Christmas with the girls

We had 2 of my sweet friends over for an extended Christmas celebration since they each live alone without any family here.

On Christmas eve we exchanged gifts and read the Christmas story and sang carols


Christmas day after church, and light lunch we bundled up and went out I introduced them to tobogganing - a new fun experience for them. They soon got the hang of it and perfected their skills while I took a nap :)


Neither Mom or I were feeling up to par, but the girls pitched in where they could, cleaning up after meals etc...
and we still had a grand Turkey dinner with all the trimmings! Delicious!

Emebet really put her energy and small size to good use here (had serious leaking so the door wouldn't close and had to empty it out after which she got in there and cleaned it!)

We also managed a visit to the newly weds in their lovely home


Lots of fun and giggles, Dad enjoyed his 2 new daughters!





Sunday after church they got a ride with a family from our church and so ended their special Christmas visit! Thankful that it worked out so well!

That is so special that you had them over for four days. I'm glad you all had a good time.
