Happy Birthday and Merry Christmas !

We spent Monday night sharing a Family Home Evening, Birthday for Greg and NataLee, and Early Christmas party in Maine. 

Our family has a tradition of matching pajamas. Since we spend ALOT of time in Boston , we chose Red Sox pajamas. We hope the Claridges will  still be our friends. 

This is one beautiful family. The children were pretty excited to get early Christmas presents. What a fun night.

Always love this gorgeous hunk!

I love the fact we live so close to this great couple!

Greg told the REAL story of Christmas, as told in St. Luke.

RyLee sang "Breath of Heaven". She is amazingly talented and brought tears

to my eyes! I love being with my girls!

AND boys!!

Happy Birthday NataLee on the 11th and Greg on the 7th! You bring such joy to my life!!!

Thanksgiving- I am so Grateful ...

This year I am grateful for the simple things in my life. A wonderful husband, great family, friends. I am also grateful for hard work and a roof over my head. I am grateful to the people who helped us be here in beautiful New England.

The power was out in parts of Maine and New Hampshire, due to the magnificent snow storm. NataLee, Greg, and family joined by the Merryman family came for Thanksgiving. I was joyful to have family with me. I love them so much!

NataLee is a beautiful pie maker. This is a coconut cream pie. Yum!

She also made Lionhouse rolls. They were divine! Light and fluffy, they reminded me of Uncle Richard's rolls.

For breakfast we everyone made their turkey cinnamon rolls. Camden was pretty

excited about his creation! I feel humbled and so blessed by a kind and wise Heavenly Father, who loves each one of us individually and personally. I give my utmost thanks!
