Something I'm Grateful For

As 2013 comes to a close, and 2014 is almost here, I wanted to post this picture, because it reminds me of one of the many, many things I am grateful for: our home & land. How gracious God has been to us!
It has been a wonderful year on our land.
May we never lose our gratefulness to God for all He gives us!

The excitement mounts...

The afternoon was filled with projects



Playing Nathaniel's new game -- PicWits!

It's quite fun!

And this game, "Man Bites Dog," was a hit, too!!!!

A headline Dad created...

Reading is a favorite Christmas past-time, with new books all around!

The beautiful dinner table


At Wednesday Night Bible Study that evening, the guys talk to Mrs. Y. :)

Ava & Deborah

The cake

Festive and fun!

What a wonderful Christmas -- full of generosity, laughter, family togetherness, and the remembrance of Christ, Who humbled Himself and came down to earth for us...

A gorgeous tree on a gorgeous (maybe "exciting" is a better word) morning!

We wake up and come downstairs for Bible Time...

Racing mice from stockings! ;)




The view out the living room window


Excitement :)
