A visit with Grandma and Grandpa Graham~

Dear Friends,

How nice to "see" you today! We are getting some colder weather here in Missouri, and even saw a few snowflakes this morning. Indeed, it is starting to feel like Christmas.

We had a fun visit with the Grandparents Graham on Thanksgiving, complete with a craft-making party after the meal.

The Grahams have a fun playset in their back yard!

AnnaMarie placed custom-made place cards on the beautifully-set table~

~And Evangeline made lots of Christmas ornaments by herself!

The girls also tried their hands at making cinnamon/applesauce ornaments, which smell divine~

~And Frankie discovered the joys of Lincoln Log construction.

  

We have been learning so much about all the new things that grow and live in Missouri, and have even tried our hands at processing and eating acorns (Oak trees are few and far between in Idaho). One word of advice we have, when trying new foods, is to start with a small amount and work your way up, or you could end up with a tummyache!

May you have a most delightful day today, dear friends, and delight in the prospect of the beginning of a brand new month tomorrow. May the love of Christ fill your hearts and homes as you prepare your homes for the celebration of His birth.

Love,

Marqueta

Oak trees come out of acorns, 

no matter how unlikely that seems.  

An acorn is just a tree's
way back into the ground.  

For another try. 

Another trip through.   

One life for another.
