S's 9 Year Old Portrait

Last Sunday afternoon

H is in the back row and not visible in this pic!

S is wearing a floral dress with a blue background and is looking right at the camera in this photo.

we had the opportunity to watch the girls participate in their Sunday School Christmas Program.  They recited their memory verses, and sang some songs.  Then the Children's Pastor had a Christmas message for us before we enjoyed birthday "cake" for Jesus.  

Contest Winner

This is going to appear like bragging, and I don't want it to, I really want to share this awesome thing that happened.  There is a blog I enjoy, I have several of their products and follow them on Facebook.  They were having a photo contest of scripture in your home, I saw the announcement many times.  On the last day of the contest I decided to enter.  I took pictures of several places where I have scripture in my home and submitted them.  I was surprised and very honored to win some awesome prizes.  http://www.doorposts.com/blog/  if you scroll down to Contest Awards and Giveaway Winners Posted on December 8, 2011 you'll see my photo.
