Getting an inch of snow is like winning 10 cents in the lottery.

We didn’t even get an inch today but watching it fall was a thing of beauty, as always. Hope we get some more this winter.

Day Three Hundred Sixty Three 2012

To get (grandson) Knox to eat, sometimes his mommy has to resort to making him laugh, which distracts him and makes him open his mouth long enough to shovel in some food. It works. Wish you could hear his belly laugh in this picture.

Happy TGIF, everyone! Rock on!

Day Three Hundred Sixty Two 2012

Granddaughter Shelby and grandson Elijah are on Christmas break from school until the new year. They brought their bikes to my house today (Shelby got hers from Santa) and rode around for a while in spite of the 30+ degrees.

See that little face in the bottom middle window? Grandson Knox had to be content to watch his cousins from inside the house.

Shelby was stylin’ in new jacket, boots and knee socks. Love the purple bike.

Daredevil Elijah—riding one-handed! Then they headed inside and thawed out with some hot chocolate (with marshmallows, of course).

Day Three Hundred Sixty 2012

MERRY CHRISTMAS FROM THE MABRY CLAN!

For centuries men have kept an appointment with Christmas. Christmas means fellowship, feasting, giving and receiving, a time of good cheer, home. ~W.J. Ronald Tucker
Those of us who could be together this evening enjoyed all these things—fellowship, a whole lot of feasting, giving and receiving (also known as ‘Dirty Santa’), and also a whole lot of good cheer, and home, too, as my sister Ann and her husband Terry open their home to all of us at Christmas. Thanks for hosting our holiday happy time together, Ann and T! As always, it was very merry and bright. I am so thankful to be blessed to be a part of this awesome family. Love to all of you. Merry Christmas!
