I wish I remember what the joke was!  It looks like a good one.  It is our 17th Wedding Anniversary today.  My Dad commented in his email that ‘you start a lot when you get married’.  Isn’t that so true!  It is staggering to me to look around the table tonight and see we started five new lives.  I never would have imagined that when I stood there and said ‘I do’.

I made a Kent a special book to give him today (he has it in his hands).  I put in sentimental words and photo’s and had it printed through Artisan State.  I TOTALLY recommend them.  They ship worldwide for no extra cost and it is gorgeous.  I am so so pleased with the quality and look.  It has thick lay-flat pages like a childs board book and the quality of the pictures is stella.  Big thumbs up from me.351

I had the bright idea to do a gingerbread house decorating party for our last bible study of the year.  It would take quite a bit of time to make 4 big houses.  As usual I procrastinated, but now I have a daughter old enough that says ‘Oh Mum, can I please make them’?  And make them she did.  She spent all evening, and I didn’t help a speck.  I love these big responsible girls 🙂  She did a fantastic job.

I really like our ‘tradition’ of getting a live tree from the forest, but lots of times they are far from perfection!  I’m letting go, and this year it was 100% kid talent on the decorating front.346
