Our day spent on Saturday was filled with tradition! We were with the Lapp Family at Mom Lapps. We were to arrive for 11:30 lunch. Things changed up right away when Linda texted and asked what time lunch was? Then she said they were going to be late but that was OK because then Rosie texted and said that she ran out of gas on the way to Moms. She was waiting for help to come. And that was OK because then Matt texted and said the ham that he was smoking on the grill wasn't ready yet!!! No joke!!! The rest of us were waiting at Mom's and getting hungry!!! :)
We sat down to eat around 12:30 and the food all tasted great and everyone did eventually arrive safe and sound! Mom always has the table set up so nice!
The kids were all thrilled with their gifts. Uncle Ritchie gave them all a gift and Mom's gifts to them were so thoughtful and neat!!!
Hadassah is being gifted a beach chair!!!
We sang carols and happy birthday to Sophia. We ate lots of foods and then snacks and drank red punch and coffee with cream. The day was another fun Christmas spent with the Lapps. We did miss Dad Lapp so much, it's just not the same. Ever. Without him. But we made it through and we are blessed to still have a family to celebrate the birth of Christ with!!!
Our lives were forever changed when Dad Lapp passed but time moves on and this poem Mom Lapp wrote is so precious!
Merry Christmas to the Lapp Family!
