On This Christmas Day…

Merry Christmas!

Can you believe it’s Christmas Day already? Though I feel I was way more prepared for it this year than I have been in the past! Yesterday we were at Dan’s parent’s house to open gifts (pics to come) and at night we went to their church for their Christmas Eve candlelight service. I always love it because there is something about standing in a circle around the church sanctuary, singing “Silent Night!” Can you imagine what Mary and Joseph were feeling when Jesus was born? That Mary had just given birth to the Savior of the WORLD? That just puts me in awe to think about.
Today Dan and I headed up to my parents for a family get together with the Bussis side. Always good times and filled with laughter! That is one thing I love most about Christmas – the gatherings! Gatherings that celebrate what Christ has given us and gatherings that remind us WHY we celebrate. Though our hearts are extremely heavy today because some of our best friends have to spend it in the hospital going through SUCH a tough situation. Once again, I am reminded that God is FAITHFUL in ALL He does; He knows best, even when we don’t have a clue what the reasoning is. He NEVER leaves nor forsakes us – and that is what I cling to for our dear friends.

Tonight…and I can’t wait…we get to have a game night with all our close friends here in St. Joe! This has been in the workings for awhile, and everyone is able to make it!! It’ll get wild, it’ll get crazy, and it’ll be awesome :). We are blessed to have such loving friends! I’m sure there will be stories!
Hope you ALL have a blessed Christmas and remember why we celebrate this day. Merry Christmas!

Oh, and tomorrow, we get to head up to Borculo for the immediate Geurink Christmas party! Can’t wait!

The Sunday before we left for Michigan, at 8:00 it was MINUS 22.3 (the clock on it is wrong), and a week later in Michigan, it was 52 degrees. Talk about an upswing in temperature!…

    We are feeling as if the weeks are flying by, but I think it’s because we are forced to live day by day. With an impending major surgery on the horizon, we are trying to capitalize on everything, such as time to do projects, the nice weather to do things as a family, and time…

    I am realizing that our weeks tend to look the same, so there are “repetitive events” but there is always a cute picture to be taken (if I think of it). Though it was a bit chilly at times this week, it warmed up to be spring-like weather again! Except of course there were leaves…

    Mazy is 7 months old! When I was trying to take these pictures, she kept peeling off the sticker. I decided to just let it go because it shows what stage she is at. She is able to figure out how to do things and is so proud when she accomplishes something. So here’s the…

    I am going to join the rest of the choir and wonder where summer went? To think that it was Labor Day yesterday, completely befuddles us, but in a way, we are ready for fall and ROUTINE. Yes, we are those people! We can be incredibly spontaneous, but at the same time, we thrive off…
