blessings

The Lord has blessed me with so many wonderful friends. It's neat to see how He provides just what we need at exactly the time that we need it. I'm thankful that the Lord put the Cripe family in our lives. They have blessed us in so many ways, and this week...blessed us once again. Our Christmas present from them was a date night out for dinner and Christmas shopping? Like I said in this Homemaker Monday post, the gift of time really is such a great gift! We went to Applebees for dinner and were able to pick up a few things for Christmas. We both have been super busy, and sometimes it feels like we are running in different directions. It was nice to slow down for an evening and enjoy time together!

Tuesday evening was also a gift to our little Hannah too, because she got some playtime with one of her favorite little friends, Joshua. They play together so well and enjoy each others company. When she got in the car, her heart was pounding from so much excitement. She LOVES Joshua, Ms. Rachel and Mr. Randy! Here are some pics that Rachel took of their evening together:
