so, I realize I am going totally out of order here....

I may have to do some high lights from 2010

and of course that would include Thanksgiving!

It was our "Brinkerhoff Year" -

everybody was able to make it except for the two oldest Grand kids...

Believe........

"As we seek Christ, as we find Him, as we follow Him

we shall have the Christmas Spirit, not for one fleeting day

each year, but as a companion always."

-Thomas S. Monson

I am reading the book "A Christ-Centerd Christmas"

by Emily Freeman

thank you Chris for the book!

It is exactly what I was needing this Christmas season!

HAPPY {40TH} JOHN.....oooops did I just add his age?

We had a REAL quick birthday celebration for John

in the 30 minutes between when the kids get home from school

and before John leaves for work....
it was quick -

but, if you know John - 30 minutes is enough time to spend on a birthday....

LOVE YOU JOHN!
