Oceanna is 3!

Three years old!  And an artist already :)

We love her skirt!

One of the latest to go to Petals.

We wrapped presents today.  This might be the earliest I've ever wrapped! It's usually Christmas Eve before I get myself to do it.

Found this little tag from Judson and Rachel in among the wrapping paper <3

 

It's Almost Christmas!

One of the wreaths that went to Petals

My Christmas cactus bloomed so pretty!

The front door for this Christmas.  The swag stayed for a while, but the birds moved in again.  They like to hide in it, and then when we open the door, they fly inside.  It's an exciting time catching it and getting it back out of the house.  So the swag is inside now.

Thanksgiving 2022

This was a pumpkin grown by Isaac and Jen and Oceanna in their garden this summer.  It was so cute, I made the little tag to go with it for the table.

Thanksgiving was very quiet this year but we had a good day.  Mark smoked chicken and ribs and I baked Isaac's pumpkin with some cranberries.

There's a reason everybody makes pie with pumpkin.  It needs some sweetener!  Fortunately, Swerve makes brown sweetener so this combo of pumpkin, cranberries, the pumpkin seeds, and pecan turned out really good
