Christmas Day With Our Family

Part 1

Saturday, December 25

Nathaniel, Cerwin, Abigail, Diane, Elizabeth, Mark, Lydia

The eight Myers arrived from Maine on Christmas Eve. Mark, Diane, Josiah, Hezekiah, and Lydia arrived about 4:00 p.m.

Elizabeth, Hannah, and Abby got here about 1:30 a.m. Christmas morning. Nathaniel lives about a mile and a half away and came on Christmas morning to take Abby to a Christmas brunch for his family.

Elizabeth had a photo book sent here, and was anxious to see the pictures of her mission trip to Thailand, China, and Vietnam.

Our driveway signified that we had visitors on Christmas morning.

It was a fun challenge to find places for this crew to sleep, and keep the garage open for a Christmas party of forty-four people on Christmas night.

Mark & Diane have the guest room. We put four air mattresses in our basement office for the girls (Elizabeth, Hannah, Abby, and Lydia). They have quite a nice suite down there. Hezekiah and Josiah are sleeping on air mattresses in the living room. They like having HD TV in their bedroom. The only room of the house that isn’t being used for the next eight days is Cerwin’s workshop in the basement.
