And that is why Lilyana Shapirta Hector (meaning beautiful lily) is beautiful, gorgeous, and simply precious! =)

Now we come to the post of my little niece's baptism! That morning started with a nice warm bath! She loves to get a bath, which is a good thing, because she would be having water poured on her head three times by her grandfather later on that morning! =)Here are two pictures of her stunning gown for the very special occasion! Emma and Lilyana! <3

Me, playing some songs on the piano....and no, I cannot play very well!

Two sisters: Emma and Virgina Grace

Jess and the sweet pea! <3

Look at those eyes!

Which way, which way?!?!?

Lilyana and her daddy ready for the big day!

Her proud mother and father!

And so, her grandfather, my father, James McDonald, baptized her!

Praying God's blessings upon her!

Random Photo: (I'm good at those, eh?!?) An Elder sits among the women, a thorn among the roses! =)

    Okay I just love that gown! ( I know it is a bit odd for a guy to say something of the sort, but I still love it.):) That Lord's day was very enjoyable and filled with a many memories.:)

    You cannot live without art. Very nice pictures, and yes you too Matt.:) I continue to enjoy the posts, and love the memories that are being refreshed when looking through the blog. Thanks!

    Love from the out-laws in California.:)

    That gown is incredibly gorgeous!! and I don't think it's slightly creepy guys say things like that! It's just their own personal opinion! It indeed was filled with many memories!

    Matt did/does a great job with the camera! Going through the post bring back so many fond memories which end up making me want to do it all over again! A good thing and yet not so good. But, I know that we shall see all of y'all again soon! =)

    Sending my love to all of y'all out that way! <3

Added this one, just cause I like it best! =) What I've been working on, because these are much needed very soon! The Spare- oom is for my sister and brother-in-law. They are putting it above their baby's room which is also the guest room/stash room/sewing room! Couldn't decide which one I liked better....=P 1.... and 2! This is for my brother and soon-to-be Sister-in-law! I've made three of these and have gotten a good report...so this is what I give when people are getting married! =) Now to go conquer my Saturday, which it is now snowing after a HUGE rain/thunder storm last night. Anyone else have as random weather as we have?!?!? Y'all come back now, ya hear?!?!?

So, as promised, here is PART 2 of our crazy weather! Snow cone? THE SUN IS SHINNING!!!! The three who were brave enough to venture into the great unknown! William and his "guys". Pulling Em out of a drift! Our lane.... The neighbor was kind enough to move the snow to the sides of the rode....thus making HUGE walls on either side! In the country there a LOTS of new games to play. THIS one is called FIND THE DRIVEWAY! Em in a drift.... One happy and rather cold girl! He's not sad.... he's a happy boy! Emma, cooking in style..... Abby stayed inside..she thought it was a better view from the window. Is there anything better then a nice cup of Chai tea while looking out at a frozen wasteland? Some vanilla (I know, very random picture) to make.... White and milk chocolate cookies for the kind neighbor who shoveled our drive!! Abby reading by a nice warm fire.....still not ready to go outside! Abby wrote a blog-post yesterday...I thought it was really cute and I'm su...

Well, here I am after a FULL day of snow, sun, family, friends, fun, and sweet fellowship! Wow! What can I say....it was cold, fun, crazy and did I mention it was cold? Our day started with sauteing the onions and garlic. Adding the beef and other such stuff to make a great southern Chili! Of course we had to make one not so spicy for those who cannot tolerate the taste of a Chipotle pepper! So, below we have Jessica (who did go out and play in the snow) stirring the stuff in a BIG pot! When I woke up the sun wasn't out....I was pretty bummed but was okay about it since we were going to have fun. The sun came out right before the Evans family arrived!! *bliss* God must have sent a blessing my way! Today is Jedidiah Evans Birthday, so we all got to sing for him!! Here is the delicious cake that Grace made for him!! Abby and Cara having fun by their secret snowball stash! =) I told Josiah he looked like he came out of a magazine....whatchya think?!?! Some of the girls stop for a pi...
