Family enjoyed a fun party at her house tonight with all the traditional goodies like homemade punch and an ice cream cake from Baskin-Robbins all dressed up in Christmas decorations and of course presents. Wishing our Christmas baby a very happy birthday and all the best of everything life has to offer in the year to come. We love you very much!!

Day Three Hundred Sixteen 2013

HAPPY 37TH BIRTHDAY, KELLY!


Daughter Kelly celebrated her [hot pink!] 37th birthday today [and it snowed today just as it did 37 years ago which added a nice touch to the celebration]. We enjoyed a fun party at Kelly and Kerry and Knox’s new/old house with yummy cake, ice cream, and punch [and presents of course]. I wonder how long it’s been since that hundred year old house has heard that many loud voices and so much laughter. Wishing our snow baby a happy birthday and a wonderful life filled with lots of love and many many more good time celebrations. Your dad and I love you!!

Day One Hundred Ninety Four 2013

At Last

I Wanna Hold Your Hand

I’ve Got My Mind Set On You

My niece Evan married her long-time sweetheart Shaun this afternoon. They had a beautiful and simply sweet outdoor ceremony under blue sky and puffy white clouds with family and friends cheering them on. They’ve loved each other for a long time. They’re a good match. Wishing them a happily ever after.

Day One Hundred Ninety Six 2012

My niece Sarah celebrated her 17th birthday this afternoon. She is one of my favorite people on the planet, and I am blessed by her presence in my life. God has blessed her abundantly in every aspect of her life, and it is my prayer that He continues to bless her throughout the coming year as she heads into her senior year in high school. Happy birthday, Sarah! Love you bunches!!
