December 2013

With Thanksgiving being at the very end of November this year it made a shorter Christmas time for all of us. I did most of my Christmas decorating just before Thanksgiving but not too overwhelming. I really love Thanksgiving and although we should be thankful everyday of our lives it is good to have that time with loved ones to enjoy and give thanks. We have been so blessed all year. We got a brand new granddaughter this year. Everyone stayed pretty healthy with just a few bouts of sickness but nothing major. The drought ended and we got a significant amount of rain. With the rain our garden did well. My little business seems to be doing well. My mother moved in with my oldest sister and her health and outlook improved. I could go on but I will end it by saying God has been so good to me.

Our grandson Chantry turned 8 this month. It is hard to believe he is that old. This child is amazing! He has a sweet, kind personality. He loves to learn and this year in  his Bible Quizzing he memorized and could quote perfectly 191 Bible verses. Who does that? It is just amazing! Last year he memorized 174 Bible verses. He is so smart. Goodness, I love him so much!

 We had our first Funk Girl's Christmas Party in my home. 

We had a nice lunch together then played Dirty Santa. 

It was so much fun to be together!

There were a  few that could not make it. 

Maybe next year!

Great Grandma finally met Evangeline.
