More Christmas Activity

Christmas is over and we are now on to the next adventure! The last few days have been great, but everyone is moving on today for the New Year. Kristy and Brian are headed home via Blowing Rock, NC -- one of their favorite destinations. Kirk flies home later today, and Chad and Jen are on the bus heading from Mexico City to Guatemala. (P.S. Just got email from Chad. He says, "The city is in full holiday spirit. The weather is spectacular.")
We had plenty of good Christmas celebration time; encouraged by Connie's extensive decorating and preparation. Here Jen and Kristy enjoy Connie's "little tree" in the dinning room.
We had plenty, plenty to eat. Consulting Chef Chad expertly carves the turkey for his Chief Chef, Mom. Chad is actually the gourmet cook in our family and he always brings a professional touch to the kitchen chores. It was good!!!We spent several hours on Christmas Day at our Positive Action office facility in Whitakers. Our ministry conducts seminars and youth activities and so we have an excellent game room that is equipped with a Wii set-up. Here Jen and Chad try out the virtual tennis courts.
The grand finale for the day was lighting sparklers on our deck (left over from the 4th of July) and that ceremony produced this interesting photo of Kristy and Kirk.
