That is it, sure wish you could stop by for awhile! I'd take a picture of the front porch but the gorgeous poinsettias I bought just two days ago are now all frozen, shriveled up and dying.

WOW! You have been a busy girl. It looks great, I really like all the pics of the house, it brings back so many memories. But ya know what??? I think I have more Christmas stuff that you! I swear it multiplied this year. Actually I just put out way more this year than I normally do...Anyway-the blog looks great. I really hate that pic of us at the baptism but...I suppose you will be leaving it up won't you?? Good luck with the launch!; December 15, 2008 at 6:03 AM

How the Blog Works

Just below you will see the archives. Each title for 2014 is a separate little post. The previous seven years are archived below this year's card.

You may click on the ones you are interested in or you can view all 11 for 2014 in a sequence by clicking on older post when you get to the bottom of the page. We have enough of them now that I think the kids grandkids might enjoy a hardbound published book with these years included.

Thanks for visiting us here. This experiment with an electronic Christmas Card has been fun for us. Now we can look at 7 years worth of them and see our grandkids growing up before our eyes. It is fun to keep a running chronicle of all of them in one place with annual highlights for them to enjoy later in their lives. I don't expect anyone to read it all but you are welcome where your interests may lie. It is how I multi-task my Family History and Christmas wishes to one and all.

We would love for you to make comments if you wish! We'd enjoy knowing if you like the electronic card and what is new with you too!! Read as much or as little as you like. Relax, enjoy, and Merry Christmas!

Oh, and one last thing. Anytime you want to return to the beginning of the blog, just double click on the header picture which is the picture of The Nativity at the top of the page. I hope you will enjoy the music videos as well. It's all about your choices throughout.
