Christmas 2013

Sadly this was our last Christmas with Grandma, she went to heaven in early January.  So very happy to have had this Christmas season with her.  She loved Christmas and she loved Christmas decorations.  One year she and several of the ladies at our church sold ornaments to raise money to buy coats for some local children who needed them.  She was a wonderful Mom, Grandmother and Great Grandmother.  She was so special to me, I believe I am a better mother and wife and grandmother because of her.   

We had some happy times during the Christmas Season too. 

I know one little girl who got way too much stuff for Christmas this year.  Her name is Hope Marie…

These pictures are of the Chinese Lantern Festive at Fair Park in Dallas.  Beautiful.  Some dear friends gave us tickets and we had so much fun. Also we bought a new car.  Love Love Love it.  And we are so thankful to have it. Also Hope Celebrated her 9th Birthday in December.  Several Friends and family celebrated by seeing the movie  “Frozen”  (great movie) and then cake and at a local restaurant.
