What a gorgeous Saturday. Woke up and the sun was shining soo beautifully on the snow. Gorgeous.
Steve and kids are off to the "big" hill to so some sledding.....I was gonna go but......getting some things done around the house.....maybe even squeeze in a few presents to wrap.....
Went to the movie "A Christmas Carol" last night and it was incredible....I was saying before the movie if $12 was a good price to fall asleep for. (That is what it cost to see the movie in 3D) and I always fall asleep in movies so therefore I hardly ever go. I didn't fall asleep!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It was awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
If you have a chance you need to go see it.
Tonight is a dinner and play at a local church. They always do such a good job.
Went shopping yesterday for snowpants/boots. Just life here in Northern Michican:)
Have a good weekend!!

Did we mention recently how much we LOVE living in Michigan......We woke up to a few inches of snow blanketing the ground and the house felt so warm, so cozy, so Christmassy:) - With all our Christmas decorations up....we can enjoy the season....
We use every excuse during this month when Steve and I go out.....telling the kids....we're getting presents. It's a date night every weekend night:) - "Now, Miranda....you want presents for Christmas, don't you??....Well, Dad and Mom will be back after a while."....:) - I love how it works. We ARE shopping for presents....added with a little dinner out.......:)
Steve and I have his work Christmas party tonight. That will be interestng to finally put names with faces. He loves his new job and seems to be fitting in quite well. He says he couldn't have scripted his position better....God is Good!!!!!
We have the Lhamon Christmas dinner tomorrow night. That is always fun seeing relatives that we haven't seen in like a year. How time flies!!!!!
We hope you have a very Merry Christmas season!!!

Great wealth is not related to money. It is an attitude of satisfaction ("enough is enough") coupled with inner peace (an absence of churning) plus a day-by-day, moment-by-moment walk with God......
In a word, the secret is contentment.

(Strenghthening your Grip)
My grace is sufficient for you (2 Corinthians 12:9)

There are no trivial things in a Christian life. If we yield ourselves to God each day and ask him to guide us, we'll have the direction we need when we need it. If we don't, then we wait. God leads in little things and big things because he is making all things work together for good.

*All things work together for good to those who love God. (Romans 8:28)

We look for ....joy in our careers, in money, in power, in all sorts of material things. But if they really brought lasting joy, wouldn't we have testimonies from millions of people around the world to that effect?
Try putting Christ first and watch how your life is turned around. You will discover where the love, peace, joy and acceptance you've been searching for is to be found.
Billy Graham
-Unto the Hills
I will love you, O Lord, my strength (Psalm 18:1)

Below are pictures of our Halloween....2009.
Little Molly was little miss muffet......We found a spider that you could actually make move and we put that under her shirt so when the spider was up on her shoulder she could actually make it move. Cute:) - Patrick was Bob. Steve always calls him Bob so we took Steve's nametag from work and put Bob on it:) - Steve thought it was pretty cute.
Have a great week!!!!!!!
Kids are back in school today. Already gearing up for the Holiday Season:)
