Greetings from Louisville on Christmas Eve......we arrived about 4:00PM after a 7+ hour trip from Atlanta. All went very well and we are looking forward to Christmas morning. It is cold, but I have not seen any snow yet.
Our time with the "other" Cleland's was wonderful. We spent yesterday afternoon talking and enjoying a warm, crackling fire. Their house was decorated beautifully, there was hot cider on the stove, and goodies to nibble on.
Last night we all dressed up and went to the candlelight service at their church. It was elegant and beautiful............Robbie is a wonderful pastor and speaker and his messages are always so well done. Of course, to hear Mary Ann play the lovely Christmas music on the piano is a joy in itself.
After the service we went out to dine in an elegant restaurant and returned home to open our presents. This morning Mary Ann made homemade waffles for our breakfast and Robbie made an early morning fire.
I say all of this to say, thank you for sharing your gift of hospitality with us. It is truly a joy to be in your home.
Now we have to play "Santa." Our goal is to thrill but not overwhelm
Mark and Amanda's main goal is to teach them about God's "indescribable gift," Jesus Christ.
We'll be up early I'm sure!
Merry Christmas with love...Cathy
