So fast.
The blessed day we look forward to all year long goes by so, so fast. This is the craziest time of year for me and my little studio that could. It's always a challenge to get my orders out the door in time to really enjoy the holidays with my family. The first two weeks of December is a blurrrr of fulfilling orders, painting, decorating and online shopping. This year, of course, our December was a little furrier, too...
When I picked Katie up from school, i found him on her dorm room wall. So funny...
She could hardly stand the one hour drive home. She was so excited to meet Abraham!
i cannot put into words the peace and contentment i get from having all 3 of my babies under our roof.
This tree in my studio may or may not have been knocked over a few times by a puppy and his big furry brother...
Our very special stockings...a treasured handmade gift from a special friend and neighbor who is no longer with us.
Jingle, our nutty elf got himself into all kinds of mischief this month...
There was much baking to be done. The kids love dipping the pretzels...
We got 6 inches of snow the day after Christmas and then 6 more last night! That's more than we got all of last winter! The kids are loving it!
We've got so much to be thankful for.
Most of all this...
{Virgin and Child by Giovanni Battista Salvi}
Wishing that we may hold the peace and love and hope that this wondrous Babe brings, all throughout the coming year. Many blessings to you and yours!
We had all three of our kids home too! Two are local (one still lives at home! ACK!)and the third one traveled from South Dakota to AZ. She is active duty military, so extra sweet to hug on her. We had a granddog come to stay for 6 months, so furrier at MY house too! Just a couple dogs different...I have FOUR! S I G H. Never a dull moment...teenagers or dogs! I love your blog! OH! I forgot our BEST news! We are getting a new DIL in Sept. Best present ever (oh..besides the Best Present Ever)
