A Christmas Present for My Son

Merry Christmas to you my darling little boy...

My son, Buckaroo, who is almost two, fell in love with trains this past fall. So, I embarked on a mission to find him a wooden train that he could play with and that would be something that he would be able to pass down to his children too some day. And, this is what I found at a local craft show, The Country Peddler.


A handcrafted wooden train set complete with an Engine, three Cars, and a Caboose.


It was perfect!!!
I decided to jazz the train up a bit and paint it for Buckaroo for Christmas. Here is the result...


My son was SO EXCITED when he opened this on Christmas morning!



I love all of the bright colors for a little boy to enjoy


Our Texas Christmas tree of 2009


This was the perfect gift and my son loves it dearly!!!

For myself, my family, my two darling sisters...here's to hoping that your Christmas celebration was a blessed one and that the Lord will be with you to guide you in the coming New Year!!!

To Warm Your Heart...

Our lovely sister Johanna plays the piano beautifully and this past Saturday she had her Christmas Recital. Johanna and other students played Christmas Carols and Hymns for Elderly at an Assisted Living Home to help bring them warmth and cheer this Christmas Season. After the Recital Johanna went up to play through one of her songs again and she was joined by a little "helper," her nephew, Buckaroo. Enjoy!

Glory to God in the Highest!!!

As the Christmas Season draws near and the world around us give homage to Christ the King and Celebrate His birth whether in tradition, song, or worship...remember to take this opportunity to praise God and to share Christ with others. When you are shopping and 'Joy to the World' starts playing...praise God and use the opportunity to share the good news about Christ! It's Christmas, and people are open to hearing about Christ the King more then any other time of the year. Even though the Bible does not tell us the day Christ was born...as the world sets aside time especially to remember His birth...and hopefully His life, death, resurrection, and glorification...utilize the opportunity for bringing glory to God!

Merry Christmas All Ya'll!!!
