Festival of Trees 2015, part 1

My mom created another amazing tree for Festival of Trees this year. Every year I say this tree is my new favorite and every year it's true! Mom keeps out-doing herself with her creativity; she is a visionary.
The title of the tree is "When Calls the Heart", named after Lesley tried spreading her obsession with the Hallmark Channel show to the entire family earlier this Fall. Lesley also inspired the reclaimed wood tree "skirt" made out of a wood pallet.
What made this year extra special is my grandmother was able to come help decorate. Grandma and Grandpa are snow birds that fly south for the winter. They usually leave in late October but this year they are leaving until early December so Grandma got to come see the tree in person. I usually send her lots of pictures but trees are more magical in person.

More details forthcoming.

Happy Thanksgiving 2015

I have so much to be thankful for this day and every day.
I am thankful for my Savior, the Plan of Salvation, the restoration of the fullness Gospel, and my temple covenants.
I am thankful for my eternal family and the knowledge that our relationships here in mortality can continue on in the eternities.
I am thankful that I have a good job and I feel valued by my employer. I am also SO grateful I no longer work retail at the holidays!
I am thankful for my cute apartment that is filled with 2 of my favorite things, art on the walls and cats on the couch.
Which brings me to my last item, I am so grateful for Millie and Fiona. They have brought so much happiness and love into my home, even when they wake me up at 3:30 AM by sitting on my face like they did this morning.
Now let's celebrate this amazing day with good food, great family, and PIE!!!

PS:
Now I can watch Christmas in Connecticut!!
