My favorite Psalm............ Psalm 23.

Yes, it really is! I have a second favorite but Psalm 23 is my all time favorite Psalm yet.

1 "The Lord is my shepherd I shall not want.

2 He makes me lie down in green pastures.

He leads me beside still waters.

3 He restoreth my soul.

He leads me in the paths of righteousness

for his names sake.

4 Even though I walk though the valley of the

shadow of ,

I will fear no evil,

for you art with me;

your rod and your staff,

they comfort me.

5 You prepare a table before me

in the presence of my enemies;

you anoint my head with oil;

my cup overflows.

6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me

all the days of my life,

and I will dwell in the house of the Lord

forever.

Isn't it pretty? Like I said, it's my all time favorite Psalm so I decided to share it. Well, that is it for right now, so bye!

Here's what we did on Christmas......

Well, after all of us girls going to bed at midnight, that left Mommy and Daddy working on our main present (for all of us to share) really late in the night, so they slept kind of late but we didn't mind because we were having so much fun doing the oddest things (...like we always do). :) But when they did come to get us guess what?! There was the present we share (yes, even Andrew shares it ;)!) We saw a big HOMEMADE DOLLHOUSE!  As they were talking about how they made it Daddy said "You know, the box this came in said 'Mansions in minutes' I've been working on it since before Andrew was born!".



There it is the way we saw it first. Isn't it pretty? But if you think this is pretty .........



Take a look at the inside!



Yes, we really enjoy it! Thank you, Mom & Dad!

I'll tell you what I gave everybody for Christmas now. Well, I gave Tori, Bethi, and Andrew all homemade ornaments. Tori and Bethi got books, Andrew had a homemade knit bib, Tori got a horse picture I had copied out of my horse coloring book, Mom got a CD, and Dad got his favorite picture I ever drew... one of him and Andrew dancing to "Do You Hear What I Hear" (by Todd Agnew. Later Mom asked what his favorite present was, and he answered, "Bri's".  I was glad I had made it!

Its that time of year again...........

Its Christmas time again! I have all my presents ready to be wrapped and put under the Christmas tree. I'll tell you what I gave everybody after Christmas. Mom wanted me to tell on my blog, so I said I would... after Christmas. ;) You see, Mom reads my blog ;)

Guess what! Our aloe is so big that Mom put TINSEL on it! We have been making a LOT of treats lately. White and chocolate pretzels, peanut butter balls, triple treats, carmels, AND chocolate dipped chips! We also have the cinnamon rolls for breakfast and for our later meal there's ham, sweet and mashed potatoes, (also, for Dad, homemade cranberry sauce) corn, and stuffing. (I'm not sure I named it all! And don't worry about all the sweets. They're not all for Christmas, plus were giving some away!) :) Well, another day has started. We are going to be making as much of the food as we can tomorrow so we need to get everything else done today (like wrapping presents!), so I better say goodbye.

Here's what I've been doing......

A little while ago I started teaching the " Ambrielle school" as it is called :). Its pretty fun to teach too! Tori (my "student") says: "I like the stories and that it is basically homeschool." Meaning that she likes the stories I read to her and that she likes it a lot better then she would public school. Of course its not a real school but I like to pretend it is... That's part of why it's fun to teach! :)

Bethi is getting into a lot of mischief lately.... like the time she threw the star of the advent calender away :P. Where is it?!

Andrew is so cute ( I know I say it a lot, I just can't stop)! Anyway, he is already wanting to sit up!!!
