The Sunday before Christmas, we had a little get together with my parents, brothers, sisters, nieces, nephews, a couple aunts, one uncle, and my Mama Doris for a family home evening.
After some good food, really really good food, we had a short lesson about the wise men who went in search of the Christ child.
Don’t ask me why I just posted a picture of Cliff when I started talking about wise men because he certainly doesn’t fit the bill. Just kidding. You know I love you Cliff! Any who, in the lesson about the wise men we discussed how they are similar to us today. We both are seeking Jesus Christ, we both have to struggle through a difficult journey – for them, the desert; for us, life – and like the wise men we also bring Him a gift – ourselves.
After the lesson, we jumped right into our Christmas trivia game all about Christmas movies, songs, and stories. It was soon apparent that Nathan was our resident Charlie Brown expert. Mama Doris was our Twas the Night before Christmas expert. Andrew was our, well he wasn’t an expert at anything, but we love him and his goofiness anyway.
Then Sherri helped the kids make candy necklaces. You know they loved that!!!!!
It was a great night! We may have to turn it into a new family tradition!
