I didn't take a lot of pictures this week--we were all so busy trying to get things done! Dad and I were talking--this was probably one of the most difficult and stressful weeks we've had all year!
Thank goodness, during all of the hustle and bustle, we have moments to reflect on our Savior and the influence of his Birth, Life, Atonement, and Resurrection in our lives. He is the "why" of everything we do--including all the wonderful things in December. And remembering Him always brings a calm spirit.
Josh got this picture of me painting the bottom of our kitchen cabinets. Since we couldn't stain the bottoms, I matched some paint and painted them--it turned out great!
Later in the week we went to Brandon Goss's home. He built all new doors for us. Josh has been helping him and learning a lot! Josh, Elizabeth, and I went there to help put on the third coat of stain.
Brandon built this cool drying rack so we could stain both sides of the doors at the same time.
Friday night we had our Ward Christmas party. I put together a group of talented people who acted out and sang "God Bless Your Way." They did a fabulous job!
Ryan and Sandie Porter, Annette and Ralph Mangan, Gretchen Melton with baby Jo Jo, and Joyana Jensen
Eleven more glorious days until Christmas!
Oh my. You are in the thick of it. So glad you're getting close to having it done.
