This is what I got for Christmas. 

Shoes

We went to the Asian Buffet for dinner.  It was great.  Nobody was there.  We just might have a new tradition.  hehehe...

Sonja, very nice shoes.

Ruth Ann, that is wonderful news concerning your son's participation in your family events.  Hope you get rested up tomorrow from your trip.

Nita, glad you found a good home for your pet.

Jane, sorry you had to be alone today, unless that was what you desired. 

Our family left around 5 pm after we had a very nice afternoon of eating and our gift exchange. 

Hi Pat:

Yes Brian and I went to the Travel Lodge for dinner and had turkey as well as other great food.  Now we are looking at pictures from the past.  In a little while we are going to go to Lorraine & Kamyl's for dessert.  But I AM TOO FULL!     Hope you are having a wonderful time with Janice & Phil and the children.   God Bless

Love Ruthie

Well, it has been a great day here. By mid morning they started arriving and by one o’clock when we sat down to eat there were 20 of us and we had a wonderful time. The food was delicious with turkey and dressing with gravy, ham, a special cheese hominy dish, green beans, sweet potatoes, asparagus, cranberry sauce, a frozen salad, a fruit salad, stuffed eggs, hot rolls, and deserts including coconut cake, carrot cake, chocolate cake and red velvet cake.,

Martha and I took 90 pictures and I have uploaded around 80 of them in Webshots. If anyone would care to take a look you can go to      "http://community.webshots.com/user/jpmurphree/0" you can click on the pictures to see them full size.  If you have a phone access it may be slow.

Well, the new year is almost here now.  In just one more week Cornelia and I will finish reading the Bible out loud another year.  Time is going by so slowly for us but time  with God is seen from His prospective. 

2 Pet 3:8  But do not forget this one thing, dear friends: With the Lord a day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like a day.  (NIV)

Wishing everyone the best over the holiday season.  We spent Christmas with 3/4 of the family - oldest son & family were out-of-state with her family.  Lovely music at service last night.  We talked about last year when we were at a service in a barn and it was frigid but a very simple and meaningful time.  This, too, was wonderful with great music and the joy of seeing many families celebrating the true meaning of Christmas.

It's really fun to read about what all of you did today.  We had a wonderful day, too.  By 2:00 everyone was here and we had a real feast.  It is easier for me now that my daughters make and bring food, then no one has the whole load.  About half of the younger ones got involved playing some DVD interactive game about movies, and we finally had to ask them to turn it off so we could exchange gifts! 

We had a good visit will three daughters, son, both my granddaughters, and two grandsons, plus my kids' natural father and his sister, and John.  God has been so good to all of us.  If our youngest daughter had been here, the circle would have been complete.  She says she will come in January.

George has found a new home!  I don't know whether to be sad or happy about that.  He is the last of the puppies our dog Cookie had, and granddaughter Katy fell in love with him and begged and begged her daddy to let her have him.  He finally consented, so George will be going to live in Cheyenne, Wyoming.  We will miss him, he's so cute, and such a character.  But I'm glad he and Katy will have each other to love.

Iain, how great to see you here again.  I hope you know that we miss you when you don't come and visit with us!

I need to get something warmer on, my back is so cold!!  See you later!

Had a great time in Eureka today. lots to eat and lots of gifts for the children. They gave me more make up than I will ever be able to use in my lifetime. LOL And a Max Lucado calendar, I ate a lot and talked little, watched part of the movie elf.

Called Gloria to ask how she like the two prints I gave her, she sounded disappointed..

Well that's allf or tonight, Got to unload the camera again.

merry Christmas everyone. this is John and Beth. weare both having a wonderful time together.We truly believe that God had both of us be born with NF so that we could findone another some day. it is a blessing. God is so wonderful. words can't do enough justice to his mercy and kindness. I (John) got to participate in the family gift exchange. managed to steal away a clock from Beth's mom. and I guess I passed Beth's Brother's test. whatever that was. we just wanted to come in and post andlet everyone know howit is going for us. Merry Christmas to you all.

I wrote a message earlier this evening and now it's vanished into thin air cyberspace.   

I had a good Christmas ... the wind and rain arrived on schedule and made me happy to be inside.  I made the lemon pepper salmon recipe and added some pesto pasta salad and some sugar free jello and light whipped topping (non-dairy) so I indulged a bit myself.  I watched some movies on my new DVD player <gift from my daughter Dot>.

My daughter Joy called and she and Bryan were spending the day together at his home...the other adults are gone for the weekend...and they were going to watch movies and just enjoy being together.

I called my brother, in Phoenix, and had a nice conversation with hiim for the first time in a long time.

All in all, it was a very pleasant day and I'm trusting everyone else were just as blessed.

It's time to lock the door.  I'll chat with you all tomorrow.
