-We had a wonderful Thanksgiving in Arkansas filled with lots of family time. It was the first time we had been in Arkansas for Thanksgiving since before D was born. I was able to spend Thursday helping my mom and her mom prepare a meal. I am so blessed to have both of those women in my life.

| My Maw Maw's dumplings. I learned after I got married that most people don't have dumplings at Thanksgiving. Dressing without dumplings??? They are missing out! |
 |
| Pumpkin Pies |
We also were able to spend time with my brother and his family on Friday and Saturday. D loves his time with his cousins and I love watching them together.

| B did not get neglected. :) He received plenty of attention. |
-I have been reading the Femina blog for a while. I love the way the posts encourage and challenge me to rise up and be the wife and mother God has equipped me to be. Today’s post was timely for me. I hope you enjoy it as well.
-December is going to be a little different for Rubies and Rewards. I will start a series called “25 Days of Christmas.” Each day I will post an idea for focusing the holiday season on Christ or a reflection of some aspect of the Christmas season. The ideas aren’t time consuming or costly and I hope you can implement some of them in your family celebration this year. I would also love to share some of the things you do with your families during this holiday season. Send me a picture and will share your ideas for focusing the season on Christ with Rubies and Rewards.
-D is at Mother’s Morning Out and B is napping, so I am going to turn this computer off and finish the Christmas decorating. Happy Tuesday friends!
Oh, we have dumplings!! Except us "yankees" just call them chicken and noodles. Remember those? :) I made them last night for a friend who had a baby, and I had to go to FOUR stores to find them in stock! Someone is catching onto my secret! :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful Thanksgiving time we had. Larry and I enjoyed our time in Mississippi with you all for Drew's 3rd bday. But to be able to have you all here for Thanksgiving with Lance and family was a special blessing for me!
ReplyDeleteI didn't see this comment until just now ... cracking me up because I just said the same thing on Kristin's blog. I LOVE LOVE LOVE your chicken and noodles and would like some now. ;)
