Do you like to give gifts, or receive gifts? I like to do both. Today I thought I would show a few gifts I received for Christmas.
This past weekend my sister and her Dh came for a visit, we always exchange our gifts after Christmas, it gives us something to look forward too in the cold month of January! It has become a tradition.
Years ago, I wanted a fine china Christmas set, when Sister found out she and her husband began giving us a five piece place setting at Christmas.
I love birds, so I chose this pattern by Lenox. I started out with plans for an eight place setting, but Mary wanted me to have service for 12, this setting is now my 11th! Thank you Steve and Mary!

It's 4 p.m. this is how many steps I have taken today, do you think I will make it to 10,000?~wink~
Gift giving has been going on since the beginning of time, but the most precious gift ever given to mankind, was the gift of salvation through Jesus Christ! To which I am so thankful, it is eternal!
Luke:2:11 "For there is born to you this day in the city of David, a Savior, who is Christ the lord.

Not a lot going on around the farmhouse, the ewes are finishing up with lambing, they, and the donkeys decided today would be good day for sunning, I agreed.
Which gave me the idea too go and sit by the pond for some sunning of my own, there is something about water that is so soothing to the mind and soul, this is a place I come to be renewed, many important decisions have been made around this old pond.
Tom is beginning to strut around the barnyard, the girls think he is silly, but handsome.
The hens are laying regularly, there is nothing better than fresh eggs from your own hens.
I see the bluebirds checking out the new birdhouse DH received for Christmas, all of these happenings assure me that spring is not far away! I hope you are having a great week!
Blessings,
Sue
