Ecclesiastes 4:12 (NLT)

"A person standing alone can be attacked and defeated, but two can stand back-to-back and conquer. THREE are even better, for a triple-braided cord is not easily broken."

Festive Weekend

This weekend was full of festive Christmas events enjoyed by all. Grandma Good came into town Friday night and LTD greeted her with lots of kisses and hugs, and of course, their Friday night ritual, a disco dancing party complete with black lights and strobe Christmas lights. Saturday, we treated Grandma to a musical production at Grace Church in Eden Prairie called "The Story Tour". Some of the best known Christian music artists told the story of God’s love and redemption from Genesis to Revelation in 18 songs. The tour featured Max Lucado and Randy Frazee along with Steven Curtis Chapman, Newsboys, Francesca Battistelli, Natalie Grant, Selah, Anthem Lights. It was spectacular  and the artists also sang beautiful, traditional Christmas songs. It lasted 3 hours but was SO worth it!


This morning, Grandma got a chance to see LTD shine as they sang at church with other Crosswalk children (Sunday School) at the 10:45 service. They sang beautifully! After we treated Grandma to lunch and got her safely to the airport to fly to Denver to visit my sister, Jill, and her family, it was time for Santa!


Our neighbors really do it up right. Early tonight, they invited all the neighborhood children and their parents over for hot cocoa & cookies AND a chance to visit with Santa. They have an outdoor landing that was a perfect gathering spot for Santa to land his sleigh and sit down with all the children and look over their Christmas lists one at a time. It was such a riot and LTD were in absolute high heaven. They carefully made their lists to give to Santa and were SO happy to make it on his "Nice" list and each got a certificate with their name on it stating so. It was so beautiful outside and perfect weather for the festive gathering. All the children had a blast and the adults enjoyed it equally as much. What a perfect weekend leading into Christmas. Now, it's time to hunker down and get that Christmas shopping done, presents wrapped and sit back and ENJOY. Merry Christmas!
