Christmas Delight






We awoke this morning to the beautiful first rays of the sunshine cresting over the top of the Monzano Mountains. Delighted with pinkish orange colors we hopped out of bed to peek into the little badgers nest. He was making all sorts of Badgerish noises that we thought surely he must be trying to wake up the whole house. Papa Bear was a little sluggish this morning and probably wished he could remain in the cave a bit longer but with Lathan peering into his stocking from the top of the stairs and pulling toys out he decided he should come down. We read the Word first this morning delighting in the Lord while sipping the best coffee I have had in 6 days. I had the chance to drive to San Antonio with the boys to see my family and my grandparents. It was a short but well visited trip and I am so thankful that I was able to go. Grandpa(my dad) drove home with me on the 12 hour trip and we arrived safely on Thursday evening. He flew home this morning super early!
Thank you all who sent gifts to the boys, they will be well loved and used! Thank you Kathy for the BEST Christmas gift of all! I love love love my little packets of Heirloom vegetables and can't wait for spring to come. We love you all and Merry Christmas!

Papa John and Grammy keep coming back to this post to see our NM family again and again. Capturing expressions at the time of opening a long awaited gift is so cool, especially when we don't get to open together. What a fun morning you shared with us! "Delight" is the perfect title. Love to you each one, Grammy
