Hello all - this month, I'm happy to share these photos with you and hope you enjoy seeing them.
First up, is a picture of Salman. He's the child my husband and I are sponsoring through World Vision, and you can see him holding our photo. World Vision now has the children select their sponsors, and we're so glad that Salman picked us! Salman is 5 years old and lives in Bangladesh.
What would a month be, without pictures of the doggies?
This is Pica, longingly looking at my daughter's pizza. She cracks me up. You can see all the boxes of ornaments that we brought out, as we prepared to decorate for Christmas.
Here's what the tree looks like, plus a short video clip from Christmas Day.
One thing about December is the beautiful sunsets. This one shows the fading colors from our front steps to the west.
One of our traditions is having "Monkey Bread" on Christmas Day. Not only does it taste so good, but the whole house smells like sugar and cinnamon!
Callie gave me a Christmas cactus, and its flowers were so beautiful!
From our house to yours..... Here's to an amazing year ahead!
Hope you have a happy and healthy New Year, and here's to a great 2020 !!!
What a wonderful post! Loved getting a glimpse into your life during December. How touching that Salman got to choose who he wanted for his sponsors. That's nice that the children are picking who they want versus the other way around.
ReplyDeletePica is so well-behaved. Our dogs would have gobbled up that pizza in no time!
Your tree is beautifully decorated. I like the monochromatic look. Very elegant.
The sunset is gorgeous.
The monkey bread looks delicious.
I wish my Christmas cactus had as many blooms as yours does. It's doing better this year, but nothing like what yours is like.
Your home has a lot of character - I really like the design of it. I was surprised to see no snow on the ground at this time of the year. I always think there should be snow in December. :)
