This Christmas season has been another year of managing to celebrate the wondrous gift of Christ to the world in spite of various family members being ill, including myself. I could go on and on about how down I felt, not being able to play hostess adequately on Tuesday for our West End celebration, or decorate the house the way I would like to, or-or-or… but in the end none of that mattered anyway. All that mattered is that for a few precious hours, I had my whole family, including grand-baby and bonus fam, under my roof, and blessings and joy flowed freely.
I ended up going to Urgent Care first thing Christmas morning, and let’s all make sure to thank the medical teams that tirelessly work through holidays to help us when we’re sick! I certainly was grateful for their help that day!
As soon as I got home we jumped in the van and made our way to Grandma’s house for the annual Heidmann Christmas. More blessings, more joy. My few pictures here I have edited to reflect the feelings of warmth and love I hold as I treasure these memories.
