Our apologies.
Time and life have made us tardy in our posting.
We had very, very happy holidays.
Simple and stress free decorating was wonderful.
We meant to post about our Thankful Tree,
in December,
when it was the Christmas season.
when it was the Christmas season.
Good intentions took us us till January 2nd.
Truth be told, shouldn't it always be appropriate to have a Thankful Tree?
This was truly the perfect year to reflect on the things we are thankful for.
Our tree was only a teeny, tiny little glimpse of a tree.
The tree is not post worthy, only the symbols of our thankfulness merit sharing.
We know our pot is always half full, not half empty.
Our grandkids are God's gift of joy that welcomed us into this season of our lives.
Our amazing daughters have grown into amazing women.
Friends..... what would we do without them?
Hobbies that help us stay physically and mentally strong.
At the end of a long day, relaxing with a nice glass of wine.
An awesome company to work for with awesome health insurance.
Our sweet, sweet dog....you know, all you dog lovers....
So, so, soooo thankful for this marriage saver.
So, so, soooo thankful for this marriage saver.
But most important, we are thankful for the birth of Jesus.
Wishing all of you health and happiness in 2012.

Thank you for visiting. Your tree looks beautiful and a great idea. Here's wishing your is healthy and filled with happiness! May God bless you and your family
ReplyDeleteHi Marla and Steve!
ReplyDeleteI loved all the items on your thankful tree... what a great idea! We didn't get the tree unpacked and up this year... just threw some plastic bulbs on the palm outside the front door lol. (Didn't really have a place for it in this new house.)
So are the breath right strips for you or Steve? I guess either way they benefit the both of you.
So glad you had a nice holiday and enjoyed your family.

What a great idea for a Christmas tree. I'm saving that post because I think I might try that next year. Christmas should definitely be a time for thanks!
ReplyDeleteGreat Post!
I'm late in getting here, but what a delightful tree. It tells a wonderful story of your greatest blessings with just the right touch of Marla humor, (the strips)! Happy New Year Marla and Steve. I'm already looking forward to additions on this year's tree.
