'tis the season to be thankful
- celebrating ruth taylor with all the candy for gingerbread house making!!
- "these are my friends and i'd like for them to have coffee." - lori at athens church
- safe and successful adventure to athens! basketball game and ugly christmas sweaters and unexpected empanadas and yaya's company and a fantastic christmas program and fabulous time with family
- time with melinda, jeanie and dan
- lane's love of a sweet thing with coffee (and the way he pulled it out of his pocket and happily shared it!)
- cinnamon rolls and friendship and kindness that makes me cry
- cash kids in christmas pjs
- a meal a month! the gift that keeps on giving all year round :)
- unicorn socks and a sweet lamb that served as prayer reminders for Pip
- successful pursuit youth progressive dinner
- yaya's creative snowman gifts!!
- that things really don't have to be on social media for them to have happened and for them to have been wonderful
- grandaddy's buttermilk pie. so delicious.
- such an enjoyable christmas day...peaceful and easy...got to run...steak for lunch...papa's fried chicken for dinner...nap in the sunshine..walk in the driveway...laughter and games - lots of games! buttermilk pie...wonderful family.
- the lyrics of o holy night...especially the last verse (none of which were written by moriah carey even though that's what the internet said)
- fresh christmas questions
- family feud!
- family exercise time in the driveway (well, me and laura lane and aunt amy, at least!)
- bacon wrapped green bean making by these 2 sweet cousins
- christmas thoughts....i think the world is more as God intends it to be around Christmas (except for the stress/dysfuntion some folks take on) - more light! more music! more gatherings/community! more generosity and gift giving! more attention on Jesus (whether consciously or not!).
