Celebrating Jesus' Birth With Hannah Grace
Today we get to celebrate Christmas will Hannah Grace. We are so thankful that Hannah gets to be with us at home for Christmas. We give God all the glory!
Today, Hannah had another blow out! (just recording memories)
Today, After we opened presents with our family we went to grandma's house for the first time with Hannah. We had lunch with grandma and she got to celebrate Christmas with her grandchildren. We are so thankful for Grandma (Rick's mom). She was always so good about buying groceries and bring meals for us. She is such a blessing to our family. She was always wanting to do more for me and the family; but with older children and other helpful friends, I never could think of things for her to do that hadn't already been done when she'd just stop over to help :-(. Grandma helped so much by just helping with groceries and meals. We love you, Grandma!
Today, We all opened gifts. The children all give gifts to each other. Because of this tradition each child will end with 7 gifts and that doesn't include the couple of gifts from mom and dad. It is so neat to see the children be so giving with their gifts and treasures. They all gave Hannah a little gift. Hannah gave each of her siblings a gift too!
Today, In the evening after dinner, Hannah had her 3rd bath. She loves the bath! She will just sit in the water so content just looking around. I love, love, love seeing her in the bath. What a princess she is!
Today, We celebrate our Lord's Birthday. We love you, Jesus so much! I want to share with you the Christmas story.
Luke 2: 1-20 The Christmas Story
1 And it came to pass in those days that a decree went out from Caesar Augustus that all the world should be registered. 2 This census first took place while Quirinius was governing Syria. 3 So all went to be registered, everyone to his own city.
4 Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judea, to the city of David, which is called Bethlehem, because he was of the house and lineage of David, 5 to be registered with Mary, his betrothed wife,[a] who was with child. 6 So it was, that while they were there, the days were completed for her to be delivered. 7 And she brought forth her firstborn Son, and wrapped Him in swaddling cloths, and laid Him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn.
8 Now there were in the same country shepherds living out in the fields, keeping watch over their flock by night. 9 And behold,[b] an angel of the Lord stood before them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were greatly afraid. 10 Then the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid, for behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy which will be to all people. 11 For there is born to you this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord. 12 And this will be the sign to you: You will find a Babe wrapped in swaddling cloths, lying in a manger.”
13 And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God and saying:
14 “ Glory to God in the highest,
And on earth peace, goodwill toward men!” So it was, when the angels had gone away from them into heaven, that the shepherds said to one another, “Let us now go to Bethlehem and see this thing that has come to pass, which the Lord has made known to us.” 16 And they came with haste and found Mary and Joseph, and the Babe lying in a manger. 17 Now when they had seen Him, they made widely[d] known the saying which was told them concerning this Child. 18 And all those who heard it marveled at those things which were told them by the shepherds. 19 But Mary kept all these things and pondered them in her heart. 20 Then the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things that they had heard and seen, as it was told them.
