Hale Christmas Party 12-14-08

If you want to know how to REALLY put together a party extraordinaire...Just call Shauna. She knows how to do it up right. Those who were lucky enough to come were treated to a beautiful sit-down, fancy shmancy dinner with lovely decorations and great company. I don't know where she found all those classy dinner guests, but I hope they come next year and bring their relatives. Wow. What a shindig! The entertainment was great with a slide show of lovely New Zealand and a play-by play provided by Jon and Sarah that really made us all want to jump on a plane and visit that island. Gorgeous as.... Yep! After the run down by the families, we sang a stunning rendition of Silent Night and ended the evening in prayer. Oh, if you didn't hear, Chad O. brought down his first Elk and he's a doozie. Check out his link:

INTRODUCING...True Birds, Heather & Heidi's Hip New Accessory Line!

Hey fam & friends...you have been asking and waiting and now it is here! For months my girls have been donning my sisters' incredible baby headwear line. And just last night, they launched online after spending the past several months keeping this quiet while placing their irresistible accessory products in the hands of the right buyers/showrooms, magazines and influentials before exposing their idea to the web world.

A quick glance of what the True Birds, http://www.truebirds.com/ web store features

They're in numerous boutiques from Beverly Hills to the N.Y.C., have had some celebrity requests for True Birds from the likes of Mamma Mia's star, Amanda Siegfried as well as the writer of JUNO, Diablo Cody. They also just recently had a request for a meeting with the hair accessory buyer from Henri Bendel which will be held next month.

Thanksgiving Poem by Shauna

Thanksgiving memory

Shauna Orison

There once was a day to give thanks
But Shauna's first hosting 'bout tanked
Babe Rick turned off the heat
So the bird was raw meat
And all wanted to give the boy spanks.

Thankful for the Little Things

THANKFUL FOR THE LITTLE THINGS

by Sherry Brian

I'm thankful for the little things
that touch my life today...
The smell of turkey roasting,
The little ones at play..

I'm thankful for our morning walk,
Where the brisk air kissed our face
And how our spirits are renewed
In this beautiful, sacred place.

I'm thankful for the snow that fell
And sparkled in the light,
And for our children's safety
As they traveled through the night.

I'm thankful for our trials this year
They've brought both joys and tears
I'm thankful for Pat's health today
We have His listening ear.

I'm thankful for Sandy and Allan,
Always the gracious hosts
For bringing us all together
With those we love the most.

As I close this poem of Thanksgiving,
May the Giver from above,
Bless us all through these troubling times,
With hope and peace and love.
