Armstrong's Christmas Open House

Our first Christmas in Yuma!

We took our Christmas Card picture before we headed out to school & jobs one morning, and as small towns go I had at least two people tell me they saw us taking the picture that morning!

However our Church family and the town in general have been super welcoming, and supportive of Harold in his role, of the boys as individuals, and of Megan as her own person! In fact many times Megan has been introduced only as Megan Armstrong...and then they ask if she was recently married to one of the "Armstrong boy's"(large family of Armstrong's in town). To cut down on confusion, Megan has since started introducing herself as "Megan Armstrong, wife of Pastor Harold at the Presbyterian Church"!

Here is Josiah and Silas helping making goodies for the open house. Josiah is still proudly wearing his Steelers gear even though we are deep in Bronco country!

Megan as usual made a bagillion cookies, and we increased our turkey count this year for the party from two to three! Here is a picture of one the beauties! And old trusty turkey fryer luckily didn't get lost in the move.





Here are some pictures of our open house spread! We had more room to work with! We missed seeing you all, but we did have a familiar face! Matt Gearke joined us from Denver! We wish you all the best this Advent season as we prepare for the Hope of Christmas Day!

The spread looks AMAZING! I know that all of your guests must have had a great time. I really wish I could be there and I miss you all.

The boys are growing so fast!

Love you all!

Not much else to add to Jen's comment other than "ditto" and sigh...
