Honest Christmas…

Christmas made it’s swift appearance for the year (as you can see my blown up living room above), and then promptly passed us by. When people ask how my Christmas was I say, “it was great!” I’m not lying, it really was great. But what most people don’t know is that it had a rather rocky start.

Gloria, In Excelsis Deo…

Have you ever wondered as these words melodically came out of your mouth…”What the heck am I saying?” I remember thinking that as a very young adult. I had sung Angels we have heard on high about a gazillion times, but I still didn’t know what I was saying. These wonderful words are in the

I’m late on this one, but my daughter just recently turned the big two! We had a nice little snow themed celebration and everything went really well. She is definitely showing her age these days.
