I read this on Heart to Heart With Holley. It was a great reminder to me of how steadfast my Lord is!



Lord,

There are many uncertainties in our world but what matters most will never change.

Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever. Hebrews 13:8

We believe You are with us, for us, and surrounding us with Your love.

So do not fear, for I am with you…I will strengthen you and help you. Isaiah 41:10

No matter what happens, You will guide us and fulfill Your purposes for us.

He who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus. Philippians 1:6

Even in hard times we can be confident that we will have victory through you.

In all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us. Romans 8:37

We trust you will take care of us and bless us in more ways than we can imagine.

God will meet all your needs according to the riches of His glory in Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:19

We give each moment and every day to You. Most of all, we give ourselves too.

Your Kingdom come, Your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Matthew 5:10

Amen.

Christmas with The Hennrich's

Kate and Jacob Musgrove

Levi, Tasha Carter (Levi's girlfriend),
Maddie (Tasha is her nanny) & Findley (Tasha's puppy)

Seth, Jessica, Colby & Carson Hennrich

Anytime family is together life is wonderful! Christmas just makes it that much better! I love the decorations and there is nothing like the excitement of children during the holidays. We have simplified things quite a bit the past few years and that does not affect the thrill of the season at all. It actually makes it better. I am thankful for the love we share!

This year for Christmas we enjoyed a dinner of Baked Ham, Potato Casserole, Corn, Deviled Eggs, Glazed Fruit, Crescent Rolls, Pecan Pie and Gooey Butter Cake. I am thankful for an abundance of food!

We have some new faces in the family this year - Jake (Kate's husband) and Tasha (Levi's girlfriend). I am thankful for these new faces in our family!

My 3 children together on the couch at Game Night!
(I don't get to see this often enough)

The Hennrich Family loves Game Night!! I believe over the 2 weeks of Christmas we must have had at least 3-4 game nights!! We can get pretty rowdy and very intense at times! I am thankful for a family that plays together!

Christmas with The Hennrich's came to an end on New Years Eve when Seth and Jessica loaded up their sweet little boys and headed back home. :(

I am MOST thankful for my family!!!

HAMPTON FAMILY CHRISTMAS

Dad and Gayle were not going to be here over Christmas so we decided to have The Hampton Family Christmas Party the Saturday after Thanksgiving.

We had wonderful food - Chili, Hot dogs, Chips, Dip, Little Pizzas, and lots of other stuff.

Everyone was in attendance - Dad & Gayle; Ric's crew: Laura, Jordan, Abi along with her friend Brandon, Tyler, Claire; Seth's family: Jessica, Colby, and Carson; Kate & Jake; Levi & Tasha; and me - that's 18 of us!!!

We did get a picture of everyone - but I don't have access to it yet. It was taken with Dad's camera, but I will post it as soon as I get it.

After dinner - we played our 'Dirty Santa' game - with some 'honorable' stealing going on.

The evening ended with some good ole family game time!!!

The final night of my Best Thanksgiving EVER!!! I am so blessed.

Girl Time

The day after Thanksgiving Kate, Jessica and I went to The Fox Theatre to see "The Wizard of Oz" Broadway Show. This was the first time either of them had been to The Fox. It is such a beautiful theatre.


We had lunch at The Best Steak House which is located across the street from The Fox. It is a little whole in the wall place with 'the best steaks'!!

As we were heading to the theatre a man stopped us. He had a camera and was wanting someone to take his picture in front of the theatre marque. Kate took his picture for him. It turns out he was the Wizard from the play and said "This is the most beautiful theatre they would perform in and he wanted his picture in front of it". I thought that was pretty cool!

We had a great time watching the show - it was VERY good!!


Another wonderful memory from my Best Thanksgiving EVER!!!

So much to be thankful for!!!

Gayle, Carson, Jessica, Colby and Seth

Kate, Jake, Levi & Tasha

Dad at the head of our Thanksgiving Table

I do believe I had just about the BEST Thanksgiving I have ever had!!! My house was full - Seth, Jessica, Colby and Carson & Dad and Gayle all came in on Wednesday night. We heard some BIG news - Seth & Jessica are expecting baby #3!!! We are hoping for a girl, but, of course, we just want a healthy baby.

Our Thanksgiving dinner table was loaded with lots of yummy food - all the tradition Thanksgiving foods along with some of our favorite dishes. We were all at one table - 12 of us (my nephew, Jordan, joined us - we had already taken pictures :( when he arrived)

Thanksgiving night several of us attended the midnight Black Friday sale at Wal-Mart! What an experience that was. It was fun for us - but I do not understand why people would go and be part of the madness if they are not going to have fun with it!! There were way too many crabby people there.

OCTOBER

Me in my Grandpa Pogue's arms with Grandma Pogue nearby! I loved them sooo much!!

Mom & me

The month of October is a very important month to me. My mom's birthday was in October. So every October I am thinking of her. Also, my Grandpa's birthday was in October. I miss them both very much. But I know they are living pain free and clear minded with Jesus!!

Colby and Carson

The best part of October is both of my grandsons have birthdays!!! Colby turned 5 this year and Carson turned 2. Even though they live almost 350 miles away Kate and I have been blessed to be able to spend every birthday with them so far!!! Unfortunately, Kate could not attend this year. But Tasha Carter, Levi's girlfriend, accompanied me on the trip and we had a great time! Grandkids are AWESOME!!!!
