friends and family

My friend Crystal came out for an extended visit over Thanksgiving break

So happy to have her here~we are having a ball eating, drinking vino and telling childhood stories. It makes me miss Brianna and we wish she was here with us laughing about old times.

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving dinner at the house. I was so happy to have a relaxing weekend with friends and family. Gregg's cousins came over, my friend Crystal and the boys~We had a huge feast~it was awesome

I am working lots and trying to get everything ready for Christmas~This week we are going to have our photo shoot for the Christmas cards~ TIME is flying I can't believe it is already December~

making jam

My friend Helen

Helen and Momma Patsi

Our jam session :)

Our grape and plum jam!!

Pasti at my church agreed to help Helen and I do some canning. This has sparked alot of attention and we may be starting a "Lost Arts" Ministry at our church.

Thank you Patsi for teaching us this craft~ it really wasn't as hard as I was thinking it would be :) I had a great time~
