We were blessed this year to spend ten fun-filled days with Grandma and Grandpa Sarver during the Christmas holiday. Activities included nightly Advent devotions, a trip to Meijer Gardens to enjoy the spectacular Christmas trees, a hike through the woods on Christmas day, three jigsaw puzzles, reading, reading and more reading with Grandma, putting a catapult together with Grandpa, baking bread, Swedish pancakes, cinnamon rolls, a trip to Hickory Corners for a tour of the Gilmore Car Collection. What a wonderful way to celebrate the birth of our Savior! Our family...what a blessing!
