Christmas Eve

Merry Christmas to all our friends and family!

 

I don't have a fresh family photo, but this one from the Capernaum Christmas program on Saturday seems festive. "Mary and Joseph" handed out presents at the end and posed for photos with the kids and their parents.

We have enjoyed the run up to Christmas this year, although by yesterday I was so tired that I pretty much just sat around all day. Now I'm ready to go again.

Last week we had:

  • Wednesday: big music school Christmas concert (Bogdan at 46 minutes) and Bible study at our house
  • Thursday: Bogdan and friends (the older Sunday school class) shopped and packed presents for kids in Kherson region; birthday party for Young Life leader; prep for Capernaum Christmas program
  • Friday: small concert at music school
  • Saturday: Capernaum! (This should have its own blog post from me later on.)
  • Sunday: visiting puppet team for the Sunday school (I put a lot into planning and organizing this); Christmas lunch for Young Life leaders; baby shower

Now the snow is falling hard, and it looks like we'll have a white Christmas. Most of the big events are done. We just need to cook and prepare a little more and then we'll celebrate. 


(Unfortunately Capernaum has lost access to their Instagram account, but hopefully that will be fixed or there will be a new one soon.)
