Beautiful Star

I missed a week, but here is another post. On New Year's day, our family hosted the Mullen's Christmas party. It was a small but nice gathering. We had a yummy potluck dinner followed by some serious wii games.

This is the gift that our family received:

What a perfect gift. It is just so beautiful--and we can leave it up all year long to enjoy. Thank you so very much for thinking of us!
