Promises Kept - Christmas Part 2

Christmas day we traveled down south to spend time with family. We got to see Kip & Mandy's new house and what a blessing to see them enjoy their home.

Kyranda shows off her new room - the play room is next door!

Promises Kept - Christmas 2009

Christmas Eve was spent with a romantic dinner at Jake's Steakhouse followed by a special service at church to celebrate the true meaning of this advent season. We got to sing carols and it had an uplifting and reflective tone. The 'theme' of the meditation was "Promises Kept" as Christmas is the ultimate promise kept by God to us. I also thought it a wonderful hope for the coming 2010...and I think I will adopt it as my motto for the upcoming year :)

A Pre-Christmas Dusting

We got some snow last night! Not too much and it was already slushy when I took this picture on my way into work this morning -- but doesn't it just put you in the Christmas spirit!!!

And here is a new holiday decoration -- since we don't have a fireplace mantle - this was my purchase this year - it just came today finally so we made it just in time for Santa to come.

Blurb

Well, I just got my new Blurb 'blog-to-book' album in the mail --- and how fun to see my 2007 blogs turned into a hardcopy keepsake. I am very pleased with how it's turned out and software was free and easy and fun! to use -- here's a link:

I'll bring the book for the holidays so people can see -- very fun! :)
