Our Tricky Christmas



After church we got the chicken and vegies into the oven. Because Christmas without family can be 'tricky' we called it that for this year. Our only family member who could come was Dan. For Joy, Craig and Abigail, it was also 'tricky' so we agreed to share our Christmas lunch time. And it was a super time of good food, fun and fellowship.


Abigail is growing up and fun to be with. Earlier in the day, Joy and Craig had given Abigail a model farm animal set complete with a good amount of fencing. This set she brought with her to play with and show us. The people pictures show Barb and Abigail in one and Craig and Abigail in the other.

Later Peter and Abigail played a game together that just involved one checkers piece. This checkers piece was tossed back and forward between them, and occasionally got lost into the Christmas tree or behind the couch much to Abigail's delight and interest. After it was retrieved the game continued. It went for a long time. It was amazing that a game with one checker piece could be so entertaining for so long. Peter made a few attempts to finish but Abigail would have none of that.

This is just a window into a day that had many other experiences.
