Christmas 2010 is done, and it left us with sweet memories of a Christmas Eve morning visit to Charlie and Gracie, and a remote control car. Making my almond braid a day late, but still in time for our neighbors, Steve and Roxan, to have their fix on Christmas morning. A wonderful Christmas Eve dinner cooked by Ed and enjoyed by both of us. A quiet Christmas morning, sharing time and memories and opening presents from family. Then a brunch visit to Aaron, Erin, and Charlie and Grace, to see them open their presents from us and share food we enjoy.

| My almond braids, at least 20 years running now! |
 |
| Charlie with what else??? More Thomas the Train. This is the Cookie Car Set, or as Charlie calls them The Sugar Set. Appropriate. |
 |
| Grace with Grandma, and the new doll Erin made her. Love the red hair! |
 |
| Grace's first Christmas of course had to include a sock monkey-ette (named Gabriela) to go with Charlie's much loved sock monkey, Ichiro (he DOES look like Ichiro! Really.) (It also includes a headless Grandma, evidently. :) |
Amazingly, for me, I didn't take a lot of pictures. I have been having much trouble with my shoulder (an old Kick the Can injury from Korea), and just couldn't do the camera thing. Besides, I would MUCH rather spend my shoulder energy holding Grace than holding a camera! And who wouldn't? Just look at that happiness in a sweet baby girl bundle!
When we get the pictures of Grandpa and Aaron and Charlie with the remote control car, I will share some here. (Erin?? :)
Happy Week Between Christmas and New Year's!
The verse for this day:
Trust in the Lord with all of your heart and do not depend on your own understanding. In all your decisions and choices, acknowledge Him, and He will direct your path.
My version of Proverbs 3:5-6
how did you know that i needed to see that verse? oh stress sometimes takes over when we try to plan for God, but i'm taking one day at a time. thank you for reminding me, just like my husband does, to open my hands and give it to Him.
