The Leprechauns came to visit

St. Patrick's Day came with some fun surprises!  Those silly Leprechauns moved our furniture around, sprinkled Leprechaun dust and left their footprints on our seats, BUT they also left us some yummy treats!!!!  Chocolate, Lucky Charms and some Leprechaun Floats!

For dinner we ate in green food style..sandwiches on GREEN rolls, GREEN grapes, KIWI, GREEN Caesar salad and Shamrock Shakes from McDonalds!  Fun night celebrating together as a family. 


I sure enjoy the time we spend around the dinner table sharing our experiences of the day, laughing and being together over a good meal.  I find that some of our best conversations are had here.  I hope our children will treasure this time we get to spend together...if not now, maybe they will appreciate it later when they are grown and have children themselves....after all, "The fondest memories are made when gathered around the table."

Something Sweet from my Girl

 

 

In Throwback Thursday fashion, I found this picture of a 4 yr old Kaylie.  We were snowshoeing with the family.  We went off of the trail and got a little lost.  We followed Grandma until we could find the trail.  There was alot of uphill climbing & tossing Kaylie ahead of us to get to the trail again.  From there on all we heard whenever we would snowshoe was " Don't go off the trail Grandma."  Hopefully a good lesson for this litte one to show her that eventhough you can go off the trail, its not very easy to get your way back to the trail.  The safety provided by the trail is like the gospel of Jesus Christ and  is comforting and a sure way to get to the end of our journey, our Heavenly home.  The good news is that eventhough you go off the trail you can always get back if you work hard bcecause Jesus has provided a way back!  I'm grateful for the lessons taught in every day life and for the joy of a wonderful family who supports me no matter what!  Let us all try to remember to not go off the trail!!
