Dinner at the Carpenter's

Christmas Eve, after we went to church, we went to Matt's parent's house to eat dinner and spend time with them.  The meal was delicious...excellent ham...it tasted so yummy!!!!  We were supposed to have dinner at our house, but both of my brother's changed plans at the last minute.  This has been a difficult year for my side of the family.  Please pray for my brothers (Eric and Kent),  and for me... I have lost a lot of respect and patience for both of them!  Matt and I both have aching hearts..we just wish we could all get along and that the evil would just stop!

We had a wonderful time eating with both sets of Grandparents...Brooke especially loved getting them all to herself!!!  Thank you to both of our parents for being so wonderful and loving.  We love you so much!!!!  

After dinner, we stayed for a bit and celebrated Christmas together with Mom and Dad Carpenter.  We got to open our stockings and  gifts.  A great BIG thank you to them for all the thoughtful gifts. Grandma -The blankets you made for her are especially SPECIAL...she loves to tuck all her dolls and Toy Story figurines in every night!
