Christmas 05

Christmas came and went. Keith's family and Brian came over for Christmas Eve. I cooked and actually made fudge for the first time in almost twenty years. Twas good, but I have gained a pound and need to work it off--along with sixty more! They arrived around three, we ate, cleaned up, and then opened presents. Jacob fell asleep so Brian volunteered to stay with him while the rest of us attended church. He worried that I'd be mad since I insist that the entire family go to services together, but I told him that I raised him the way I wanted and now he has to follow through on his own. None of my kids go to church, but I believe that they all have a faith they just don't know it yet. Beth and her family called from Tallahassee where they were visiting Mike's family. She said that they didn't attend services at all. She had a trying experience flying in that small commuter plain from Houston to Tallahassee. Also her bags didn't arrive for three whole days. Always something...
