{Christmas} 2015
Christmas 2015 was...
simple and special
filled with family
a few gifts
and our Happy Birthday, Jesus party
in the barn.
It was probably my favorite Christmas ever!

{Gratitude} Lately
Lately, I've been thankful for...
sunny afternoons at the park
billboards on the interstate that lead to a quick pit stop
Thursday mornings
a Nana's love
the Boyce Christmas parade
good coffee and chess with a six year old
a heart filled walnut
and for friends that are more like family.
"Piglet noticed that even though he had a Very Small Heart,
it could hold a rather large amount of Gratitude." A.A. Milne
