The rest of Christmas was wonderful, wonderful!
Brunch at our dear friend's home with our three families mingling and loving on each other big time. The food, the laughter, the gifts, the games, the hugs and happy smiles.
So much good. Friendship and God and the hope that brings.
Little foretastes of glory divine.
Our family celebrated over turkey on Boxing Day and my favorite part was watching the hilarity of the dogs chasing frantically after a crowing stuffed chicken. Their nails clawing cartoon fashion on the floor trying desperately to get a grip on the slippery surface so they could be the first to grab that chicken and run. I've never seen them fight over anything like this chicken - it drives Ladybug right over the edge. She sits quivering and crying, then begins leaping and barking as I hold the google eyed bird over her head. The family laughed so hard and it was good.
It was so good. Being together. Family.
And the next morning I rose early to pick up my young friend and we began about a 17 hour journey to Kansas City. A beautiful drive through the snow covered mountains, two plane rides, a delay in Denver and a shuttle bus brought us to our hotel here in downtown KC at about 2:00 a.m.
Now we are off to see the city before our conference begins.
