A Little Christmasy....

The Great Hunt

Our family likes to have a

live Christmas tree!

We've been going to the same place almost

every year for over 25 years!

I can remember pulling Bri in a

sled when she was only 1 when we went there!

This year though it was nice and warm out

We took our time finding just the right one

Along the way we saw this little tiny nest--we think it was 

something small like a hummingbird.

I wonder why it abandoned it's nest?

We use Brad as a measuring stick for height! lol

Looks like this might be a contender

The guys carry it back to get it shaken

and wrapped...

I guess it's a Wrap! lol

Thanksgiving Blessings

We had a Happy Thanksgiving, I hope that you did too!

We have so much to be thankful for, I'm glad there

is a day set aside especially for us to thank God

for His goodness to us!

Here is the organic turkey we buy from a farm all

ready to go into the oven

So happy and thankful that we had

a house full of people this year!

 That I may publish with the voice of thanksgiving,

 and tell of all thy wondrous works.  Psalm 26:7

Let us come before his presence with thanksgiving, 

and make a joyful noise unto him with psalms. Psalm 95:2

Unexpected Vacation

Our family had the blessing of a last minute unexpected vacation to

Ocean City Maryland last week.

During it we celebrated my birthday, and Phil and I's 27th anniversary!

Here are some pics from our lovely time away...

God blessed us with a nice time away--I

really needed it!

And, this is my FAVORITE time of year to go!
