Dad and Mom C made the trek from snow NY state to AZ to celebrate Christmas. It was the first time I have been with my parents for Christmas since I moved to AZ, and the first time my hubby has ever celebrated with them.
They flew in on Christmas Eve - just in time to enjoy dinner and the Christmas Eve service at our church. It was so fun to have them here. Then, we spent Christmas day together. We started by enjoying a delicious breakfast - cherry crepes and cinnamon rolls (a tradition from my childhood). Then, my wonderful husband read the Christmas Story from scripture (Luke 2)
We hosted Christmas dinner for both sets of parents and my husbands best friend. It was the first big holiday meal that I have planned and prepared and I must say that it was a huge success. Everything turned out simply delicious and the time of fellowship was such a blessing.
My parents had to go home yesterday, and I already miss them. I'm so grateful, though, for the special Christmas we had this year!
