Truth in the Tinsel

This year for Christmas we were able to do the "Truth in the Tinsel" that we were gifted last year from a friend.  The kids (and I) loved doing it every day.  It was a fun way for us to remember the reason why we celebrate Christmas and to spend time together.

This was the reality of advent most days…but it was worth it!

When you get these precious hand crafted jewels, the mess is all worth it!!!!

Happy Birthday Jesus!  Can't wait to do it again next year!

Jay's 40th Birthday!

My man turned the big 4-0!  His only request for celebrating was "Please don't do all the black stuff!"  Haha well I can't get it here anyway so not a problem.  It was a blast celebrating him!

We celebrated with some friends the day before his birthday and our friend made him one of his favorite desserts…apple cobbler!

The kiddos presented their gifts to dad...

Lolli sent Jay gifts!

From me and the kids….

We took daddy to a new restaurant he has been wanting to go to and they had STEAK!

 Then I made him his favorite meal…hamburger steak, mashed potatoes and gravy.

And for dessert….apple caramel cobbler with homemade vanilla ice cream!

A few throwbacks from recent years….

Happy 40th Birthday Daddy! We love you!
