Birthdays, Snowflakes, and Puppies




Twelve years. We are all so thankful God blessed us with this beautiful, easygoing, creative, music-loving soul. Flynn Grace, you are loved.

And then this. Twenty-five! Our firstborn is twenty-five. A lovely, confident, hardworking, selfless, Taylor Swift loving, fashion icon young lady and loving wife. Madison Marie, we love you!



What else have we been up to? We watched some snow fall.  We took some naps. We thought about decorating. We even pulled the tubs down off the shelves. And then we snuggled by the fire some more. How about you, my friends? How is December treating you so far?

Enjoy. And this year, keep it simple.

  2. Happy Birthday to both Flynn and Madison! I hope they both had an extra special day. I love seeing your snow pictures. Just beautiful and so peaceful. Hoping we see snow this winter. It's 75 degrees today and I'm not loving it. Hope you have a really nice weekend. We are planning to get out and look at Christmas lights and maybe go for an early dinner at a restaurant tomorrow evening. Stay warm and cozy, my friend.

  4. Happy birthday to your daughters! Christmas is one of my favorite holidays of the year. Jesus is the reason for the season. I put out a manger with baby Jesus in our front lawn. It came with a lamb that I didn't expect. I look forward to getting our tree up soon. Hope you see my blog soon! Snow on Mt. Hood, which we see. Cool week now but not much rain and no snow. Hugs and blessings!

  5. I am 7, 14, and 16 years younger than my older siblings so I'm a lot like Flynn in that regard. And I can see she, like me, is still close to those siblings despite the age gaps. Happy birthday to two beautiful girls!

  6. Love your new background! :) Jealous of your snowfall- it was 70 here today, which is kind of unheard of. I want the 40's back! Can't believe your baby is 12- and your big girl is 25. Exciting, but still hard to believe. My December is starting out great- decorations are up, music is on, and I've even had cocoa, despite the warmer temps. :)

  8. Happy birthday to your beautiful girls! What blessings! Your view with the snow is absolutely gorgeous, and your tree is too. We re-evaluate traditions here too, as the kids get older. It's quieter, and I baked Christmas cookies today, with not a lot of fanfare, gone are the days of jumping up and down, begging to frost the cookies, and the messes with sprinkles...now I'll just have to do it with the grandkids...

  11. Happy Birthday to both of your daughters. Look at the snow!! So jealous. It's close to 80 degrees here in the south... practically summer with no cold in sight. December sorta snuck up on me, but it's been quiet here too.

  15. Happy Birthday Flynn and Madison! Madison looks so stylish in her scarf, gloves, and purse. And such a sweet picture of Flynn and her Dad. What a festive and Yummy birthday cake that is. Oh, you got some snow already! I'm waiting patiently for ours, and hoping we will have some before Christmas. Love the plaid bow in your doggie's hair. : )
