Happy Birthday!

I neglected to add a picture or two of the birthday girls in our family for the month of November. I now have a 4 yr old (Nov 13) and a 9 yr old (Nov 17).

Madison is our spice in life. She is the spice that leaves you with a stomach ache (as my husband once commented - just a joke). WE LOVE THIS LITTLE GIRL! She is a princess continually trying to be better - a free spirit.

Megan is the calm before, during, and after the storm. Not much can upset her, but be aware we have seen her do the unthinkable. She is kind, compassionate and loving. We know why Heavenly Father sent her first. She makes the world a better place.

Christmas Poem

My Heart Returns to Bethlehem

My heart returns to Bethlehem
At Christmastime each year
As earth awaits the manger King
With angels bending near,
I journey with the Wise
MenTo worship the King
And wonder as I seek Him
Which gift I should bring.
What shall we give the Christ Child,
Unworthy as we are?
Perhaps a blanket for His bed,
Perhaps a shiny star!
Perhaps I'll read Him poetry
Or sing a lullaby,
Or maybe I'll hold His handIf He begins to cry,
My heart returns to Bethlehem
At Christmastime each year
And kneels beside a mangerTo shed a joyful tear.

Life can be very busy and sometimes we don't stop to think of the things that matter most. So we'll use this opportunity to wish all those we may, in our hustle and bustle forget to wish, a very wonderful and memorable Christmas season and please remember why we celebrate!
