We had a nice time celebrating Christmas starting on Christmas Eve. Almost all of the Hekman/Christensen clan attended Immanuel's Christmas Eve service. It was nice to be with them and also my mom, dad, and grandma. Christmas morning, at our house, we read the Christmas story from Luke 2, sang happy birthday to Jesus (with a candle in a piece of yummy caramel roll) and opened presents. Mike and I had stayed up the night before getting things ready. The rest of the day we spent at Mom and Dad Hekmans' enjoying the food, fun, and gifts. We did a white elephant exchange later that night--first annual. Now we are off to celebrate with my family in the great northwest. Our flying adventure begins tomorrow.
