Christmas part one

Christmas was a delightful day! We celebrated at our home with Doug's mom and stepdad, his sister, 2 sons and my daughter and her family.
We had ham and heavenly hashbrowns, sweet potatoes, corn, rolls, veggies and fruit! Nummy and enjoyed by all!

Brittanee always likes to be where the adults are. I can relate to that I think I was just like that as a child!

The snuggies were a HIT! This is Brittanee with her polka dot snuggie that I made. Hers has a pocket. I did not take the time to put a pocket on all of them.
Ryker's face lit up when he saw all the Huskie logos. I think he thought it was jammies at first though! :)
Andrea's face speaks for itself! :)
She is kind of indifferent to the stuffed dog. After all, there is the real thing right across the room!
All in all the visiting was good, the food was good and family time is always good!!!

Dancing Granddaughters

Rosie Posie's New Doll

My Granddaughter's 13th Birthday






Can't believe that my number 3 granddaughter has turned 13! Delanie is growing into such a beautiful granddaughter and is such a blessing! I made Delanie fleece jammies for her birthday also. the butterfly fleece is the top and polka dots are the bottoms. They turned out fabulous and D really enjoyed them! It was a great day celebrated with family! D decorated her own pumpkin cakes with her dad's help. Mom served make your own "sub" sandwiches and they were great!!! Best of all is that we were able to get over and back without the forecasted snow delaying us in anyway! PTL! Last year we missed the party because of snow and I just didn't want that this year!

Birthday Girl Jammies


Last pair of jammies for this year (starts up again right away in January!) My granddaughter is having her golden birthday tomorrow. 13 on the 13th. She loves purple and lime green. Not much available in that combo but when I saw these two fleece fabrics, I knew it was her. So off tomorrow to another birthday! Fun!

There is Always HOPE!


We have been having some wild weather out here in the Pacific Northwest! Wind, Rain, Wind, rain, wind, rain and repeat, repeat! Trees down, rivers rising, electrical outages, you name it. And then you look out the window and see the sun shining in the valley. Just thru one small hole in the clouds (you can still see the angry, gray/black clouds in the background). And there it is, but not just one, TWO rainbows! Reminding us of God's promise and reminding us that no matter how bad things may be there is always hope. This was on a paticularly wild day, hail, rain, wind and it poured! Thank you, Lord!

Great Grandma and Great Grandpa Shamp. It is such a blessing to have them be able to attend. :)


My ever like his father grandson, Isaac.


This is just a few of my beautiful granddaughters .



What a joy it was to spend Sunday with my family celebrating Keizer's 8th birthday. What a blessing these kids are! Oh believe me they are not perfect! But I am so blessed. It is a joy to watch them grow in the Lord. I was also reminded of how nice it was to get to go to the restroom to get a moments peace and quiet! LOL! Mark and Shelley did a great job putting on the birthday party. Shelley puts careful thought into everything from the games to the cake to the prizes. Mark works well with the kids and manages the execution of the games. The cake was a delicious Costco chocolate cake with the star wars decorations added by Shelley. Praying that my grandson will follow the footsteps of the Lord all the days of his life and be richly rewarded for it. Love you, Keizer. You are such a kind, thoughtful, intelligent, caring, wild! grandson! :)
