Philippians 2:5-11 (NIRV)

"As you deal with one another, you should think and act as Jesus did.
In his very nature he was God. Jesus was equal with God. But Jesus didn’t take advantage of that fact. Instead, he made himself nothing. He did this by taking on the nature of a servant. He was made just like human beings. He appeared as a man. He was humble and obeyed God completely. He did this even though it led to his death. Even worse, he died on a cross!
So God lifted him up to the highest place. God gave him the name that is above every name. When the name of Jesus is spoken, everyone will kneel down to worship him. Everyone in heaven and on earth and under the earth will kneel down to worship him. Everyone’s mouth will say that Jesus Christ is Lord. And God the Father will receive the glory." Philippians 2:5-11 (NIRV)

Christmas with Family and Friends

Family Christmas

This Curran Christmas was a little different than most years. Patrick didn't join us for the Christmas Tree Hunt, which we did in the middle of a beautiful, but cold, snowfall.
This year at Christmas, the Curran Family had an extra person. Patrick's friend from college Nathan joined us for the Holiday.

We had our traditional breakfast of egg bake, coffee cake, and hashbrowns at mom's house.
We opened stockings and gifts at mom's house (with breakfast in between).
We then proceeded to my apartment for games and Christmas dinner, where we were joined by Marisa. For dinner this year, we had:
























Friends Christmas



As usual, Marisa, Theresa, Caytie, and I had dinner and gift opening at Marisa's house for Christmas this year.






























For an appetizer this year, we had Pumpkin Soup, which sounds not so good, but was absolutely fabulous.





Then for dinner we had cranberry chicken, green beans, and rice.

After gift opening and numerous pictures from the paparazzi, we relaxed by the tree and watched the cats bat at the ornaments.






Overall, it was a wonderful Christmas Holiday!
