Christmas was GREAT this year. I enjoy a low key Christmas every once in a while. It reminded me, in a way, of our Christmas 5 years ago when we went to Ukraine to get Kik. Nothing major, a tiny make shift tree, a few gifts that were small and useful here in our RV, and just the 6 of us. We were on a small base at the time and just like our Christmas time in Ukraine, we ended up conducting our own church service.

Here, on this remote post there wasn't a church within 4 miles and it was too far to ride our bikes in the dark, so we had Christmas Eve service here. We sang songs, read the story of the birth of Jesus from our Bibles and sang some more. It was nice. Pooh played a little music on our keyboard to make it all the more festive.

The picture above is Christmas morning and the kids are wearing the matching shirts I made them. Zach got long flannel pj pants. All were cozy for the morning activities

We had decorated our RV with lights too. We have them strung up in the living area, on the dash board and in the bedroom in the back. So, no matter where we looked, we were all lit up with colored lights! so fun! My mom sent an early Christmas gift of a clock that played Christmas music every hour on the hour. We had a lot of fun listening to the different songs played. My mom also sent crafts for us to work on. This is a little elf that Toley made. Fun!

But must of all we just enjoyed each others company. God is so good, all the time and he granted us a blessed Christmas. The weather was warm, which is a change for us, but we were able to go for a walk and just enjoy the sunshine for a change. It has been over 6 years since we had a green Christmas! We all took a vote and like the snow better!!!

We didn't get too many Christmas photos, but here are a few. This is one of my favorite. Kik got a new suit for Christmas. He loves to wear them and he wore it most of the day! The second shot is of him working on his bike, but he wouldn't take his shirt and tie off! HAHA! so cute!!!!










We hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and blessed New Year!
