Happy New Year to all of you!

What a year 2009 was…  Next week I’ll be featuring some popular posts and recaps for 2009, so feel free to visit every day…

We were incredibly blessed this week with a new van.  It was a surprising, and gorgeous, answer to prayer.  Surprising because we have really only just started praying and hadn’t started looking – and God wonderfully provided a van – PURPLE to boot.  Okay – it’s a deep purple – but it matches my new winter coat and my favorite pens, so I’m a stylin’ soccer mom. LOL

Spending the day with my family – it’s SNOWING outside – and beautiful!  We played in the snow yesterday – the girls LOVED it – build little snowmen and threw snowballs.  Georgie was making snow angels and Curly got into a big snowball fight with her Uncle Robbie and cousins, Larry & Moe…

We’ll be watching the Rose Bowl Parade today (love it) and praying that the Buckeyes WIN the Rose Bowl!

GO BUCKS!

Hoping to make a cheese ball dip and some other appetizer goodies.  Taking it easy and enjoying each other.

    We still haven’t had any proper snow, despite other parts of the country being brought almost to a standstill. Heck, even other parts of our county got enough to slow things down.

    The most we have had so far is a very light covering that was gone within a few hours.

    Congrats on the van…what a blessing! Enjoy your relaxing day! We will spend it with my FIL, his birthday is today! I am a bit jealous of your snow. It snowed about 5 minutes here on Christmas morning…that is it. Now we just have cold and that is just not fair! :)

    I like the look of your blog with the journal open like that.
    Thanks for reminding me about the Rose Parade. I want to watch it too. Its not 9:00 yet here. Our team is playing at 10:00 so I might not see too much Parade.
    Oh, Congrats on the new van. Wow, I bet Purple is your favorite color.
