Bittersweet

The kids and I went north for a funeral right after the new year.  Funerals are always a reminder of sin and sadness, but also a reminder that we haver hope past the grave. Jesus IS coming again and after that there will be no more sorrow or tears or death again!  I look forward to that day!

While up north, we also spent time with very dear friends!

New Year Pancakes

Happy New Year!!! 

Just a little fun with my new pancake dispenser:)

Family

Other than God, family is the most important thing in my world!  We really enjoy our trips to TN!

Grandma B

What a special little lady!  We went to TN the day after Christmas and got to enjoy some previous time with my grandma....my last living grandparent.

Red and Green

We didn't plan it,  but we liked it!  Red and green on Christmas day.

Brothers

Fun watching them grow up, but hate how fast it goes!

Or Christmas Tradition

Our absolute favorite tradition of the year --  Taking treats and singing to people who have to work on Christmas morning!

One lady was so excited because she knew who we were. She had been in a nail place the month before when we had come in handing out apple cider packs.

Without knowing it we also gave goodies to a church member. At one hotel we left the things for some house keepers that were on the floor cleaning. One happened to be a church member and she knew right away that her pastors family had been by!  :)

It is definitely more blessed yup give than to receive!
