Fast December Thoughts...

Ready?
These thoughts have to be fast because there is so much to do.
Cooking, visiting, shopping, traveling, singing, sleeping, volunteering, etc.
I also have a good book I need to read at the end of all of the fast a furious stuff.
So here goes...
Ky at the Canton Trade Days a few weeks ago.
She is so much fun.
The sisters on the Canton Square. 
I don't have any blood sisters but these are even better.
They are truly my sisters in every way.
Most importantly my sister's in Christ. So very thankful I am.
Broccoli and cabbage we harvested out of our little garden yesterday before the hard freeze. I covered the plants up in hope of saving the hundreds of tomatoes that are trying to ripen. We will see if they made it to see another warm day.
I am so hoping that they did.
Have you driven around to see the Christmas lights?
So fun! I love this yard.
 Can't wait to see this in my mama's house.
I wish you four boys a great Christmas and good luck on your finals!
They are so handsome. The youngest Gentle Giant cut his hair a month or so ago.
Listening to this with a little Buble thrown in.
LOVE Christmas music!
Would love to see his in person some day!
I can dream.
Thankful today for this book.
It has been the best parenting help of any book excluding of course, the Bible.
If you are Christian parent and don't have it.
Ask for it for Christmas.
Life changing for you and for your children. I promise.
Wishing to see this in person too...I am in love with red barns.
I would live in this one.
Yes. I would.
 They are wanting to do more of this...
And, we are all thinking alot about this fact.
Wonderful Counselor! Mighty God! Everlasting Father! Prince of Peace! AMEN!
Blessings! Amy

Here it is: One box of Betty Crocker Red Velvet Cake mix. 1 semi sweet choc. chips 1 small Half and Half- (use half a cup) 1small carton of whipping cream 1 package of cream cheese Half cup sugar Bake cake (follow box directions), let cool and crumble. Stir together cream cheese, sugar and whipping cream with blender until smooth. Melt chocolate chips in bowl and then add half and half. Stir until smooth. Layer in trifle dish. Enjoy.  Alaska memories. Love this fat Santa above. Thrilled with how this little wreath turned out. Happy Christmas decorating! Remember: Your family probably does not care if your house looks like something out of Southern Living. They love the traditions and old ornaments and chipped Christmas mugs and plates. Our kids sure do. It is hard when we compare what we have to other people's "things" or decorations. We are all so richly blessed. I say, just don't do it. I am trying to hav

Camp Blue Haven-2012

Image
Mountains green, sparkling streams, every morning you greet me. Pine trees tall, waterfalls, blue skies canopied o'er me. May I know as I live and grow, God forsakes me never. May His love from above bless Blue Haven forever.  And what a blessing it was this summer to be back up in the cool mountains with so many people that we love.  As I reflected on this special place I thought about how big of an influence it has been on our children and our hearts.  At camp time slows down. There are so few distractions. The focus is on fellowship, enjoying God's creation and growing in knowledge of Him.  It has been a place to teach us what our life in this world should be about. It has also been a glimpse of what I think heaven will be a little like.  It has taught us to stay close to one another, to be accountable to each other and to live an out loud life for Christ. No holding back. Living it. Because of the encouragement and growth that happens here we are bett
