It's the most wonderful time of the year!

We are enjoying this most blessed time of year. We are really taking time to focus on relationships this year. Rich and I really want to teach our children that people matter.

We have enjoyed Christmas shopping with our friends and their children, baking and delivering goodies to neighbors and other folks in our lives, planning special outings with cousins, building gingerbread houses with good friends, wrapping and hiding treasures bought for siblings and parents, watching sweet and funny Christmas movies as a family, reading special books about the birth of Jesus to the little friends in our circle of influence. We are enjoying spending time in the homes of others and vice versa this holiday season. 

Having wonderful  friends and family to spend the holidays with makes it so much more special, with many wonderful memories to treasure.

Happy HOLY days:)

I just wanted to tell you how much I enjoyed the caroling and the kids and all of you coming to make my Christmas so much brighter. You all just warmed my heart and I know Charlotte and Ralph and her mom were thrilled to have you all come over. Thank you all so much.
