JOY

Look at our yard art!!!  This is actually taken at my parents house in Houston, but this JOY is now in our yard in Austin.  My sweet mom & dad made this for me. I love it.  Last Christmas I mentioned that I would love some wooden things for our yard at Christmas.  They listened, and look what they gave me at Thanksgiving!  I just love it, and now at our house, the spotlight shines just right, and you can see the star on the O reflecting on our house. 
I was nervous to leave it out this weekend while we were back in Houston to celebrate Christmas.  We returned last night and thankfully all was intact on the JOY front. Unfortunately and fortunately, our reindeer & Christmas tree yard art had been messed with.  Thankfully, both pieces were still there, but were lying on top of each other in the yard.  Peter said it looks like someone took them and then returned them.  We got home pretty late, so we'll get those back out in the yard this evening.

Love this! I just told Porter this weekend that I want some "classy" yard art. This is definitely nice!

Hey Kate! Got your Christmas card in the mail and finally was able to check out your blog. Vonda has been wanting a "JOY" yard sign for years. I keep thinking that I'll just make it for her, but that hasn't happened yet. Tell Krissy I said hello. Someone we know is trying to live gluten free and posts alot of stuff about it on her blog, which may or may not be of interest to you: http://sarahchisolmmiller.blogspot.com/
