Christmas 2008
This Christmas, I was very blessed and spent a beautiful holiday with my oldest daughter, Shellina, her husband, Mike and my first grandson, Aaron. They live in Mankato, MN in their beautiful home. It was a wonderful, calm, peaceful, loving 10 days. A few of those days, it was just me and Aaron.
My gift from Shellina and Mike was a beautiful 2009 Calendar, full of pictures of Aaron
Christmas eve service at their church was wonderful. Not only was it a nice worship time, but I was overwhelmed by Shellina’s singing and leading the songs through most of the service. It brought me back to when she would lead songs at our church back in California. Such wonderful memories.
After the service, we went home and had our Christmas eve dinner. It was a pleasure to cook my famous Gnocchi with marinara sauce. Shellina certaintly loved it…but I don’t think Mike got to eat very much of it!
After we ate dinner, we played scrabble. Of course, I held back, but ultimately, I was triumphant. See, here is the score sheet evidence…
Grandma Holley and Aaron….
Christmas day, we visited Grandma and Grandpa Guthrie. We had such a nice day! The brunch and dinner was so tasty. Mary Guthrie sure is a great cook.
More pictures of the world’s greatest grandson
And a picture of the world’s greatest son in law too!
I could barely hand him over when I had to leave….
What a beautiful family!!
It was one of the best holidays I have had in a very long time. What a gift.
Wishing everyone a happy and prosperous 2009.
