The kids and I stopped in to decorate mom's room for Christmas on Thursday. I took a painting in for her that had hung in Grandma Knopf's living room for as long as I can remember. I always loved it.
It's a winter scene. Everything is black and white. The snow, trees and frozen creek. The sky is a heavy with unsnowed, snow. Then smack in the middle is a red house, the roof is deep in snow. It's beautiful! But then I love winter.
When I showed the painting to mom, she got this huge grin on her face and I'm pretty certain that she remembers it.
I wound a string of white lights around the painting and now it has a lovely glow.
Last evening all our kids came home for our family Christmas gathering. It was so much fun. We had a couple birthday's in the mix as well. Grandpa and Blake have birthdays on the 21st and the 23rd. The kids and I gave Steve an ice fishing shanty.
This morning all the kids that were available came back for brunch and then the guys had some quality guy time while us girls ran in to the coffee shop where Phebe works.
This afternoon Matt's and us went in to the nursing home to see grandma. Dad was there too.
Now it's evening and the house is quiet with only six of us left here at home. I end the day with a thankful heart. It has been good.
