Christmas Eve day we headed to my hometown church in the morning to see our church family. It was great to see all of those wonderful, familiar faces, but there were a few faces that took me a minute to recognize. The main reason: the last time I interacted with them was when I was babysitting them. Now most of them are in high school on the verge of graduating. For others I can recall the day they were born or remember changing their diaper and now they are in grade school.
Prime example. The Budde kids, Alyssa and Aaron (pictured here with Hilary and Mark). Hilary and I were at the hospital the day Alyssa was born. She is now in the 4th grade.
Christmas Eve service was no different. I saw many others that I didn't see in the morning. Extended family members that are my age and are now married and have children. So that whole experience made me feel old, but all the warm hugs made the experience well worth it.
