Why I love Christmas Cards


Just reflecting on all the Christmas cards this year and how lucky we are to receive them each year! I truly look forward to it every December. There were a few that I will remember all year long, Cards that reflect Hope, Love and Prayer.

I wanted to start with the top card. My friend's Ashley"s son Caleb is battling a rare bone disease and has been undergoing Chemo for the past couple of years. He has been in remission and relapsed but continues to fight! They are an inspiration to me!



Both of these Cards Reflect a life long dream to be a mom and Answered prayers for a child through Adoption! We are so Blessed to have Aiden join our family this year, and yet it seems he has been with us forever.
Jackson on the top card, again an answered prayer for a lady and man to become Mom and Dad!
This is my FAVORITE card every year! This family lost their young son the day after Thanksgiving a couple of years ago and Though his passing his parents have set up a foundation for awareness that is saving lives!

I am so thankful for Christmas Cards every year and the reminders that life is very short and yet so so sweet!

All About the Fish Tank!


December 27, 2011
Nana bought the kids fish tanks that were inside of a stuffed animal. Very cute, but when we went to open Blake's his tank was cracked. He had been waiting to get his fish so we bought him a small tank until his is repaired. Can I just say He loves it!

Lauren's tank!
Alexis didn't get a fish tank but she did get her new mirror put up and for a teenager that is HUGE! Let's just say she loves it!

Good night Fish!
