Nighttime Snow Shoeing

Ken and I went snowshoeing one night this week.
We had about 2 feet of snow until the rain started yesterday.
Sorry about the blurry pictures but it was pretty dark (darker than the pictures appear)
We had a lot of fun.But what a workout!

"Though your sins are as scarlet, They will be as white as snow"

Isaiah 1:18

Another of God's blessings to me: My husband!

Benny and Cassidy's Dedication

We were so happy to be able to visit Heather, Andy, & the kids last weekend to attend our Grandkids dedication service at their church.

We had so much fun playing with the kids and hanging out with family.

Danielle & Gabby came for the sleep over as well, so as usual, 

Heather had bodies sleeping all over her house!

Cassidy's growing so fast and She is so happy! 

Heather got to say a few words about the kids at the service on Sunday.

Cassidy tried to steal the show.

The Pastor and others had words from God to speak over their lives.

Many gathered around to pray for the family.

It was a very personal and special time for us all.

It is so exciting to see our family growing and flourishing in the Lord. 

Heather and Andy are awesome parents and we thank God for 

His many blessings on them and the kids!!!

Goodbye Christmas

Till Next Year

Yes, I know, for a Christian- Christmas is all year. 

But, people think you are weird if you keep your decorations up!

So farewell Manger

Rudolf's plush friends

Nutcracker collection

Don't tell the neighbors but I still have my Christmas village up!

I will have it down by Valentine's Day- for sure!

New addition (from Ken)

Something the neighbors do know 

is that we still turn our outdoor lights on from time to time 

(forgive us Gabby) 

They are so pretty!!!

Bright Nights

Ken and I went to see Springfield's The Bright Nights display in a near-by park. We got complimentary tickets at the Ball that we went to by that same name. See previous post Going to the ball. 
There are 650,000 bulbs, 406 pieces of display, it takes 60 days to set up and 50 to tear down.
Here are a few of the highlights... well- maybe more than a few  

These are for Benny

My favorite

It was a lot of fun!
