  • Happy Birthday to you!

    4 years ago today at 5:55pm Maygen Nicole entered the world. The doctors said that her chances of survival were slim to none. WELL...here we are 4 wonderful years later all because God has protected and blessed us with her life.

    Where she started: (1 pound 7 ounces)

    "For all you've done and yet to do. Every eye is watching you. Revealed by nature and miracles, you alone are God. You alone are God."

    Happy Birthday Maygs!

  • The Christmas Story

    Acted out by:

    Erin-The Angel (can't you see the wings???)

    Maygen-Mary with Mickey as baby Jesus

    Ada-Joseph (wearing Erin's robe tied on with a rope!).

    The girls wanted to surprise daddy with a play about Jesus.

     Ada is holding the book that is directing their moves.

    This is what they came up with!

  • Gingerbread Cookies

    This is a favorite around here and much easier than some other gingerbread recipes I've seen.

    2/3 cup shortening
    1 cup sugar
    1 egg
    1/4 cup molasses
    2 cups all purpose flour
    1 teaspoon baking soda
    1 teaspoon salt
    1 teaspoon each ground cinnamon, cloves and ginger

    In mixing bowl, cream shortening and sugar. Beat in egg and molasses. Combine flour, baking soda, salt and spices; gradually add to the creamed mixture and mix well. Refrigerate for 2 hours or overnight. On floured surface, roll dough to 1/4 inch thickness. Cut into desired shapes. Place on ungreased cookie sheet and bake at 350* for 8-10 mins or until edges begin to brown. Cool on wire rack.
