Christmas Morning Breakfast at the North Pole

Our elf on a shelf is named Skippy!

And when he returned from the North Pole on Christmas Eve, he brought a

North Pole Breakfast. Payton said “We must have the worlds best elf”".

It was cute and we all enjoyed ourselves. 

I thought this would be a good way to say Goodbye to our elf until next year.

50th Wedding A “Golden” Celebration

We danced,

we cried,

we laughed,

we took pictures,

we were silly,

we ate,

we were serious,

most of all

we are a

FAMILY! 

I made and bought the photo props before hand…

50 years of marriage

What an accomplishment of Love, Commitment and Unselfishness

Last week we celebrated Our parents 50th wedding anniversary.

We had a great day together.

What a wonderful family and legacy we have been given.

We are so grateful and appreciate all that we have been taught.

50 years of marriage card facts

This was kind of a last minute idea I had for my parents 50th wedding anniversary.

To be honest it was pretty hard to come up with a couple of them.

starting with 1 – 50

You use a fact for each number, for example:

2-is how many great grand children you have

8-is how many children you have

11-is how many countries you have visited together

24-is how many grandchildren you have

34-is how many years Dad taught school

42-is the age of your son Darren

I painted and glitter some cloth pins.

I printed the facts on cream paper and backed them with black, and hung them with some jute.
