12 Voices of Christmas Evening

This was posted on December 30, 2015 by Sarah Maxwell.

Last week, we went on a special 12 Voices of Christmas outing. It worked out for Christopher and Joseph’s families to join us, along with GiGi. We first ate dinner and then went to Union Station in downtown Kansas City and walked around. They have a neat mini train display right now. We listened to the 12 Voices of Christmas when we were driving. It was a wonderful way to spend the evening!

The little ones loved the trains, including Calia.

“And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us,
(and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten
of the Father,) full of grace and truth.”
John 1:14

A Snow Walk

Joshua, Liddy, and Ruthie enjoyed a wagon ride in the snow. The sled runners help the wagon to glide over the snow (well, at least if you keep moving they do!).

and the heart of the children to their fathers …”

It’s here. Officially. That amazing white stuff called snow.

“For he saith to the snow, Be thou on the earth;
likewise to the small rain,
and to the great rain of his strength.”
Job 37:6

Maxwell Carolers | “I’m Going to Have to Get a Bigger Porch!”

This was posted on December 28, 2015 by Sarah Maxwell.

“I’m going to have to get a bigger porch!” Yes, that was one of the exclamations we heard when our group of 21 showed up. One person even said, “You’ve got new singers!” It’s true. Our group grew again this year.

We caroled Sunday the 20th, and although we would have loved snow, the mild temperatures made for less bundling and the ability to keep the littles extra warm.

We had a great time sharing Christmas joy with our neighbors. In all, we clocked about 2.4 miles and around 30 homes.

I’ll share about the caroling party we had one week later.

Joseph played the guitar to accompany, and wow, was it amazing!

I've sure most are aware of "lazy lights": the new laser Christmas lights. The girls posed for a picture for me. — I’ve sure most are aware of “lazy lights”: the new laser Christmas lights. The girls posed for a picture for me.

Fresh Baked Cinnamon Rolls

This was posted on December 24, 2015 by Sarah Maxwell.

We wanted to give something that would be really special to our elderly friends for Christmas. We know the ladies don’t do much in the kitchen anymore, so Anna and Mary decided to make cinnamon rolls. Saturday evening, the girls began the process, staying up late to allow the rolls time to rise. Then, the next morning, they baked them, and with Mom’s help, they were a great team finishing the process.

Sunday, after church, Anna, Mary, Abby, Betsy, and Tina handed out the rolls. Wow! Our friends were delighted!

Love,
Sarah

Mary pre-tied the bows so Sunday morning would go easier.

“Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure,
pressed down, and shaken together, and running over,
shall men give into your bosom. For with the same
measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again.”
Luke 6:38
