Christmas With The Greene's

 On Monday, we had our traditional Greene Family day after Christmas dinner. I LOVE this dinner, and it is always so much fun to all be together. Mark, and his girlfriend Rachel, were here from Texas and Johnny, Emily and sweet Graham had driven in from Nashville that morning. The one thing all of us look forward to is our annual Christmas dinner singing! Yes, you read that right...singing. Shaun was even given the honor to lead off our big finisher Jingle Bell Rock. He had been practicing, so he did a pretty good job.


 Johnny gave the toast this year, and I think he summed us up pretty well- what we have is special. Growing up I just thought that our family was normal, but as I got older I realized that it was far from it. And I am so grateful for that.


Emily, Mark and Johnny decided to surprise us w/ some tacky Christmas sweaters

it may look like Lillian is about to hit John Whitten with the recorder, but she didn't....

we spent the whole next day cuddling and recovering from our Christmas weekend...

and there was a little playing too. 

Bless the Lord, O my soul: and all that is within me, bless His holy name.
