Let It Snow

I participated in an annual ornament exchange for a few years when I lived in Houston. One year this very talented friend brought us these snowmen for our front yards. She made them out of an old fence that someone in her neighborhood was replacing. Clark and I added the wooden trees when we moved to Alabama. Every time I drive up to my house he makes me smile.

Kendall's Gift

I received a cute red bird feeder from Kendall for Christmas. I went to the Wild Birds Unlimited store in Huntsville and got a bag of bird seed to attract song birds. Just like magic I've got a fluttering bunch of song birds surrounding the redbud tree right outside my back window. I love the internet. Whenever I see a new bird I just google it and then It is quickly Identified. So far I have seen some cool birds. I saw a couple of Cardinals, some Finches and a way adorable woodpecker. This wood pecker is actually on the endangered species list so I feel so special to have observed him.

A Kingsford Christmas

We have had a wonderful Christmas this year. Kimberly and Austin were able to join us for Christmas Eve dinner and lights at the Huntsville Botanical Garden. The lights were fantastic as usual.
We got to spend a whole hour on the phone with Brendan. It was great to hear his voice! He had so many fun stories to tell us. We miss him alot but we are so proud of his choice to serve this mission.
We have had a very peaceful day today and very much enjoyed opening and tinkering with our presents. Kendall thought it would be a bummer just spending the day with us. But as it turned out Austin and Kimberly got to spend the morning with us. So only half the day was a bummer.
We are going to the movies this evening to see Bedtime Stories. I hope its good.
Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night!!!!


I love this ornament Dana!
