Thinking . . .

I know my posts have been far and few in between lately. I was thinking about deleting my blog but I don't want to lose everything I have on here about my dad and his accident and then passing onto glory. So until I can get everything off of this blog and saved into another file on my computer I will leave this blog up but I probably will not be posting anymore to it.
The reason I started this blog was so my family could keep up with us and see pictures of the kids and our everyday happenings. It served us well up until now.
Now, most of my family and John's family has Facebook now and we have been communicating so much more on that website. It has been so much fun and is more interactive since we can instant message one another.
So if you have a Facebook and would like to be friends, just send a friend request to me and we can keep in touch that way. Of course you can always email me! If you need my email address it is lenfestey5@aol.com. Come join us at www.facebook.com . . . . that would be so much fun!
God Bless!

Today . . .

Today would have been my parents 43rd wedding anniversary. I miss him so much.

Christmas Decorations

We just put simple lights up outside. The ones on the porch are from my dad. He gave them to me the Christmas before he passed away. There is a wooden snowman on the porch that lights up that my mother-in-law gave me a few years ago too.

This is the first time we have had a fireplace. It is fun hanging the stockings from the mantel! I love my skinny little pencil tree. It has served us well through the years. It is decorated with snowmen. I can't get enough snowmen. Although I dislike snow . . .weird I know.

Here is our dining room. I put a small tree in there as well. The tablecloth I got at a thrift store for $1. I love it! On top of the curio cabinet is a doll collection my mother use to always put out. She gave it to me about 3 years ago. I really love it!

Isn't it adorable? I think of my mother every time I look at it. I love you mom!
