Happy Birthday… and giveaway

Untitled-1

… to three of the most important people in my life.

My mom.
Ken's mom.
Christ.

I love this day.  I love them so much.

Yep, my mom and Ken's mom were both born on Christmas Eve.  Between the three of them, we will be eating a lot of birthday cake. 🙂

And, in honor of their birthday, how about another giveaway?  Just leave a comment here by Saturday at 11:59pmEDT with a birthday message for my mom and ken's mom.  :)  I will pick a winner of this goodness – my favorite October Afternoon stamp set…

Prize

(Oh… the winner of the punch is Grace C!  I will email you.)

And, if you are a fellow believer, here is a fun read.  I just love how it ends.  So very true.  I got it from a drive thru nativity near my house.

And, some good news.  Remember me telling you about Keegan?  He was able to come home from the hospital for Christmas.  First time home in 72 days. He isn't out of the woods, but what a blessing it will be for the holiday to be home.  Keep praying, please.  Bless his little heart.  Here he is for Christmas…

Happy 24th!  I will post again soon.

    Please share a birthday greeting from me to a great set of mom’s. They had both given the world great children that have grown into loving and caring adults.

    Also, thanks for sharing the story of Christ. I wish I could have took the girls to see this year.
