On Sunday afternoon the whole church came over to our house for a Reformation Celebration. The weather was so pretty and some warm spiced cider and cocoa was available once the sun went down. The pictures will explain the activities of the afternoon.
Some enjoyed watching all the excitement going on down at the playing field.

Everyone gathered around to sing.

Josh, Jennifer and Erin stayed a little later that evening to visit and play the traditional game of “Mad Gab” before heading back to Birmingham. They moved up their about two months ago and we miss them so much! We were glad they were able to stay with us this weekend though!
Late night discussions.

Jennifer and Maggie “perform”.
We were sorry Momma and Daddy missed out on the fellowship, but they had taken Eman to the ER. The boys had been playing out on the swing in the front that night, and Eman had fallen off. The scary part was that he didn’t remember anything. He had been brought in and put on Momma and Daddy’s bed, but then kept asking strange questions like “how did I get in here?” and also denied being on a swing. Before they left to get him checked, we gathered everyone around the bed and prayed for him and his shoulder which is what he complained was hurting. In the end, we praise God that his head was fine and there wasn’t anything worse than a broken (in two) collarbone. Eman seems to be doing really well.
