We watched in awe at the animations, laughed till we cried, and even created a little confusion when we couldn't find the exit and Adam weaved his way around other cars to get us out. Good times!
Did you check out any Christmas lights this year?

Did you check out any Christmas lights this year?
This last year has blessed us with babies...and more on the way.
Our first grandson, Henry, will be 1-year old in January.
Our second grandson, Waylon, is almost 3 months old.
My nephew, Brandon, just turned 1-year old in November. I'm lucky enough to get to babysit him every Wednesday evening.
After 17 years, I no longer work full-time as a 9-1-1 Dispatcher. I went down to part-time (still raking in a lot of hours) and babysit for my supervisor's little one, Jonathan. He is 3-months old.
AND (drum roll please) Logan is going to be a first-time daddy. He and his lady are due in early July. Yay, another grandbaby on the way!

Kathie Lee Gifford talks faith with celebrities, entertainers, and spiritual leaders in new book, The Jesus I Know, now available for purchase.
Former Today show host Kathie Lee Gifford has, for decades, had deep conversations about her faith with anyone who is interested in talking about it. What she discovered early on is that most people want to talk about Jesus: atheists, agnostics, Scientologists, Catholics, Baptists, Pentecostals, Sikhs, Buddhists, and Hindus alike. While some do not share her belief that Jesus is the Messiah, they nonetheless have a universal fascination with Him.
In The Jesus I Know: Honest Conversations and Diverse Opinions About Who He Is, Kathie Lee has assembled a diverse collection of conversations about Jesus, ranging from avowed Christians to those more casually interested in Jesus’ example of living. She begins The Jesus I Know by sharing her earliest memories of Jesus’ role in her life, and often returns to the topic as she asks artists, actors, and faith leaders about their relationship with Him, including such names as journalist Megyn Kelly, actress Kristin Chenoweth, and musician Brian Welch.
“Many are still struggling, just like I am, to overcome our weaknesses, unhealthy dependencies, bitter memories, or deep- seated disappointments,” said Gifford. “Some have suffered through trials and tribulations. Others have dreams that have not yet come true, and many of their questions remain unanswered. No matter where my friends are in their own spiritual journeys, they joined me in my favorite cozy chairs while I asked them, ‘What does Jesus look like to you right now?’”
Publishers Weekly notes that, “Gifford emphasizes the individuality of each person’s story and stresses the diversity of God’s kingdom. She discusses with architect Roger Charles how his attempts to affirm atheism led to a surprise faith, how ‘trying to keep God in my life’ allowed Kris Jenner to overcome the death of her husband, and the long-term process of healing from sexual abuse with actress Cynthia Garrett. Gifford’s probing interviews consistently surprise, entertain, and do a great job of locating themes of personal faith among figures working in industries known for secularism.”
In The Jesus I Know, Kathie Lee presents captivating conversations about a singular Man who lived more than two thousand years ago, never traveled more than one hundred miles from where He was born… and yet managed to change the entire world in His short thirty-three years of life.
“These are people God brought into my life, and they mean a great deal to me for many reasons,” said Gifford. “Each one has a profoundly personal and powerful story to tell about Jesus, a story that cannot be tied up neatly with a bow. Why? Because their stories aren’t finished yet. Neither is mine, and neither is yours. If we are still breathing, we’re not done yet; it’s as simple as that!”
My Review:
I remember watching Katie Lee Gifford alongside Hoda Kotb when they cohosted the Today show. I can't say I was a fangirl, but respected both women for their entertainment value.
I was excited to read Kathie Lee Gifford's newest book, The Jesus I Know, and had it finished in just a few days. I liked how the stories were done in interview form, with Kathie asking the questions and people answering them. In this book, Kathie talks to 23 people and asks about their journey in faith. She delves into the topics of how someone was raised in the church, what moments made them question or firmly believe in their faith, personal hardships a person has went through, and more. Each story is almost like sitting in on a conversation between two people and learning more about them. People of different professions and different walks in faith are featured in this book. Kathie does a good job of engaging conversation and I enjoyed learning about each person's version of Jesus.

Book Synopsis:
Miss Olive Finds Her Furever Winter Wonderland continues the story of a little Italian Greyhound with three legs who is adopted by a loving family in the first book in the series, Miss Olive Finds Her Furever Home. Her adventures continue in Miss Olive Finds Her Furever Friends, where Miss Olive encounters bullying and learns that her superpower is kindness and finds true friendships. In the third book in the trilogy Miss Olive Finds Her Furever Winter Wonderland, Miss Olive wonders about the true meaning of the holidays, discovering the greatest gift of all is the joy of being with her “furever” family and friends and sharing the joy of the holidays with others. Miss Olive is delighted to discover that she not only has a “furever” home with “furever” friends, she also learns the true meaning of joy during the holidays.
Written by Susan Marie, this book is the third in the Miss Olive trilogy in The Doggy Diva Diaries, which is recommended for ages four through nine.
My Review:
I was introduced to the 'Miss Olive' books in 2019 when the first one was released. Back then, I was impressed with the illustrations and writing style. The same can be said for the second book, and now the third.
A hardcover book with cutesy illustrations, Miss Olive Finds Her Furever Winter Wonderland is the third book in the series. It's a perfect read for the winter/Christmas season. Told in rhythmic form, Miss Olive Finds Her Furever Winter Wonderland tells of Miss Olive being excited about the holidays and all the joy it brings. Miss Olive and her mommy decide to take special gifts to the animals at Hannah's Loving Pet Rescue, where Miss Olive herself was rescued. Miss Olive is oh-so-happy to bring joy to the other animals, and even happier when she knows she will always have a "furever" family.
