Christmas & Open House


(click on image to enlarge)
Christmas Eve was spent as a family at home.  It was a special (unexpected) blessing to have all five of us together.  In keeping with past years, for dinner we enjoyed a Swiss specialty – cheese fondue, followed by a Shirey (weekly) tradition – homemade ice-cream (chocolate, vanilla & mint chocolate chip).

For Christmas Day, we had an open house for anyone at our church who did not have family/friends to spend Christmas with.  Being an International church, many have left family back in their home country (Iran, Japan, Mexico, England, etc.).
It was an enjoyable day of fellowship with our small apartment filled with 20+ friends.
