More Cards ...

I was reminded of some more awesome Christmas cards as I was working in the kitchen this morning. They are so exciting and they make me so happy, so I thought today deserved two Grateful Heart posts.
These awesome cards come from Tawny, Brayden, and Auger, and we can feel the love that they were made and sent with. Here is a big THANK YOU! to our sweet grandchildren! We Love You!

Christmas Cards

I am so thankful for Christmas Cards!
I love to see the family photos and read the newsletters, and I love the thoughtful words of love and kindness as friends and family wish us a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. (I must admit - I look at the photos and cards as soon as we receive them, but I often wait to read the newsletters after Christmas when I have more time - but I do love reading them!)
I have enjoyed sending them too, but for the last couple years I've not included a photo. That disappoints me, and I hope to change my ways in the coming years.
It took me a while to get them sent this year, but we got most of them sent yesterday ... I still have a few that I'm working on ... trying to get the correct address.
Even though we send no photo, we do send our love!
We Wish You A Very Merry Christmas!

and
Thank You!
for your sweet wishes to us.

Jelly Belly Beans

I really like
Jelly Belly Beans!
I'm very glad they
have such a
yummy jelly bean
with so many
awesome flavors.

Pear is one of my
favorite flavors!

A Grateful Heart ... Temples

I am so grateful for temples.
We were able to attend the temple Saturday with several members of our ward.
There is such a special feeling inside those sacred walls, and going there always blesses our lives.
I'm glad we were feeling healthy enough and that things at home were so that we could attend.

Long Over-due!

I'm finally posting a photo of Akleigh ... yeah! Sorry it's taken me so long!!!
She is really sweet and we should have shared a photo long ago. She had just come in from the cold, and we loved the cute hat and coat, so we made her pose for a picture.


And here is Auger, who is loving the coloring/drawing time lately. He knows his colors and wants a semi in every color.

Happy to have Puzzles

I like puzzles.
They are especially fun for the holidays.
We put out a puzzle with a snowy winter cabin scene a couple weeks ago to help create the festive feel, and I've worked on it occasionally, finally finishing it tonight.

Great School Concert

I am grateful for great school concerts, and we got to attend one last night.
(I didn't remember the camera though.)



It was middle school and high school together, so Anthony and Connor both participated and they did a great job. Great Christmas music!
Each band and choir was so easy and enjoyable to listen to, and the evening went by quite quickly. (Sorry to say, sometimes in the past that has not been the case.)

Money

Well, we've heard that money is, or can be, the root of all evil, but there is much good that can be done with it too.
I am grateful that I have enough money ... not too much and not too little.
(I suppose someone could debate either of those with me, but I'm feeling good!)
