Yesterday evening we returned home from a special Christmas in Texas that we shared with the Royces, and part of the Hanschen family too. Jered's mom and brother Ian flew down to Corpus Christi to share Christmas with my family this year. We made lots of good memories, and the kids were so excited to see everyone. We had a short trip this year, less than a week, but it was very full of activity. We had Christmas at our home in Virginia the weekend before our trip to Texas. The kids enjoyed telling everyone, including the pastor at children's church, that they had TWO Christmases!
That Christmas Sunday in Texas was one of the highlights of our trip for me. We went to the church my parents have been attending by their new house. Our kids kept the congregation entertained by candidly answering the pastor's questions about traveling, and then made us cry when he asked, "Why would Jesus come to earth?" Emma answered "Because he loves us!" - nice and loud for all the church to hear. Who could think of a better Christmas gift than to hear your children share the love of God with any who will listen? Amen, Emma! He does indeed love us!
