Honored With 2 Awards!!!

I have been honored with two awards by my fellow blogger friends!  First of all, I want to thank Denise for giving me the BFF (Blog Friend Forever) Award.  She has been such a wonderful friend to me her in the cyber world.  We live pretty close actually.  Maybe one day we will meet in the real world!  Who knows...  It's just really nice to have someone who understands the whole adoption thing.  If you have biological children & then adopt others – it is a wonderful thing!  However, it's an entirely different thing when you have been blessed solely with children from your heart instead of your womb.  Denise gets it.  I'd like to give this award to her, but since she already has it I felt I should share why she's such a great friend as I did above.  Thanks, Denise, for being such a great friend & for sharing how deeply you love your children with us on your blog!

So, now to honor others with this award.  I'm going to give it to 2 other great friends...

First of all I'd like to give it to JoAnn.  She has been a great encouragement to me many times, and I doubt that she even knows it.  Thanks, JoAnn!  Sorry I don't comment on your blog much, but I read it & pray for you.

I'd also like to give this to my long time, real life friend DeeDee.  BFF's in blog world & the real world totally ROCKS!  Okay, so that's not a great Christian term, but it fits.

I was honored by JoAnn  (different JoAnn then above) with the Spirit of Christmas Award.  I LOVE Christmas!  I have so many fond memories of Christmas' past and I'm enjoying the season so much this year.  My Gigi is such a Christmas person, too.  Every day we think of something else to decorate.  It's funny how many things she comes up with!  Thanks, JoAnn!

So, I'd like to pass this one along to Heidi.  She has a beautiful blog which includes many Christmas contests and entries.  It's a really fun read!  Make sure to visit.

I'd also like to give it to Stacy.   Her blog just makes me want to start singing Christmas Carols & drinking Hot Chocolate!  I was so touched by her post of how baking Christmas cookies for the first time with her children played a key role in enjoying her role as a mother.  Make sure you read it!  (It's in her Blogger School Assignment #10.
