Christmas Happenings Part 2


Wouldn't a stroll here be lovely?  Thank you for stopping by my blog today...here is part 2 of our Christmas Happenings here in Reno, Nevada...


Monday morning dawned cloudy with rain.  We had to cancel our plans for ice skating.  My husband and I went to the church in the morning to vacuum and set up the auditorium after the big program.


So we went swimming instead. :)




After swimming, my mom took the kids to our house and the adults went out for sushi.  Yum!




After sushi, we had to get some coffee. :)


Then we went to Scheel's and the outlet mall to do some window shopping and ride the ferris wheel. :)



Then home for a little Elf. :)


Tuesday, my other sister and BIL arrived about 7am.  They were able to get some rest where they were staying before they came over to our house for lunch.  Cream cheese potato soup and BLT's were on the menu for lunch. 

After lunch, we got ready for our big family photos that we had taken at 3pm at the UNR campus.  It was cold but thankfully the rain held off until we were done.

Then we drove to Carson City and had dinner at a Chinese buffet.



Everyone is all looking pretty from pictures! :)



Oh those crazies!



There's the lot of us. :)


Then it was off for coffee and the Polar Express train ride!









It was a lot of fun and a neat memory!

You May Abound In Hope

Today I completed a devotional book by Candace Cameron Bure.  100 Days of Joy and Strength.  I was struggling last night.  Darkness seemed to overwhelm me.  The last day of this devotional gave me exactly the encouragement I needed to go another day. Here are the verses she shared from God's Word. "I wait for the Lord, my whole being waits, and in His word I put my hope."  Psalm 130:5 "We are afflicted in every way, but not crushed; perplexed, but not driven to despair; persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed;"  II Corinthians 4:8-9 "As for me, I watch in hope for the Lord, I wait for God my Savior; my God will hear me.  Do not gloat over me, my enemy!  Though I have fallen, I will rise.  Though I sit in darkness, the Lord will be my light."  Micah 7:7-8 "I remain confident of this; I will see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living.  Wait for the Lord; be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord."...
