(A Very Large) Blessings these Weeks: 12.26.2014 and 12.31.14

Merry Christmas to you and yours! We were busy celebrating hope come to us and Love dwelling with us last week, so I'm playing a bit of catch up with my blessings list here... and posting on the wrong day, no less. Oh well.

 This will be a big one- we're so blessed! 

<<<>>><<<>>><<<>>>

Of course, the biggest blessing came to us 2,000 years ago- Jesus Christ, Son of God, who came to humble himself, lived a sinless life, and then died so that we may have life! 

<<<>>><<<>>><<<>>>

Back roads and new routes, quaint little towns

<<<>>><<<>>><<<>>>

The blessings of lasting friendship, great conversations, and pizza



<<<>>><<<>>><<<>>>

The best chip dip in the entire world, goofy dogs, and seeing family

<<<>>><<<>>><<<>>>

Hotel hot tubs! 

<<<>>><<<>>><<<>>>

Bunches of little Italian great aunts and -uncles, kisses on the cheeks, seeing cousins after many years, and too many cookies

<<<>>><<<>>><<<>>>

Family history

(Picture by my aunt- thanks for posting all those pictures, Aunt Cathy!)

<<<>>><<<>>><<<>>>

Stories from Grandma and Grandpa and laughing together

<<<>>><<<>>><<<>>>

Some new "goldfish" to join our household- and these ones don't even need to be fed!

<<<>>><<<>>><<<>>>

George Bailey, Zuzu's petals, and family traditions... and oh, the food!



<<<>>><<<>>><<<>>>

Presents we couldn't wait to try out...


<<<>>><<<>>><<<>>>

This fearless little girl who came to the farm to pick out a Christmas kitty... and had a lot more fun, too! -- Up at the very top of the grain leg, on the swing, and hanging out with some steers.


<<<>>><<<>>><<<>>>

Our fireplace cranking out the extra heat

<<<>>><<<>>><<<>>>

Deer hoof prints right outside our door

<<<>>><<<>>><<<>>>

My Pandora Christmas station blaring in my office, Peppermint coffee creamer, and little tubes of lotion for dry typing hands

<<<>>><<<>>><<<>>>

Celebrating new chances, new opportunities, and a New Year!


Happy New Year! It's my prayer that in 2015, we'll all be able to find more peace, live more joy, and discover blessings in unexpected places. 

Until next year!
