We have had a GREAT Christmas at the Festaburg. This last week we have had both our sons and their families with us which has been a special blessing.
We have attended Chapel, read the Christmas story, opened gifts together,
(There were 12 soldiers who were with us on Christmas morning.) enjoyed a wonderful Christmas dinner (about 40 joined us on Christmas day for the feast),
walked in the woods,
watched Christmas movies,
and played games.
We have laughed, cried and felt the deep warmth of just being together. Today the soldiers are back at work for a half day and will be joining us this afternoon. This week we will just hang out together, buy fireworks and on New Years we will shoot off the rockets and other fireworks.
How we thank God for this special week He has given us. We thank Him for our friends and for the Christmas story which makes it all possible.
