Welcome to the family

This has been such an eventful year. Ben found Stephanie. Spencer and Jill added little Logan to the family. Brett and Jen are going to have a little girl and Nicole just landed hereself a man.
Christian proposed to Nicole on her birthday. He first asked her father for permission and then called each of her brothers and asked them for their blessing. He made a memory box that had pictures of he and Nicole on the lid and inside he had a leather bound book in which he'd written all the reasons why he loved her. When he popped the question on a beautiful star filled night you better believe she said yes...or at least he assumed she did. She wouldn't stop hugging him long enough for him to see her face. But her face was all we could see when they came back to break the news. She was lit up like a Christmas tree and the bling bling she kept flashing at me was blinding me. We are all so thrilled. Christian is just the kind of guy I hoped would find my daughter. He's a man of honor and integrity and he fits right in around here.

No Silent Nights around here


I'm on our ward's Activity Committee and was asked to sew the costumes for the Nativity Play. So how does one make 14 costumes with $100 budget....Salvation Army and..drapes, sheets, shower curtains, and pillow shams
