Kristen sharing the Christmas Story

Kristen's Christmas program was on December 2. I just love the Christmas programs kids do. You never know for sure what they are going to do or say! Their program was called "Mystery at the Manger". It was the first time Kristen sang a solo and she also was in the nativity scene. She had about 3 costume changes and she did a great job.


I love how God's gift is so easy to understand and how children can simply tell the Good News and melt all of our hearts.

Lots to be thankful for!

Uncle Mel and Mom working together making Aunt Joyce's famous "slushie"! Yum!

The kids table! :-) Just kidding!

Sorry it's been awhile since I posted anything! Our internet was down right after Thanksgiving for about a week and a half. We had a great Thanksgiving. Mom and Dad and our family went to Uncle Mel and Aunt Joyce's home. Which looks fabulous! They have a brand new kitchen and it is beautiful and spacious! After we enjoyed a great dinner, us ladies were all in the kitchen TOGETHER cleaning up and singing worship songs praising our God for who He is and all He does. What a great God and memory.

Ring those bells Harmony

Thanks girls! I loved the cake!

We had such a great time we were invited up to Leanne and Lyles home for the weekend. So of course we had to do a little Christmas shopping while we were in Traverse City. That was fun. Leanne and the girls made my birthday(37) very special by making me my favorite carrot cake. Harmony was really in the spirit with her antlers on. Manda wasn't to happy to get her picture taken again, oh well! Kristen was just to busy having fun with her cousins sledding. She loves to play outside! The snow was beautiful!
To finish off such a great Thanksgiving Weekend we dinner with Mom and Dad Sunday afternoon, and guess what? Mom made me another carrot cake. Thanks mom! I enjoyed everything and I thank God for the blessings He has given me!
