Glory to God in the Highest!

We had a fantastic weekend and start to all the week's Christmas festivities! Friday we were able to see a few friends and then celebrate my birthday and my sister's graduation later in the evening with my parents. Saturday I helped my mom get a few things around for a family Christmas party she was hosting for dinner. The grocery stores are crazy right now and even worse when you are shopping somewhere you don't normally shop! We had to forego dinner at my parents but for a good reason Saturday night. D had an ultrasound that afternoon so we traveled to see her, S and their girls. She had a great appointment (still on track for a due date of January 14th) and it was wonderful to spend time with them. This is only going to be a quick update as I am off to pack for more fun this week and get ready for a short day at work tomorrow. Merry Christmas everyone!

 And there were shepherds living out in the fields nearby, keeping watch over their flocks at night.  An angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified. But the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid. I bring you good news that will cause great joy for all the people. Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is the Messiah, the Lord. This will be a sign to you: You will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger.” Suddenly a great company of the heavenly host appeared with the angel, praising God and saying, “Glory to God in the highest heaven and on earth peace to those on whom his favor rests.” (Luke 2:8-14).
