A visit from a dear friend Tina and her husband Justin Haley. It was so great to see them, they live in Alaska now and I have not seen her for many years so it was great to catch up.

Kindness abounds

Our family was truly blessed this holiday season, beyond a measure that I can put into words. There are many special people in the world and we have a few in our lives that have made a big impact on our little family.
The Polar Express is a favorite at our house and I didn't have a chance to watch it this year but I know; I do hear the bell ring even louder this year than ever before.

We had a knock at the door about 12 days before Christmas, not a mystery really but when we answered no one was there, just a small wooden manger with a note attached. The excitement was started from there every night we received a note with a new piece of the nativity and the anticipation was so much fun. It truly kept all of us going ,throughout the week each evening we would all ask, " have you checked the front door?" Did they come yet? It was something to look forward to and it was great.

On the last day Jared and Heidi Phelps knocked on the door and gave us the last piece and revealed themselves, how surprised we all were! It was so fun for everyone. Thanks so much to them for doing something so kind and thoughtful.

Savannah's birthday

Pleasantly surprised! She had found a purse she really wanted at Heidi's boutique several weeks prior and I picked it up for her birthday. I love those kind of surprises they are the best!

Last weekend Savannah & I went to a boutique at Heidi's home. It was so fun to meet a bunch of new people and mingle a bit, not to mention do a bit of shopping, we both found a few things we liked. Rock, Paper, Sugar is officially off the ground as you can see now we'll see what become of it from here :) time will tell.
2010 can only rock from here, because 2009 just keeps well...let's not discuss it.
I just returned from an IMAX field trip with the 3rd grade and it was a blast! We were actually able to watch 2 movies, one in 3D and the other on Greece! Afterward we had lunch at Freestone park and the weather is fabulous. I'm thankful to be a mother today and have a healthy beautiful daughter and a healing yet healthy terriffic son.
