Steve's Dad reading the Christmas Story to the whole family on Christmas Eve!One of the greatest blessings of spending Christmas in Tennessee this year is the realization of what a special gift it is for us to have four generations of family together! Steve's maternal grandparents are not in good health and have recently moved from the farm in Middle Tennessee on which they have spent their entire lives (literally - Granny was born in that house!) into an Assisted Living community in Chattanooga near Steve's parents. It has been a hard process, but spending Christmas together just reminds us how special every minute is with them! Our three children and Steve's sister's new baby are very blessed to have their Great Grandparents to share such special moments.
I was exceedingly blessed in this regard as I had some of my Great Grandparents until I was in my teens and twenties! I'm sad that my Grandparents only knew Ashley (and one knew Jack for a year before she passed away). It is a true gift for children to really know those who have come before them and get to spend time with extended family. We are surely fortunate!
Here are some pictures from our holiday!
