Journaling reads: We originally had our gathering scheduled for the weekend of Jan. 10 but the weather turned snowy for everyone. Unfortunately, we had to cancel which meant Nathanael would not be able to join us on the reschedule date of January 31 - Feb. 2nd. Michael and Jessica and Jennifer got in early Friday, so Jen brought Ilene with her as we met at Ruby Tuesday. Elisabeth and family had something going on and couldn’t join us.
Mark led the prayer for lunch on Saturday. There were 18 of us. If Sue, Nat, Sam, and Addy had been able to come, there would have been 22. When we get together, we always play games, inside and out. Dirty Santa is probably everyone’s favorite activity.
Ryan’s girlfriend, Alayna, and her brother, Jamil, have joined several of our family gatherings as Jamil and Chance have become friends. The boys are always up to something crazy!
As usual, we ended the weekend by attending church together. I didn’t get any pictures on Sunday before everyone left. It was another great weekend, even though we missed Nat and family. We actually had decent weather all weekend, too! Thank You, Lord!
