Day 28 * After Christmas Blessings!

Day 28 has been blessed with my beautiful

children!!!! What better blessing is there in this world !?!

Worked hard Thursday and Friday so my sweet husband gave me Saturday off...perfect timing since we had a house full of kids coming!  And come they did.

Tessa, Eric, Halle, Kendyl, Thomas, Kara, Dakota, Malinda, Mike, Dick and Me...what a group!

Great meal...Tessa's idea, everyone helped: A burrito bar including Tres' Leches Cake for dessert.

Fun, Farkle, lots and lots of presents, just ask Halle, lots of memories and best of all Lots of Love...The Best.

Days 26 & 27 - Blessed by Sunshine the Days after Christmas!!

Day 26 & 27 - The sun is shining, the snow is melting and everyone is mellow. I love the first couple days after Christmas. It is a great time to chill, even if I have to go to work. All the hustle and bustle is over and the "after Christmas blues" as Dick would call them, have not set in yet.

I am hoping they (ACB) won't. After keeping track of all my blessing this past 2 months, things look much brighter and I am ready for 2014.

But not for a couple more days......:)

Day 25 - Christmas Day Blessings

Christmas Day 2013

I began my Christmas morning by reading

Luke 2:1-20

the beautiful 

Christmas story.

Then....

So much fun....started out with Dick, Dakota and me in the sunroom with breakfast and Dakota playing Santa - for the 12th or 15th time!

Opened all our gifts...which were all a hit....then we just hung out till noon....I texted all my besties 

"Merry Christmas"...got a lot back and a call

from Moreen...which made me very Happy!

Headed out to Oestmans about 12:30 with my Cranberry salad and chocolates for the grownups and a bag of suckers for Halle and Kendyl.

Day 24 - Thankful for Candlelight and Memories

 

Day 24  - So many blessings on this day. Beautiful morning, great fun friend and helper at the jewelry store - Shelly, and
a beautiful evening at the Methodist Christmas Eve Candlelight Service.

I picked up Sherre at 5:15 and

we met Tessa, Halle

Lori & Kortni at

the Methodist Church.

What a precious beautiful

evening. Halle sat on

my lap, Tessa on

my right side and

Sherre on my left...and

on my heart, memories

of Christmas past,

surrounded by my

sweet Momma and

Daddy with lit candles

and the amazing story

of my precious

Jesus's birth.

After the music and the bible stories and the candlelight

I went home and fed the boys hot soup,

and finished wrapping presents, before

I laid down for
"a long winters nap".

Perfect precious day.

I am blessed.

Day 20 * 21 * 22 * 23 * White Christmas On It's Way!!

Work work work!!!! Sell diamonds, wrap presents, The holiday fun is here...but on Sunday church with my Bestie Sherree, put up more Christmas lights...the kids are coming, and take off for Yuma in the snow for our 2nd Annual Dilyn Design Christmas Party at the China Garden...it was wonderful, and we got back before the snow got too deep.

So glad I got those lights up...they blessed by evening.
