Joe is OK!

Today (Dec. 13, 2011) We got a short email from Joe who is serving his mission right now in Liege, Belgium, saying:

"Terrorist attack in my city happened today, no big deal we're safe and sound, a few people were killed but we are fine. Love you much."

I went online to find the details and here are some headlines:

Liege attack: Gunman kills three in Belgium

another says:

Belgium attack: grenades thrown at bus-stop in Liege - Tuesday 13 December 2011

We're SO grateful Joe & his companion and all the other missionaries are safe!

Christmas time again!

So, I made my SNOWMAN CHRISTMAS TREE again this year -

I LOVE IT!

I did get a new topper for the tree - this one is SO cute!!

I found it at - of all places, Big Lots - $9.00

Here are some other decorations that are up in our house this year

And, of course, the "Paris France" Christmas tree

(in honor of Joe)

I love Christmas time!

It's the best time of the year!!
