Happy 50th Anniversary

My Mom & Dad celebrated their 50th Anniversary recently.  We reserved the Library room at the Roof Restaraunt and had a really nice visit and dinner and then the next day we brought all the grandkids for a sledding party and dinner.  We gave them a scrapbook filled with letters, and memories and pictures.  Everyone contributed letters and pictures and then I compiled it into one big book. We had a wonderful time and I think they enjoyed themselves.

Surprise Visit

Grandma Wilson called Saturday night and said

they would like to ride out and see us on on Sunday!

What a nice surprise.  We love when they come.

They made it in time for church and had Sunday

dinner with us afterwards.  The kids played

the piano for them and we had a really nice visit!

Wilson Christmas Party

I LOVE traditions . . . and that's why I love Christmas. For me it's all about traditions. It defines who I am and what I enjoy.

We had a great time at the Wilson Christmas Party last weekend. Everyone brought yummy fingerfoods and we enjoyed each others company. My sister from Afton brought the bells and the kids really enjoyed making music. We tried a new tradition this year. Instead of the brothers and sisters exchanging gifts, we all chose some sort of service to render to someone else during the Christmas Season. We each took a turn sharing how our family was fulfilling this committment. It was very special to hear how each family chose to act on this challenge. I love anything that brings the focus back to why we celebrate Christmas.
