Maegan & I cooking goodies for her Christmas party at Rhonda's.


She wanted to pick the chocolate chips out

M&Ms are a must with Maegan!



Making a silly face at Wayland

Her job was to sprinkle the pretzels

Sprinkle crazy!! We laughed so hard at her concentrating on shaking the bottle. Some had more than others. (the one in the middle) They were yummy!

On our first Christmas without my sister Melinda, my friend sent me this poem.

I see the countless Christmas trees, around the world below,
With tiny lights, like heaven’s stars, reflecting on the snow.
This sight is so spectacular, please wipe away that tear,
For I am spending Christmas, with Jesus Christ this year.
I hear the many Christmas songs, that people hold so dear,
But the sound of music can’t compare
with the Christmas choir up here.
For I have no words to tell you, the joy their voices bring,
For it’s beyond description to hear an angel sing.
I know how much you miss me,
I see the pain inside your heart,
But I am not so far away, we are really not apart. So be happy for me, dear ones, you know I hold you dear,
And be glad I’m spending Christmas,
with Jesus Christ this year.
I send you each a special gift,
from my heavenly home above,
I send you each a memory, of my undying love.
For after all “Love” is the gift, more precious than pure gold,
It was always most important, in the stories Jesus told.
So please love and help each other, as my Father said to do,
For I cannot count the blessings, or the love He has for you.
So have a Merry Christmas, and wipe away that tear,
For I am spending Christmas, with Jesus Christ this year.
I can’t tell you of the splendor,
or the peace here in this place,
Can you imagine Christmas, with our Savior, face to face?
I’ll ask Him to lift your spirit, as I tell Him of your love,
So then pray for one another, as you lift your eyes above.
So please let your hearts be joyful, and let your spirits sing,
For I am spending Christmas in heaven,
and I’m walking with the King!

What fun pictures with Santa. Love that age when they aren't afraid!
I know it's a tough time this year for you and your family. Sending many hugs and prayers your way.
