This gift from my dear friend Pammi just takes my breath away!
Thank you ever so much!



And this wonderful gift is from my very dear friend Rosemary.
Thank you also to Rosemary for fixing the dates
on some of the ornaments on this page.


Here is Rachel's school picture from this year, she has grown up way too much, sigh.


I thought I would also share Mark's picture from soccer this past year on here as well, even though this is Rachel's page LOL




Jingle Bells
Written by John Pierpont, 1859


Dashing through the snow
In a one-horse open sleigh
Through the fields we go
Laughing all the way.
Bells on bob-tail ring
Making spirits bright
What fun it is to ride and sing
A sleighing song tonight.



Jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way,
Oh what fun it is to ride
In a one-horse open sleigh,
Oh, Jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way,
Oh what fun it is to ride
In a one-horse open sleigh.




A day or two ago
I thought I'd take a ride
And soon Miss Fanny Bright
Was seated by my side;
The horse was lean and lank
Misfortune seemed his lot,
We ran into a drifted bank
And there we got upsot.




Jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way,
Oh what fun it is to ride
In a one-horse open sleigh,
Oh, Jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way,
Oh what fun it is to ride
In a one-horse open sleigh.




A day or two ago
The story I must tell
I went out on the snow
And on my back I fell;
A gent was riding by
In a one-horse open sleigh
He laughed at me as
I there sprawling laid
But quickly drove away.




Jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way,
Oh what fun it is to ride
In a one-horse open sleigh,
Oh, Jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way,
Oh what fun it is to ride
In a one-horse open sleigh.




Now the ground is white,
Go it while you're young,
Take the girls along
And sing this sleighing song.
Just bet a bob-tailed bay,
Two-forty as his speed,
Hitch him to an open sleigh
and crack!
You'll take the lead.



Jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way,
Oh what fun it is to ride
In a one-horse open sleigh,
Oh, Jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way,
Oh what fun it is to ride
In a one-horse open sleigh.

Christmas Blessings From Angel Laura

A small gift for Rachel's Christmas page and also for your Mark.
God bless you dear ones.

Lisa, Angel Stephanie's Mom, sent us this Christmas card so we just had to include it on here
since Rachel still really likes the Looney Tunes.










Rachel originally drew this card above for Angel Jesse's web page,
but since she also really likes the Redwall Series,
she asked if we could include it here as well.
