Happy New Year!

Christmas was very special for me this year.

I'm going to show and explain,

the BEST present I received.

Trey and I,

 our grandson in Seattle. 

write back and forth to each other.

This way he can practice his penmanship 

and I can have his thoughts.

I sent him a list of things that I love.

He sent back his list, next to my list.

He asked that I read his list 

out loud on Marco Polo.

(video texting),

Here I am opening the letter from Trey.

Mind you, this is a video,

so theses pictures are blurry.

This is part of his letter...

Then I come to the last page and start reading...

(and crying)

I looked up at Tom, still filming, and words couldn't

come out!

Trey's last item on his long list was,

that they are expecting!

Below are pictures take from a video, also.

Kimmy had her kids sit down, while they

 watched the video of me reading Trey's list. 

When they heard Todd and Steph were excepting, 

Ila kept jumping up and down

Lulu had a huge smile on her face.

Levi was clapping and yelling.

Silas jump out of his seat and shouted.

Isaac just kept jumping up and down.

(I don't think he understood but everyone else was jumping so, it was a good excuse to jump on the couch)

Their reaction was so sweet.
They are so happy to be having another cousin!

Todd and Stephanie are expecting a 

BABY!

If anyone is keeping count of how many
grandchildren we have,
this will be #9!

"Rejoice with those who rejoice; morn with those who morn."

Romans 12:15

Merry Christmas
and
Peace on Earth!

Celebrating the birth of our King!

Saying Thank YOU!

Saying, 

Thank You,

 to all our delivery guys!

This year we have used home delivery a lot.

From vitamins, books, lights, gifts and clothes!

The list goes on!

How about you, do you shop online?

What's Been Going On...

⛄  First Snow Fall  ⛄

Didn't stay for very long,

😊

🔺🔻🔺🔻🔺🔻

Our friends are starting a new coffee business,

 in this

English Double Decker Bus,

that they had shipped over, all the way from
England

Long hours of working hard, to get it ready,

because it's big debut, a night time

PARADE!!

 And Tom and I were invited to help

walk along the side of the bus.

Glow sticks were made into 

big hoop earrings.

The bus was all decked out with lights everywhere!

We walked in front, along the sides of the bus, 

looking for any children that might dashing out in front.

🌲

We got our tree up!
It's called a Pencil Tree.
Great for small places, like ours.

But first it had to arrive on our front porch.

Then we needed to fluff it out, branch by branch,
add lights and a few ornaments.

Then came the packages.

Ready!!

Birthday time!

Kimmy had us over for dinner.

I was blessed with so much love!

Kimmy even hacked into my blog account and 

did a surprise blog post!

Birthday flowers.

Happy Birthday Mother!

This is Kimmy posting.....my mom has no idea I’m doing this. That’s what happens when you’re so close and you share everything like passwords to your blog. 😁

Today is Chris’s birthday! 

She is a blessing to us all! I love her and thank God for the godly woman she is. She’s the one who shared Jesus with me when I was a little girl. She’s also an amazing grandma who prays continually for each of her grandchildren. 

Happy Birthday Mother!
