The Joy of Sisters

On Thanksgiving our Miss A turned six and her sister Miss O turns 8 in December, so Carrie and her hubby usually host a sister birthday party. WE all gathered for dinner on Saturday evening and celebrated two incredible girls.What joy!


We ate, played and visited; when you get the 11 grands together, there is plenty of laughter, squeels and giggles.  It was a wonderful gathering, but then any time our family is together it is wonderful.
I hope you have a great day~mine will be busy helping to decorate for an ornament exchange party in the evening.  This always ushers in the many celebrations.  Stay warm, it is still so very cold here.
Happy December to you all.
Blessings,
Noreen

Two Awesome Guys

Happy Thursday to you! Today is a very special day in our family, because we have two incredible guys who celebrate the same birthday. The first one is my dear hubby; I am so blessed to have him in my life. He is an incredible man, husband, father and grandpa. Here he is on a cliff in Kauai; he loves the Islands and would love it if we had moved there years ago. Eleven years ago, our oldest daughter gave birth to a little boy. Hubby teased her because her first born son was named after both his grandfathers and then her second son was born on hubby's birthday.

Here is our Mr. B as he is known; actually he has lots of nicknames. He has a heart of gold, a wonderful sense of humor and is a wonderful son, grandson and brother. He loves animals, specifically dogs(like his nana)and also loves music. He is all boy, rather young man.
Both of our grandsons love anything Lego and even have a blog reviewing Lego kits.  Here he is hamming it up on his brother's birthday last March.  We couldn't be more proud of him.  Of course, if you know me well enough, you know I say that about all our grands.  Mr. B will eventually begin breeding dogs, as his dad did when he was a young man.  Not sure what breed he'll choose; I try to steer him in the direction that I hope he goes-because when a grand has an up and coming business, his grandparents do support him.  This is why Hunter doesn't yet have a pup to share his bed with yet.

To my guys, Happy Happy Birthday to you both! May your day be filled with love and laughter and may your year be wonderful.

Have a great day friends~

Birthday Fun

Who wouldn't love this beautiful cake? Isn't this every little girls dream cake? When my girls were little, I always struggled with creative birthday parties.  Now as I watch our grown daughters and their hubbies throw birthday parties, it boggles my mind at their creativity. 

Most of the girls waiting for our 6 yr old to open her presents.  Aren't they just adorable!
 The other part of the gang.
Little Miss D thinks she gets to blow out the candle.  Sorry but you have to wait until September. 
We had a wonderful breakfast with everyone and loads of fun.  Afterwards, I ran and got  a free bone density screening and it showed improvement since I've been doing strength training.  I also got some more garage-sales in after class-so much fun.

I have to give a shout out to all my South African friends-yippee on Charles Schwartzel winning the Masters golf tournament.  If Phil couldn't win or Rory from Ireland I'm so glad that Charles did.

It is sunny here so I'll probably be spending the day outside.
Hugs, Noreen

Happy Birthday

Today is our granddaughter's, Miss S, 5th birthday. I've taken to calling her that lately and it fits. Our girl, pictured above with her momma in the hospital after giving birth to our little Buttercup, is a wonderful child filled with such joy and such strength of character. While we were taking care of her and her two other sisters, I never had to worry about information needed to run the house because she was always right there being such a helper. In the photo I think she looks so much like her momma.

She loves babies, especially her new little sister and I know that she is being a big help to her mom and dad. We've missed her like crazy and can't wait to get back home to celebrate her birthday. My girl, I pray the Lord's richest blessings on your life. May you come to know Him deeply and walk with Him all the days of your life. May your life being a shining example that even a child can lead them.

Hugs to you my big girl.

Love, Nana and Papa
