Tis the Season

So the last few years we have what we call Candy Cane a house. Its like TPing a house with candy canes and dropping off presents for a family. We are all set to do that and when i was taking a friend of HaiLees home in conversation she was not doing Christmas this year because they could not afford a tree. I sent posting to my facebook and have had remarkable response from family and friends. With their help we are able to sponsor 2 families this year. I cant help but feel so thankful for my many blessings that i have from my family and friends. I know we have been in the same situation as this family and was blessed by Santa to be able to have gifts for my kids and a tree from a friend. To this day we use the same tree, it is what we call the Turnblom Tree and everyday when i turn on the lights it lights up our house and i am so thankful for it. I have recently moved offices and not knowing the people in my new office they have offered to donate stuff and provide a tree for the family. I am thankful for everyone!!!
Thanks again for all the support and love this holiday season!!!

BreAnna turns 18!!

Every year around this time things gets so busy that i forget to take time for my self and ponder what i am so thankful for. BreAnna turned 18 on the 14th of December. Were has the time gone with her, it was like yesterday she was born. I know we all say that but really i will be missing her childhood days. Its so wierd to know that she is considered an adult but in my eyes she will always be my baby. I can really tell that our relationship has grown so much and i have to watch my self to treat her more like an adult and not a child. i know that my days are numbered with her as well as far as living with me. She is finding her way and am so excited for her to do what ever makes her happy and become. Thank you BreAnna for being my daughter and my friend, I love you!!!!
