Joy of Christmas

Well Christmas is upon the Gilbert clan. We started with Michele's brother and his wife along with her parents coming down to our house to celebrate Christmas. As always my wife prepared a wonderful spread of treats and eats and we had an enjoyable time of food, fellowship and fun. The days events started at noon with finger foods which soon translated into gift exchanges and finally ended with desserts and coffee. While our time was short it was still fun and memories were definately made. Everyone seemed to be very excited about their gifts. Michele got the cookbooks she has been wanting, Alexis got the Nintendo DS she has been dying to get, Micah got a battery powered 4-wheeler, I received NCAA basketball 2009 for my XBOX 360 and the list goes on and on. This is only a pre-cursor for what will transpire as we load up our cars and make the 6 hour drive to the Stone Haven in Alma home of my parents, sister and niece. Blessings to all and most importantly, Happy Birthday JESUS!
