Warm Blanket

This year, Christmas Eve at our house......

...was like....

...being wrapped up in a warm, cozy blanket.
 (Moe's new present from Buttercup)

I felt surrounded....
....(like a present that is all tucked up in it's gift wrap)....

....by the glow of Christmas beauty and joy.....

And it brought me peace.

Happy Birthday, Jesus!

Thank you so much for all the prayers as we experienced a loss through a miscarriage.

We are always grateful for the love of family and friends.

The Night Has Finally Arrived...



....On our way to Christmas Mass....
Have a very Merry Christmas!!

It’s Beginning To Look A lot Like Christmas.....



...as the aroma of sweet cookies filled the air....
...decorated by a bit of "sweetness" herself!

Also, the sounds of the season have been filling the air with beautiful music. Coco loves to turn on this special carousel train that we received as a gift in the mail from Grandpa Wes the year we were married.....

...and it has been set up each year since then and it continues to be the favorite decoration.

Ky had the honors this year of putting the angel on top of our tree....

.....as the final touches were added just last night to make our tree look perfect.
Grandma Jo....this picture is for you!!!

Waiting for Christmas

Our manger scene is set up.

We are anxiously awaiting....

....the day we can put Baby Jesus in the manger.

We will be spending 10 days in South Dakota.
We will celebrate our Christmas with family and friends and then complete the manger scene when we get back home.

"People Look East
And Sing Today;
Love, The Guest, Is On The Way."

Merry Christmas!
