birth of a KING

*happy birthday to JESUS*

happy birthday to our KING!


oh. the celebration.
how about jedi robes?
we take star wars seriously around here.


we went downtown to the yuletide celebration with
trent's family....i could not believe they had reindeer!
the kiddos were wide-eyed in disbelief when they saw the furry friends.
i was enjoying the moment.


look how nicely all those cousins clean up!
they are adorbs.


we also had lots of time with our other cousin.
look at how cute this fella is right now!
i would like to report that no babies fell as a
result of this picture. :)


now to play with all the presents.
i did do my usual trick after Christmas this year.
i put a few presents up for a later date.
so much fun to have them later!

*in other news*




thank you to my friend, gretchen, for letting me
put this picture on the blog.
she is wearing one of her custom pieces.
look at her sweet daughter! i really value my
friendships with other adoptive mamas.
gretchen has been such a blessing to me.

i have not given up on trying to do an online shop here
on the web site. in fact, i am working on it now.
i am taking the month of january off from custom orders.
however, you can still find a selection of my work at
gallery 116 in fishers.

*adoption update*
just wanted to ask for some prayers.
as many of you know, i cannot share openly about our
adoption or our process here.
however, there are some paperwork delays and
we would treasure your prayers.

thank you!
