I want to take a moment to say Merry Christmas to all my dear readers! Â I can’t thank you enough for coming by to visit me day after day and keeping this blog going by your support and encouragement. Â I couldn’t do any of this without all of YOU out there, faithfully stopping by and I want you to know I don’t take that for granted. Â You could choose to do so much more with your time and the fact that so many of you are so faithful to read just warms my heart.
I keep goofing up on the date….I guess I’m looking forward to 2016, so your emails will say 2016. 🙂

You can just see Lauren’s baby bump in this picture from Thanksgiving. Â She’s due the end of April and we couldn’t be more excited to welcome a new baby girl to the family. Â Yep, she’s having another girl and she is naming her Iris, after our sweet mama. Â I think that is the sweetest thing ever and we can’t wait to meet her next year!
From my family to yours, we wish you all a very Merry Christmas! Â We are spending the day together and I hope you are doing the same with your families as well. Â It’s a day to reflect on all the things we have to be thankful for and for all the meaning this season brings to our lives, celebrating the Christ’s birth and how personal that is for each of us.
I’m so grateful for another wonderful year in 2015 and so look forward to what the New Year 2016 holds!
I’ll be back on Monday to share an annual year end link party that I have been doing for many years, the Top Projects of 2015, where other bloggers will be linking up and sharing their very best projects they completed this year. It’s always a fun one, so stop back by on Monday!Â
Merry Christmas to you and your lovely family. I love seeing pictures of your Mom and Dad. I miss my parents dearly, especially at this time of year. Enjoy your holidays. P.S., I love reading your blog.

Your always interesting and enjoyable blog has entertained and educated me, had me laughing and at times shedding a few tears for many years and I’m looking forward to many more. Thanks so much!

Can’t wait to welcome little Iris in April! Just love your blog Rhoda and your family. Will you have any family Christmas pictures to share? Give my very best to all in your family! Happy New Year to you all!
Diane, those are coming tomorrow, although I have to say….they are mostly Parker! 🙂
Such a truly lovely family, Rhoda. I can’t help but send an especially Merry Christmas to your Mama and Daddy, and also to the rest of your handsome family.
