Got Jewels?

I love moments like these--absolute precious!!

Oh Christmas Tree.....

Our first Christmas tree!

I am very proud and excited with how it turned out; we got a really good deal on it at Sam's! It's made out of homemade ornaments between Steven and I (we started the tradition of making an ornament for each other 2 years ago) and ornaments from when we were growing up, along with gifts from others. It's next to our awesome electric fireplace--a Christmas gift that we love!














Our stockings--courtesy of Pier 1! They were well worth the high dollar price I paid for them because I love them!














My barbie Christmas tree that's in my first and nicer/less casual living room--I collect barbie ornaments and loved making this tree! I know you can't tell in the picture, but it has bright pink lights! :)















My "catch all" table--where keys and bills go. I am also thrilled with how the decorations turned out for this!











And last but not least, Steven's Star Wars tree :) I had to compromise somewhere for my barbie tree, right? I actually like it--it's in our bedroom and is really fun to look at!















Merry Christmas everyone!!!

Prayers!

Please say a prayer for this precious baby from my class at work, Reese!

She has a lot of things going on with her and needs strength and needs for her body to work the way the doctors are trying to get it to work (without going into detail).

Please take a minute to say a prayer for her; prayer is the most powerful thing we have, and fortunately is much more powerful that our fears or the doctors caring and nurses caring for her.

She has a beautiful smile that is contagious and she deserves to share it with everyone she can. Her parents need strength and support as well, so pray for them to have patience and be encouraged with the progress that Reese can make and is making.

"God is good, all the time. All the time, God is good!"
