Early and Mid-Winter fun at the Mitton's House.


"Glory to God in the Highest and on earth, peace, goodwill toward men."

"For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior which is Christ the Lord"
"Make a joyful noise unto the Lord all ye lands"

  "The people which sat in darkness saw great light; and to them which sat in the region and shadow of death light is sprung up."



"Away in a manger no crib for a bed..."
All of us really enjoy baking Christmas goodies. It is so fun to see how a few goodies will put a smile on a lonely person's face


Reading jokes out of a joke book...Enough said:) The Bible does say that laughter is like a medicine!!

Learning to play "Settler's of Catan. It's now a family favorite!


Matching...well, at least we're coordinating.

More Matching!



Time for kissing princess!!
Enjoying good times with neighbors. Thanks Mrs. and Mr. R. for a great belated Christmas party!


Hanging out at Bemis Hill. Coziest place at the Hill!

 "Praise ye the Lord: for it is good to sing praises unto our God; for it is pleasant; and praise is comely"

Mom's Birthday!!

"Jesus Saves" Verse 1 Hear the heart of heaven beating, Jesus Saves, Jesus Saves. And the hush of mercy breathing, Jesus Saves, Jesus Saves. Hear the hosts of angels sing, glory to the new born King, and the sounding joy repeating, Jesus Saves. 
Mom's willing waitresses...Joanna was one too, but we didn't get a picture of them all together.

Verse 2  See the humblest hearts adore him, Jesus Saves, Jesus Saves. And the wisest bow before him, Jesus Saves, Jesus Saves. See the sky alive with praise, Melting darkness in it's blaze, there is life forever more in Jesus Saves!
A special neighbor gave us this unique plate to use specifically for birthdays.

Verse 3 He will live, our sorrows sharing, Jesus Saves, Jesus Saves. He will die our burdens bearing, Jesus Saves, Jesus Saves. "It is done!" will shout the cross, Christ has paid redemption's cost, While the empty tomb's decalring, Jesus Saves.

Birthday Roses from Dad.

Verse 4 Oh, to grace how great a debtor, Jesus Saves, Jesus Saves. All the saints will shout together, Jesus Saves, Jesus Saves. Rising up so vast and strong lifting up Salvation's song, the redeemed will sin forever, Jesus Saves!
Mom's new sewing machine...A Janome:)!!


Chorus Freedom's calling, chains are falling, hope is dawning, bright and true. Day is breaking, night is quaking, God is making all things new...Jesus Saves!

Mommy's birthday dessert, Mint Brownie Pie.

Playing human foosball .

Mom's special birthday breakfast, Bing cherries, cinnamon toast, blueberry-honey yogurt, a soft pillow, and coffee(that tastes like milk:) made just right by Dad.
Loves those around her
Incentive to live for God
N ever ending source of joy
Dear and near to our hearts
Attentive to the needs of those around her.

We love you so much Mom. Truly you are a woman whose price is far above rubies
