Christmas with the Greggs

Oh, this year was extra special during Christmas time for so many reasons!

My brother, SIL, and nephew and niece, whom we see once a year, if we’re lucky, got to spend Christmas with us!

(grandparents: Grandma and Grandpa Gregg)

 

My dad’s parents, my dad’s aunt, and my mom’s mom, and my mom’s brother also came to celebrate Christmas.

It was so much fun, crazy, chaotic, busy, loud, and full of fun!

Lots of eating, drinking coffee, snacking, snoring, talking, and playing went on.

Just a warning, a million pictures are about to overload this blog post!

my Grandpa made this horse with his hands and I am sooooo proud of this gift he gave to the boys

It is a gift that we will have for a looooooooooong time

It’s beautiful and means so much to me!

very special gift

plaque

He even made a plaque for the boys to remember him!

I love the verse he chose for it, “Some trust in chariots  and some in horses, but we trust in the name of the Lord our God.”

Psalm 20:7

I only cried a few times that day, watching my boys ride on their horsey.

Anyway
