Christmas Time at the Frier Home

I don't even know what to say about this couple OR their home! We have known these precious people for over 20 yrs. They live in a beautiful home in Washington and they LOVE to entertain..... Family and friends a like! Christmas is the most special time of the year for the Friers! I have NEVER in my life seen a home any more decorated or with any more love and thought going into it... They LOVE it, and love sharing it with those they love.... After church Sunday night we were invited to a lovely sit down dinner with a couple of other couples. We had such a great time!

Last night I had to go back over to take them something, and when I did I HAD to take some more pictures..... It was fun to get the "grand tour" from room to room. I KNOW that I missed so much detail but just had to share what I did see. Hope you enjoy these photos.... Also for those who have been in this home at Christmas time I am sure it will take you back.....

Thanks, Jim and Pris for being who you are and sharing your lovely home with SO many through the years !

She told me last night that she will have the grandkids count the Nativities around the house...... a hint.....there are a LOT of them !!!!

An Unusual Family Picture !!

These are some DEAR friends that are members of our church . They were in the Christmas play a couple of weeks ago and they grabbed me ( and my camera) for a quick shot before changing....
I decided to play around with the picture and LOVED the results....thought I would share it today!

Baby Dedication

Yesterday was a special day for this SPECIAL family! This family has been members of the Spanish church for over four yrs. We have watched their little family grow and their oldest son,Angel has gone clear through the nursery and "graduated" :O(

Little Daniel finally arrived and we are so thrilled to watch him grow up.

During the service yesterday afternoon little Daniel was dedicated to the Lord. This DOESN'T mean he is saved and going to Heaven.... It means that his parents have committed to raise him to love and serve the Lord.

Congratulations....We love you!

This is also the sweet lady that made THESE

Nana's Little "Helper"

During the 5 showings of the Christmas play each yr. I take THOUSANDS of pictures, to ensure the right lighting and I just want to make sure that I get the best pictures I can for the church website. SO while MANY others are cleaning up and putting away from the play, I spend the afternoon in the nursery with my laptop editing pictures. If there are parents that have babies that need to sleep I offer to be in the nursery and listen for their little ones while they are working. Bro. Joe and Charity were helping so I had the privilege of keeping little Aaron. He woke up and played happily for quite a while, then started to get a little fussy. I put him in the chair with me and he was SO good. I think he liked watching all the bright colors.... WE got a LOT done !!!
Thank you, Aaron !!!

A new "Pillow"

We stay at church Sunday afternoons. Living 30 miles away and with Myron's responsibilities, he actually gets a longer nap if we do stay. Also the last several yrs., I have been working in the Spanish nursery SO.... Myron needs a pillow for his nap.... the nursery actually has a couple of "cow" pillows that Myron has come to the nursery and borrowed every Sunday for YEARS. Pris sees a sleepy Myron returning the pillow to the nursery every week when he gets up, AND decided that he needed a NEW pillow. Last weekend she brought Myron a surprise!

He even got a blanket to go with it!

SO cute AND SOOOOO SOFT !!! Happy Napping, Myron !!!

Precious Little Gift

What does a lady do while she is "patiently" waiting for a baby (that is overdue) to arrive??? Well, one of our Spanish ladies sat and crocheted little bags to give to friends that have been praying for her and her baby!
What a sweet idea !! When she brought the baby to the nursery the first Sunday she gave each of us these adorable bags :O)

Thank you, Mildred !!!

And congratulations of the safe arrival of little Daniel !!
