Dear Friends,
We hope you had a lovely St. Nicholas Day~ We had a fun time enjoying the gifts that St. Nicholas left in our shoes, especially Frankie's fun blocks!
After St. Nicholas Day, we put up our tree (not very old-fashioned of us, we know; tsk, tsk!) and decorated it several times over! We love having a tree that is child-friendly and decorated with ornaments that they have made themselves.
Today we had a real treat as we visited a local greenhouse that grows over 15,000 poinsettias each year~ The colors and smell of moist earth were quite euphoric!
The lady working at the greenhouse even offered to take our picture (We'll have to come back with Mr. Graham next time)~
We hope that you are enjoying a beautiful holiday season. May we all be blessed with the love of the Savior in our hearts, as we prepare to celebrate His birth. May His peace be upon us all, and give us the righteous longings of our hearts.
Love,
Marqueta

The Wreath is on the Door
The wreath is on the door
And the snow is on the tree
God has laid His holy hands
On all that we can see.
Be quick to raise your voice
And praise what He has brought.
Keep now His love in every choice
And Christmas in every thought.

Well, either I have never heard of St. Nicholas Day or I thought it was closer to Christmas day. I will have to do a little investigating! :~P
ReplyDeleteMaking homemade ornaments is so fun, not just for children!(But they are usually better at it than I am! :~O )
Your trip to the greenhouse must have been amazing ~ 15,000 poinsettias! Too bad Mr.Graham wasn't in the photo ~ perfect Christmas Card!
