Friday- Sneak Peek

"Instead of seeking control, we can recognize God's handiwork in every moment, at each stage of life, whether it's painful or pleasurable, easy or difficult, frustrating or satisfying. Though we can't view the entire picture yet, we can rest in the assurance that the Lord faithfully loves us and is tenderly working for our good even in the tiniest of details. The sovereign Painter is creating a priceless masterpiece. We can trust Him to complete his object perfectly."

My oldest daughter being an elf on Christmas Eve !

Creating cookies together..... YUM!

everyone needs a break to watch the

Nutcracker music box play.

I made a few simple wreaths.

knit some gifts.....

both my yellow no purl monkey socks are in the mail headed to Germany.

Made watercolor messes.

Got a year old project done and hung at my sons apartment.

Decorating the tree counted as art right?!

Christmas Eve service........

Our church had a "family service" this year-

As the pastor read the Christmas Nativity story.....

The children were to dress up as their favorite characters.

There were Josephs, Marys, angels, a star, shepherds, sheep......

I shed tears...... The adorable Joseph up front in the wheelchair,

the children that were so kind during VBS...... remembering us.

my little angel......

I spent a whole afternoon creating wings.

(my thumb has just healed from the hot glue burns and wire cuts)

(I wish Id remembered to have her take her glasses off for a photo or two- cant wait till this afternoons optical appt and ordering her new contacts! say a little prayer for todays appt. Hoping the prescription is wrong and the reason she keeps digging her thumb in her eye, she didnt do it when wearing the contacts with the old prescription in them)

Son was able to play the Christmas Holiday.

see the glitter........

Sisters

sorry this one is blurry........ she saw the camera.( frown.)

We traveled to N Ga to spend time with family,

Fried two turkeys - one for Christmas and the other for New Years.

Made HUGE messes..... But we had fun and enjoyed being together.
