I made 20 of these scented pillows for all of my Circle sisters. Our Christmas Party is tonight and I am excited to share them with everyone...oh, and all the wonderful food and fellowship.

3rd Sunday of Advent...
They shall obtain joy and gladness, and sorrow and sighing shall flee away. Isaiah 35:10



May the spirit of Christmas bring you peace,
The gladness of Christmas give you hope,
The warmth of Christmas grant you love.

December Photo Project~12-12-09

This is my belated birthday gift. A laptop. I love it. It came today. Actually it came yesterday, on my birthday, but we were in Bloomington, Il.
I have been using a hand me down desktop computer, with a Windows 98 operating system! It has been acting slow and the blue screen of death has presented itself more times than I can count!

I usually don't give myself presents, but I am glad that I gave myself this one.



Sorry if the photo is a little dark.

Yesterday, the 11th,was my birthday. It was a really good day. We left around 9:00am to go to Bloomington, Illinois. We met my sister Genny and her two little ones. Went to Mc Donalds's for lunch, a treat for all the kids. This picture is of my two girls. I love it.




We went to the Childrens Discovery Museum in Normal, IL. It was awesome. The kids and adults had so much fun. I highly recommend this museum if you are ever in the area.



This is Tahoe, my sister's sweet dog. He had a sore on the side of his face that he kept scratching. So she had to break out the collar. He was so sad that she put it on him. We couldn't help but laugh...poor guy.



We didn't get home until 10:30pm. It was a long, fun day.

We are having such a cold and very windy day here in Central Illinois. Wind gusts of up to 50 miles an hour....brrrrr! It feels very wintry and it is such a blessing to be here in our warm home.

I have this Christmas card from last year sitting on my kitchen window sill....it always brings a little smile to my heart throughout the day.

Our Jesse Tree. I am putting one to two ornaments on the tree each day. The girls are really enjoying the story behind each picture. We work on memorizing the scripture that goes with each one. I had never heard of the Jesse Tree until last year when I read Monica's post on it.
