Jeffrey and Jonathan. Jonathan loved having Jason and Jeffrey here!
After two different meals, we played an ungame sort of game, where we answered a question about each one of us. The first was "So and so is in his/her element when..." and the second one was "So and so is stressed out by ...." These questions were good for understanding each other better.
Beth is reading answers to the questions about her. We tried to guess who had written each statement, but mostly it was about thinking deeply about each other.
Beth and I made pumpkin bread to give out to the neighbors for Christmas. It was fun to visit with them when we passed them out. There were different sizes depending on the number of people in the household.
We've enjoyed a lot of music this season.

We so much enjoyed having most of our family together for Christmas week. Tim and Brenda did not get to come home for Christmas. Jeffrey and Jason left on December 29. Beth started working at Ace on December 29. The Lord has led her to return home to work and save money for the rest of her future college classes. God has been so good to our family.
