’s Club and got gas for $3.02 a gallon. We went to Vikki’s after that and took her pie and cookie in. Isaac came right away and showed me his new phone. He showed me how to do stuff on it too. Pretty cool! Vikki had made bean dip and we all ate some on taco shells with lettuce and cheese. It was delicious. Yum! Thank you Vikki. Vikki had to go pick Peyton up from a friends so we headed home. We watched a movie called Christmas Miracles that was good. |
