Frosty

The ground is covered in snow tonight.  It's been snowing for about 18 hours and it is beautiful and white and SO COLD!  The kids were in a festive mood tonight and wanted to watch a Christmas movie.   They chose "Frosty the snowman". 

 This was the first time that Michael has seen it.  After it was over, he told me that  

"when the purple man locked Frosty in the 'house' Frosty went to heaven."  

SO CUTE!!!  I had no idea that he knew about heaven!!!  YAY for Sunday school teachers!!!

Singing today

The choir that the girls are a part of sang for church today.  Marky had a speaking part, Maddie was in the choir and Meredith had a solo.  The song was called "Happy Birthday Jesus".  It was so beautiful for me to hear them sing "Jesus, I love you" and know that they really mean it!  It was the most precious thing ever.  I didn't get any pictures of them singing - I can't believe it!  Patrick had the video camera and between that and taking care of Michael, we had our hands full.  We've already watched the video; it blessed me again.  What a special Sunday morning it was.  I am one proud mama!

New necklace

One night when I was sleeping, this idea came to me to make this lanyard necklace.  I wasn't sure how it was all going to come together, but I am SO happy about how it turned out!! I have a sweater dress that needs something extra to make it cute and this is what I came up with.   The flower is knit and felted, the chain is an i-cord that I knit out of a metallic yarn, and then I beaded both the cord and the flower.  Yes, it will be a little different, but I think it turned out even better than my dream!!  I can't wait to wear it!
