On Sunday we were running behind, and trying frantically to get ready for church; just then we received a phone call to let us know that church was cancelled because the water lines had frozen. We were so relieved, then sad to miss the services before Christmas, then glad to have some special time as a family. Joseph was set apart to be a member of the High Council at the Stake President's house, then we were invited to join with our good friends in a small gathering for a Sacrament Service. We were so glad that we had this wonderful opportunity, and the spirit was very strong. The novelty of the situation was fun for the kids and they had some giggles, but it was so fantastic to join our voices in song and prayer in this special Sabbath day worship- these opportunities are few, but always memorable!
We also enjoyed the company of the Young's for dinner later in the day, and just had a lovely time visiting and eating yummy food!
What a beautiful time of year to reflect on the Savior's birth, his life and his great sacrifice for all of us! So grateful to have the light of Christ in our lives each day.

Yeah, Martin and I overslept on Sunday and were frantically getting ready for Church around 9:15, then my brother called and said, "There's no church, Taryn" I didn't believe him until my mom said so! I was relieved but missed the Christmas hymns and the children! But, it was lucky to sleep in on day there's no church!
