The Kehoe Family Christmas, 2009

Merry Christmas from the Kehoe Family!  Christmas is an exciting time around the Kehoe house and just as Santa and his sleigh came trough Central Missouri – so did the frigid temperatures. But first, our family beamed with joy as we attended Christmas Mass Service and watched our two youngest, Maggie & Claire sing in the choir - Maggie even sang a solo - Away in the Manger. They both did great!  But I know not everyone has been able to enjoy all that the season offers.  Some have lost jobs, or are unable to be with family and friends, or even worse, have lost someone they love.  It is for this reason, that Christmas can be a difficult time for some.  I am thankful that I have so many great memories to draw on and look forward to creating some new ones this year as well.  I enjoy taking some time during Christmas to reflect on Christ’s amazing and humble birth.  It is good to know that we have a God that took matters into His own hands and walks with us through whatever circumstances we face.  I also think it is important for all of us to acknowledge the men and women serving in the military who are not only sacrificing time with family, but are willing to pay the ultimate price so we can all enjoy the freedoms this great country has to offer.  Please keep all of them in your prayers.  Claudia and I would like to wish you and your families a blessed and Merry Christmas.
