Sunday Snapshots: Memorable Moments from the Week

 

As I mentioned yesterday, we’ve had the sweetest week. I welcomed the mix of rest and people, and today I’ll give you a glimpse into our fun!

Last Sunday was our Christmas program at church, and Ryan and I were both part of it! I was SO proud of him and all of those in our amazing choir. (I love a choir!) And Ryan also did a monologue, along with some others in the church, and they all did a fantastic job. So moving!

I had a massive gift-wrapping party this week. Nothing like waiting until the last minute and then wrapping everything at once! You might notice from the photo that Ryan was enjoying a massive football watching party at the same time. Ha!

We had Christmas with Ryan’s dad, stepmom, grandma, and one of his brothers this week. We all met up at Cracker Barrel and they had live music we could enjoy while we ate! And on the way home, we saw (but did not make contact with) two deer. My deer-spotting count from this week alone climbed to FIFTEEN with those two.

We had a beautiful service at church on Christmas Eve. I was excited to get to share a short message, and I loved all the Christmas songs we sang together! (I did not love the heels I wore. They were on for an hour and I ended up with TWO blisters. Perhaps it is time to shop….)

Christmas Day was a family celebration sort of day, and we got some great gifts. I’ll have to tell you more about the gifts another day.

Ryan and I went on a fun evening-after-Christmas shopping date that ALSO included a drive through some new-to-us Christmas lights! This effectively marked one item off my 50 Before 50 List! YAY!!!!

Last night we enjoyed Christmas with our godson and his Mama. This was the SIXTH Christmas we’ve been part of their lives, and it remains a tremendous privilege.
