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!


Awwww, so cute. What a good “Joseph” stand in. Merry Christmas to you and your family. May you have a blessed holiday!

Hi! I’m stopping over from Mom Loop. I love the Living Nativity! How sweet. Dogs are terrible 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!!
I read this before and thought I commented but I guess I didn’t! so I’m commenting late! Merry Christmas to you too Shan and Michael and Molly and Mr. strider puppy!!!! and Happy New Year to you guys!! and I’m so thankful to have such an awesome friend as you Shan, in blogworld and in life outside of it! If you hadn’t started blogging and reminding me all the time to blog, I don’t know that I would be blogging now, but I do know that I’d be missing so much! so thank you!!! love you!!
