Mom and I made these hotdog buns for farmer's market… 

 Valentines Day cookies... made by Maggie and me.

Mom is such an artist.

Deliciousness 101... Anna made these really good pies

My Brother

My Brother

There once was a boy

his parent's pride and joy.

He was strong as an ox,

as quick as a fox.

He was bundles of fun, 

an expert with the gun.

School wasn't the best,

but he did well on the test.

Smart as a coon,

he'd know the answer soon.

God was his number one,

his family second unto none.

He was happy and free, 

could shinny up a tree.

I am happy to say,

his birthday is in May.

He happened to be

my brother, who was kind to me

Happy New Year everybody....Have a good one...

                                                  

Today we were at PETCO....What you suppose we we got?  And guess which one we got?

This is our new addition....  Isn't he the most adorable bird ever....  He was a bit scared at first and didn't move.  But he enjoys sitting on Mom's finger.

Mama is very happy about her new pet.

It's six days till Christmas! Isn't that so exciting?
Tommorrow there is a youth banquet we plan to attend. My very first one and I'm looking forward to it. And few of us are getting together to play music there and I think that will be enjoyable for everybody.
Then on Wednesday, we plan to play as a family at the Nursing Home  and at the Mennonite Manor, and we'll have  some friends singing along too. And afterwards we are going to have fun ...
On Monday we have a piano recital... and that should be interesting ... Since I don't especially enjoy playing solos
 Anyway I want to wish all of you a very Merry Christmas! Hopefully you all have an enjoyable one ...
And I want to wish my friends in Ireland a special Merry Christmas! Miss you guys!
