The Foulk Fam: And So This is Christmas

This year for Christmas we were thrilled to have Geoffrey, Emily, and Jim come home from Utah. Stephanie and Marc spent Christmas in Chicago with his family, and Janelle, Scott and the boys were in Portland with Scott's family. We missed having the little boys and everyone together, but were thankful that we had all been able to get together in November for the wedding.

Christmas fell on Sunday this year which is always nice. It makes us adjust our day's plan for church which also helps us adjust our thinking toward the Savior as it should be. Our ward choir was a little short of voices so we actually brought the music home and practiced it on Christmas Eve with all of our kids including Geoff, Em, and Evan. They all helped sing the special choir number the next day at church. In addition to that, Megan and Grandma Foulk had speaking assignments. It was a very nice meeting. We had our traditional lasagna dinner on Christmas Eve and acted out the story of Jesus' birth. Sunday morning we checked out the Santa loot and stockings, went to church, and then came home and opened the presents under the tree. As usual, there were way too many things and we were blessed to have all that we could ever need. Then we went to dinner at Grandma Foulk's house and enjoyed spending time there with Tracey's family and the missionaries. We were able to talk to Janelle, Steph, and my parents, too.

I am so thankful for the many blessings we have been given, especially the gift of our Lord, Jesus Christ. Merry Christmas!!!
