Carrie called me a few weeks before Christmas. "May I stop by? I have something for you." "Sure," I said looking forward to finding out what Carrie was up to. Carrie and her children came to our door bearing a red wire Christmas tree covered in Christmas decorated papers. Each paper was an activity to help us celebrate, anticipate and build our spirits for Christmas. Sing carols, bring a treat to a neighbor, be a secret Santa, do a good deed, read a certain scripture, watch a Christmas movie, tell each other what you love and appreciate about each other. The tree was covered with these ideas and many more. I'll always appreciate Carrie and her family’s proactive thoughtfulness.

50 Memories
Dear Mom,
For your 50th birthday, I decided to compile 50 memories of you from family and friends. I hope this will remind you of some of the wonderful people who love you who's lives you have blessed. Thank you for your example and faith. And thanks for making such a profound impact on so many people which made compiling these memories easier. I did not give many instructions, so each post is unique in it's style. I can't tell you how much I have enjoyed reading these messages, I know you will love them too.
Love,
Jes
