We had an early Christmas last night so that we could all enjoy it together. This is our tree ... of course, it is pink.
Our simple tho pretty table setting ...
Our table ... I always keep it on the pretty simple side
Geva & Edry on the left are our dil Cat's sibs, Harold, Cat, Mackenzie & our son Emery
Ansel, Alyssa, Tatiana, James ... we adopted Alyssa & James as our kidlings also.
We had our usual game of UNO after dinner with the kid-lings ... TATIANA WON!
Our daughter, Cari (Caroline), Mackenzie & Joshua
Cari, Joshua, Mackenzie, Ashley
Family togetherness ...
Now Tatiana received a makeup set from us. We were unsure of her liking it ... but guess WHO had a blast putting makeup on Mother, herself & Alyssa. These two were precious to watch do the girly-girl stuff ... racing back & forth to the mirrors. Don't you just LOVE these beauties?!! Look out Hollywood.
On our way home from the other night we saw this home & all its lights ... spectacular
Our mantle decor. Pictures are of my Mother's life in the frame (frame from Security State Bank, Chehalis, WA ... gave it to Mother when they closed an office). At one time Mother had we 5 kids pics in it.
I so love all the old pics of her, her parents & life.
The Antietam Illumination that we have done for 24 years ...
My kitchen ...
Keep praying for him, he needs them desperately. This will be a trying week. We so appreciate your love & support ...
I will continue to pray. God Bless you and yours.
