    Love your family!!! I’m struggling trying to express the emotion that I’m feeling listening to you talk and watching you all decorate and make supper. They are both sad and happy feelings. Proud of you Lauren. Your a strong woman. Praise the Lord for the strength we can gain through a relationship with Him. Even though we have struggles and hurts in this life…we can still praise Him for all the good as well. God bless and Merry Christmas to you all!!!

    Just a quick hint! Split your butternut squash length wise, scoop out the seeds. Wrap in microwave safe plastic wrap. Microwave between 10 and 20 minutes per 1/2. (Or if large by quarter) scoop out the cooked flesh. Easy peasy! (I microwave mine and flip skin side up and carefully peel the loose skin.) I freeze Butternut squash for side dishes every winter.

Everett is so funny he is about the same age of my granddaughter Charlotte who comes out with the most funny thing's and is very particular when placing items. I'm so glad you had your family to help you and you could sit around and have a beautiful family dinner with the good Australian bunderburg ginger beer. It was beautiful to see you smile Lauren.
    I have sent a card but may not get there now till after Christmas. Love to your family. 🇦🇺❤❤

    What a lovely and joyful day. The boys really seemed to enjoy the activities. The store had some
    unique gifts and those stockings were beautiful. I was wondering if you had used the pots from
    Costco yet. They are great for so many things. Tree, table and decorations made everything look
    warm and cozy. Thank you for sharing your family day. ❤❤❤

    I love it when you visit “ Revive Market “ they have such neat things and it is just peaceful listening to the music as you show us the nice things they carry in their store. Your home looks so beautiful as you have it decorated for CHRISTMAS and it was enjoyable watching each family member pitch in and help and also help with dinner. I’m glad you explained about moving the furniture on wheels, I was saying now Lauren you should not be scooting that piece of furniture out and straining yourself 😅 A great week to all and God Bless 🙏🏻🙏🏻❤️❤️
