It is Christmas time!!

Christmas is on it's way.  We are back home in France and enjoying the Christmas activities! On Friday night, I had a ladies/girls decorating party.  In years' past, I have had the University students in for an evening together, but decided to invite all the "females" this year.  It was fun to have the young girls as well as our oldest member here.



Then Sunday afternoon, we had our English service.  It was a bit special for Christmas  as we sang Christmas carols, had musical pieces by two American families and then a beautiful array of American Christmas goodies!  We had a good group of almost 30.


Family Thanksgiving!




After 6 years, we were able to have the whole family in one place for a few days.  What a wonderful treat it was for us all.  Here is a picture of all 23 of us.  Some of you will remember when our children were the age of the tiny tots in the picture.  God has been good to us.

and here is a shot of us with those 12 precious grandkids!
