A few thoughts...

“The great thing is, if one can, to stop regarding all the unpleasant things as interruptions in one's "own" or "real" life. The truth is, of course, that what one regards as interruptions are precisely one's life.”

C.S. Lewis

May all of you find joy in this New Year of renewed hope, laughter, humility, and love. If you find yourself having to stretch a little farther, dig a little deeper, or jump a bit higher, you will change.

I give you permission to change...

You're my Brother...


One thing I love about this picture is the complete joy that's in Brenan's face, he picked Blake's name for Christmas. Blake is showing great anticipation....
Brenan see's that Blake approves of his gift, the faces say it all. Mission accomplished not mission impossible...

"Stars were Gleaming"

Amber has no idea she's about to receive a quilt she has had her eye on...
So if you look at her face it is a huge surprize, Mom still has a few tricks up her sleeve.
It's kind of a dirty trick to play on a pregnant daughter. Hence the tears...
The name of the quilt is "Stars were Gleaming" since it's Christmas time and duel meaning with the patriotic theme. I'll have to label it another day...

Cindy-Lou Who

Doesn't Zoe look like Cindy-Lou Who?
She wasn't going for the whole Santa thing though...this is a funny picture how far away she is from him.
Doing the crafts with Uncle Brenan. She thinks she's 12...already!
Too Cute!

The Grinch Stole Christmas

It was a great evening for our Ward. We had roast beast for dinner, enjoyed "The Grinch Stole Christmas" play, visited, exchanged christmas cards, and felt the Christmas spirit. How do you like the Grinch's cave?
This is Who-ville on the stage and the audience. It was absolutely beautiful. It took an army, but was worth every minute.
The children had a magical night interacting with noise-makers booing the Grinch...so fun! The cast and director went all out and totally engaged the audience with their awesome acting skills.
The food committee did an awesome job along with the decorating committee. This will be a night to remember for years to come...
