I volunteered to say the blessing and quickly became

emotional with my words, as you can see in the picture,

and just shouted out Blah,Blah, Blah...

So...my dad quickly spoke up and explained this happens

to a person who knows how to speak

directly from the heart and gave me a hug.

Marshmallow War is so cool...

Good memories...

Technology Times...

Nana rocks...

Beautiful girl...Haley Brooke

What's Up Girl?

Can't leave without it...

We Love Christmas Morning

Our Christmas morning is always spent

at home and at my parent's home.

This year our Christmas started with this prayer

spoken joyfully from my dad.

Bless us, Oh Lord, and these thy gifts which

we are about to receive

from thy bounty, through Christ, Our Lord.

Amen.

Let us take a moment to remember those who are

no longer here with us this Christmas morning.

~BLESSED~ Daddy praying prior to the unwrapping of gifts...

no longer here with us to celebrate this special time together.
