Snippets of Christmas 2013

-
We had a merry Christmas at the 
Gibson House.
This post will be
random pictures
to ensure that we 
remember this year.
These grandchildren are
growing up so fast that we
don't want to forget 
each and every stage.  
Aunt Mandy couldn't figure
out why everyone wanted to take
pictures of her. 
David and Aaron enjoying their stockings.
Hulk water found in stocking is soooo good! 
Is that movie star David?
Beautiful Cora enjoyed her first Christmas.
The baby from her stocking
is just like the ones that her
Sweetie uses in her Cradle Roll Class.

Pearls are appropriate Christmas attire.
Please note Kelly's hand
in this picture because this is
the only picture of her.
Let's all open our gifts together.
Caleb's National Geographic books.
We have a reader!!!

Still practicing her unwrapping skills.
Even the big kids enjoyed their presents. 
David would have been happy with
just his Chuggington trains.  
 The adults all bought
each other's gifts at thrift stores
or garage sales.
It was FUN!
Here Adrian gets a print
of Pittsburgh.  
Another baby!
Wish I could have
caught her expression when
she first saw it.
(Kelly's leg and boot--
we do love her, just
didn't get any photos).
I think she might just
be getting into this.
Sulley makes this boy smile!
 At one point (not posing for a picture)
Ducca and I were surrounded
by grandchildren.
 Life is good…..
 …..very, very good!

And the aftermath!

What a Merry Christmas!

Love Present from a Friend

One of my favorite things in the whole wide world is to receive a Love Present . The definition of a Love Present is a gift that someone gives you for no special occasion, but just because. My sweet friend, Claudia, came by the other day with the cutest dishes. She had found them at an antiques store and she said they just looked like me. Don't they make a beautiful display in my kitchen bookshelves? Thank you, Claudia, for the dishes, but most of all for the thought behind the Love Present .

Skippyjon Jones and Kohl's

I'm not sure if I should thank my friend Mindy for letting me know that Kohl's is featuring Skippyjon Jones items in their stores, or whether I should send her the bill for the items I purchased. I actually restrained myself (although all items purchased are not displayed in the picture.) There are many more Skippy Jon Jones items at your local Kohl's. Let me just give Kohl's  and their Kohl's Cares program a shout out. I am so impressed with their commitment to local charities benefitting children. All the items above were $5.00 each with the total proceeds going to charity. "Kohl's Cares thanks you for over a decade of dedication and hundreds of millions of dollars raised.  100% of the net profit from the sale of this item will be donated to support kids' health and education initiatives in communities nationwide. Since 2000, more than $180 million has been raised through our Kohl's Cares cause merchandize program." For more information, vi...

Bluebonnets

Texas Bluebonnets and Spring are synonymous! What a beautiful display of God's beauty! My friend, Lea, gave me a beautiful silver bluebonnet charm created by James Avery . You can see it by clicking the link above. I love wearing it because it reminds me of my roots. I still remember the Bluebonnet Song that I learned in elementary school. Bluebonnets, Bluebonnets, With your coats so blue Your bright eyes are shining In the morning dew. They say you're a dolly Offered for the rain And Texas wears blue Bluebonnets in the Spring. Anyone else sing that song as a child?
