Hey girls!!! I am hear now and listening (reading) I have been up at Colleens ever since Sunday and just returned home today. Clara is here with us. She came on Sunday and will be here for the rest of the week.
Our whole family was together the past few days. we had a blast being with each other. We played Apples to Apples (that is of course always fun), we took turns holding the baby, We of course talked, ate and ate again, but we mostly sang. We sang Christmas songs, Praise and Worship songs and we went all the way through the "Beauty and The Beast" singing and acting out the scenes. We sang other random songs that people thought of, like "Landslide" by the Dixie chicks, "King of the Road" by Roger Miller, "All the Gold in California" by The Gatlin Brothers. Stephanie sang part of "Georgia" by Alison Krauss. We didn't know all the words to the songs that were started but we would simply stumble around, making up words and laughing.
I helped Collete build a puzzle that she got as a gift. I drew an octopus for Joseph ( He is always having me do art lessons... seriously, though it is usually a lizard that he as me draw)
We played the Wii, every body taking turns ( I am Horrible at Mario Brothers.. that is the only one I tried to play.) We cleaned the kitchen after the meals, took family pictures, drank wine, prayed.... lol... no I didn't drink the wine but many of my older siblings did. I don't like wine very much but maybe as I get older I will get a taste for, though I don't see how, at the moment it is just "undesirable".
Five of us girls went to mass today ( Colleen, Angela, Clara, Stephanie and myself) and then went through the drive through Starbucks. It was quite an experience... Collen was driving but she cant pronounce the coffee names so Angela was leaning over her giving the order, which she messed up totally, telling the lady to get this and that then finding out that no one had ordered what she had said and that they really wanted a pumpkin spice instead. We finally got through that, getting everything that was desired. We drove home and then sat in the car (that was getting colder by the minute, considering that it is Tehachapi, it was raining and the car was not on) and prayed also being joined by Christopher.
I love my family so much. I really am so blessed to have such a great family. We all love each other, wanting to improve our relationships with one another and with Christ.
It was so hard to say good bye to every one. every one was so sad to be leaving. Quite a few of us had tears rolling down our eyes ( yes... counting me.)
we just keep telling one other that God had a plan and will place us where we are supposed to be... that He is using us to accomplish this plan that he is putting into action. We all have a place in this spiritual battle, Physically and spiritually.
I love you girls..... my best friends .... My sisters in Christ.
God bless you and may you continue having a merry Christmas!!
