Peace

I have 1,000,000 things to do and many demands on my time. I haven't felt like this in a long time. I feel like too many people have no respect for my time. I've been in this frame of mind for a few days. 

I know how to fix this. I will fix this, but there are somethings that are not going to get done. There will be some people who will not understand this, but it will all be well. 

We have had a spectacular week of weather and I am feeling blessed. 

The Jerome light parade was very mild this year. I always wonder why we have to have this parade when it is so cold outside. I do consider moving to a warmer climate. 

The lights make for fun late afternoon walks. 

Ponder the reason for the season and you will find light. 

Baby Shower

I decided to have a baby shower for Callie. One of the first people to invite themselves to the shower was her mother-in-law. 

It definitely put some pressure on me. So I have been collecting things here and there and we pushed back the furniture and had 14 people come and enjoy. 

Spencer's family.

Hannah came and brought her fiance 

Callies High School friends.

Callies dog, Teadie was a big hit. 

It was a good day.  So many more people who were kind enough to come and share  our excitement. 

Welcome December

We enjoyed a very pleasant Thanksgiving day.  I set the table with dishes from my grandmother, stem wear from my mother and the rest from me. So we had my grandma, Callie and Scott's grandma and the baby, who is almost here, grandma's memories at the table.

My crew

Wes cut the turkey.

It was a good day. I had been looking through my Facebook memories of past years. Sweet, sweet memories of family. 

This was at Ty's house around 15 years ago.

Wes's family maybe 6 years ago. 

Dinner at Allison's after my dad's stroke.

It was a week of gratitude for me. I love my family; the littles, the old people, my many in- laws and my children. They are such a blessing to me.
