From our family to yours…wishing you a blessed Christmas season!

Some of you I know in “real life” and others I just know through the wonderful world of blogging. But you all touch my life in very real ways. And amongst so many blessings this year- I thank God for each of you.

For your encouraging comments on this blog through the year, for sharing your struggles and life laughs with me on Mom Loop. And for writing blogs that have challenged me- and made me spit out my morning coffee in laughter!!

Thank you! Thank you!!


I showed you our Living Nativity last year– so I am sharing this years above! Our dog was originally slated to play the role of Joseph, but it turned out he wasnt that good at taking direction!

Merry Christmas!

    HAHA! Oh I would have loved to see Strider dressed up as Joseph! 🙂 But I can understand him not taking direction well – our cats would never submit to being dressed up and then having their photo taken – really the only time I can get them is when they’re sleeping 🙂

    Merry (belated) Christmas to you and yours and Happy New Year!!

It shouldn’t have taken this long, but I just we It shouldn’t have taken this long, but I just went bowling for the first time in my life! 🎳

I avoided it at first because it didn’t seem that fun. Then- because I didn’t know how to do it. But, this year I’m challenging myself to try new things. Even if I look like an idiot! Who cares?! 😃

Bottom line, loved bowling. I suck. But it’s fun! Who knew? Well, lots of people. But now me too! Also- it’s helpful to have friends that make you try new things and expand your horizons. Super grateful for mine! ❤️
