My dad's side of the family got together for Christmas, and it was such a blessing to see everyone together. My Aunt Faye does an incredible job of pulling it all together. My favorite part is when they start to tell stories about their childhood - my dad is the second oldest of six kids. Pictured below is his only sister - Aunt Loretta - and one of my uncles - my uncle Larry.

Another blessing about going back to the States was getting to see my granddad. When my grandma passed away last October, it was so hard to be away. It was so good to see him and to just give him a hug. God is so good.
