Merry Christmas to All!!!

“For today a Saviour has been born for you in the city of David: he is Christ the Lord.”

-Luke 2:11

This is my parents’ beautiful Christmas tree. On Christmas Eve, my husband, son, and I went to my parents’ house for the traditional family annual Christmas Eve party. This was one of my first pictures with my Christmas present from my husband,son, and parents. They gave me my first DSLR camera, a Canon Rebel EOS T3.

Merry Christmas to all the bloggers!!!

Weekly Photo Challenge: Happy

“My family makes me happy.”

The photos above are photos of my son, husband, and me together in the past 11 years.  There’s many people, events, and things that make me happy, but my son and my husband are #1 on my happy list.

These photos were originally in color.  I used PicMonkey.com to create black & white effects, a soft look, and dark corners. And I also used the new WordPress multi-photo format. I like it. You can click on any of the photos to see captions and enlarge the photos.

This week, “happy” is the theme for the WordPress Weekly Photo Challenge. Click on the badge below for more details on the challenge and to see other entries.

Working Together

Saturday, my nephew was not able to come over to mow the lawn, so my husband and I mowed the front yard ourselves. It was good exercise and very messy (as you can see below; my shoes turned a light shade of green). It was also a nice bonding experience. A simple task as mowing the lawn brought us closer that day. Another simple thing that means much.

Trip to Buc-cee’s

This past Saturday my husband, son, and I went on a road trip to a very unique large convenient store/gift shop found in Wharton County, Texas.

A little girl had dropped some stones from a display and my son, without me saying anything, helped the girl and said “here you go”. I am so proud of him. I think he’s on the right track.
