This year was our year to have Christmas with Jarrod's side of the family and our first time to host at our new house. We spent a week enjoying time with them, celebrating Christmas, and eating lots of good food.
We went to a Christmas Eve service at our new church...

Candlelighting and Snow
Rick Trevino has roots in Austin and he has led music for the Christmas Eve service at our church for 18 years.
We were entertained by our nephew Cayden....
He learned to play the piano
& to climb stairs
Enjoyed opening gifts on Christmas morning....
Ate a yummy Turducken for Christmas dinner...
and also explored Austin with Jarrod's family, watched lots of football & movies, did lots of eating, lots of playing with Cayden, only a little of playing Bridge since I discovered I may not like the game so much after all (or maybe I just need to practice up a little on the computer like Jarrod has!) & had many friends stop through to visit. It was a fun time having Jarrod's family here at our house for the first time and enjoying our first Christmas in our new house here in Austin. Hope all of you also enjoyed time with family & friends this Christmas season and took time out to remember the birth of our Saviour , Jesus Christ, that our loving God sent to us to save us from our sins and allow us to have eternal life. What a wonderful reason to celebrate!
