It's Christmas Time Again

This afternoon there was a knock at the door. It was the UPS man. I love getting packages. What could it be? Everything I had ordered for Christmas had all arrived. To my dismay this package was for the kiddos. It was from Grandma and Grandpa Spratling..."THEIR CHRISTMAS P.J.'S!" Since we weren't able to go to the pajamas, the pajamas came to us. It was Christmas all over again. In unison they opened them and in unison they all said, "They are soooooo soft". Immediately the girls rushed off to put them on, mind you it is 3:05 in the afternoon. They have had them on all evening. Parker waited until after dinner. Thanks Grandma and Grandpa for the Christmas p.j.'s we love getting them every year.

New Beginnings

It's what most Young Women leaders devote their time to in January. Just a few of my giggly young beehives.
Hard to believethat my girls will make beehive #7, #8 and #9 next month.

Ring Out the Old Ring in the New


The last of the surviving Christmas treats. You have served us well. You made our holidays oh so sweet and helped us ring in the New Year helping us keep toasty and warm with all that added insulation. It is time for us to say so long, farewell, Auf Weidersehen good-bye.

Hello to anti-oxidants. We are finishing off our Costco crate of pomegranates. They also served us well through the holiday season. They filled our stockings Christmas Eve and made us feel good that we did something right for our bodies amidst the platters of cookies, the mounds of toffee, the pillars of pretzels and the seemingly endless squares of spice cake. I am so glad we made that Costco purchase and chose to eat healthy this holiday season!?!
