When I finished reading, this beautiful antique chandelier was brought in. I couldn't believe it! I had admired it in a local shop, thought it would look wonderful in our entry, but knew I couldn't buy it, so didn't think about it anymore. And here it is in its perfect chippy state sitting in my living room!
Of course, when the girls came over to hug me, I started the ugly cry.
Thank you, Daja, Sarah-Kate, and Serena! You are the absolute best daughters!
And BFF's!
(I miss you, Serena.)
Hopefully, it will be put up real soon. (Now looking for a ceiling medallion.) I'll post before and after photos.
Oh, that just tugged at my heart strings! Don't you just love having amazing, grateful, thoughtful, loving children and grands!!! Glad you are so blessed! Wishing you many more adventures with your family and your Lord in the year ahead!

It's probably best I wasn't there....or I would have ruined it with "here!" LOL!!!!
ReplyDeleteGlad you were surprised. Merry Christmas. I can't wait to see pictures.
@Serena, LOL!!!!! You totally would say "here"! That's hilarious! But, of course it wouldn't have been ruined! You could have ugly cried right along with us! :-)
