I realized this morning that Christmas is 3 weeks from today... how can that be possible??? I am trying to go with the flow this year... trying to leave my "everything has to be perfect" mentality behind. Is is possible... can I turn over a new leaf??? Hmmmm let's see.
.
The gift I want to share with you today is the gift of family. I have been blessed with a great Christian family... my parents did a great job raising us (me & my 2 sisters). Mom & Dad, you are truly a gift from God! We are not your "typical" family of today, which makes it even more of a gift. We have laughed through the good times... we have cried through the bad times... and we have laughed & cried through both at the same time!
This picture was taken at Thanksgiving... me & my baby sis, Chele... she is a sweet joy in my life!
These two pics are of my older sis, Renee, and her 2 girls... Lindsay above & Brooke below. Na, that is what our family calls Renee, has been my inspiration many times throughout my life. Her sweet girls are like my own or as close as I will ever have... I miss them so much with not being in their lives on a daily basis anymore.
No, stamping today, but if you would share a memory of the gift of family with me... I would love it!
with a grateFUL HEART, carin

You have a beautiful family!!! How blessed we all are for the loved ones in our lives.
Your photos are precious-even more so since I know and love all of the beautiful ladies in the photos. My family has been through a lot over the past year-sister's illness, loss of my job, and the death of my mom, but we are strong because we have each other and GOD.
