The End of Christmas Day

To finish up the day, we headed over to Tim and Rhianna Mills's home to join the rest of our team. We ate pizza, sang carols to Kim (who is still on bedrest) and played Bunko while the younger kids watched 'Kipper.' We did a small gift exchange among the younger kids and here they are pictured, most of them laughing at their uncle Tim.





Calvin, of course, was into everything. He choked on one of those Christmas tree confetti things and Paul had to do the CPR mouth sweep in which it came up. Calvin HAS to put everything in his mouth, unlike his older brother.










Paul is pictured here with our teammate Andrew. (His wife is Becky, the one who gets Calvin cute bibs!)
*One cute little saying from PJ. He calls Becky "miss aunt Becky." We all think it is so cute.








And here is our hostess, Miss Rhianna. I think she was trying to decide if the cups in her hand were clean or dirty...hmmm?

All in all, we had a great Christmas. I forgot to mention our Christmas Eve service as a team. It was a really neat time of sharing, praying and singing carols and we also took Communion. Tim, Andrew, Paul and Dave each took one of the names of Christ in Isaiah 9 (wondeful counselor, mighty God, eternal Father and Prince of Peace). They each spoke for about 5 minutes or so and then we would have a season of prayer and singing. It was really refreshing and a neat time. Thank you for praying for us. We feel very thankful to God to be a part of a team that relies on each other and is striving to grow in grace and becoming more like Christ. That is a lot to be thankful for! Mant teams are not that way. Please continue to pray for God to guard our team against any division.
So, that, in a nutshell, was our Christmas. We hope yours was filled with reflection of what our Christ did for us, coming to earth to die and rise again. What a MIGHTY GOD, WONDERFUL COUNSELOR, ETERNAL FATHER and PRINCE OF PEACE we have.
