Happy Birthday Amanda!

Happy 26th birthday to Amanda! We are very thankful for her and appreciate all her skills and her love for the elderly and willingness to serve them! 

Amanda has kept busy this past year with taking care of a few widows, along with cleaning a house with Mom once a week, and giving piano lessons to a group of kids every Friday.  She is also working on her first book,  'Bought With a Price', which she hopes to get published this year!

Amanda LOVES being an aunt to Elizabeth, and like the rest of us, she can't get enough of her precious niece!

Christmas Recap

On Sunday, the 22nd, we celebrated Christmas with Will, Brittany, and Elizabeth.  It was such a joy to celebrate the gift Jesus has given us by giving gifts to one another! 

Grandad and Lizzy time!

We had a time of reading part of the Christmas story and singing 'The First Noel' before opening presents.

Elizabeth got to go first, of course. :)

Trying on her new boots!

Her expression was like: "Seriously guys? What is all this?"

Opening our mysterious gifts 'from' Elizabeth...

Grandparent, Uncle, and Auntie Life t-shirts! We were so excited!

Surprises!

My favorite gift (besides my Auntie Life shirt) was a picture frame for my cat that ran away a couple of years ago.

A photo book of Elizabeth's first Thanksgiving!

Mom has this fascination with hippos now, so we kids got her a hippo phone case. :)

Grandparent gifts!

We had to get a picture with the little girl who is the reason behind the shirts. :)

We enjoyed an evening of Lizzy time!

Happy girl!

She looks SO much like her daddy right there!

"Thanks be to God for His indescribable gift!"
