How was your weekend? Did you hold those you love a little closer? The heart wrenching tragedy that occurred last Friday in Newtown, CT has turned our thoughts more toward the things that really matter in life. Does it matter that my van isn’t working when my child could leave for school in the morning never to return to me again? No, it certainly does not. Our thoughts and prayers are with all of the families of the victims and for everyone involved in this tragedy. The children who lived through the horror are going to need so many prayers as well. May God comfort and strengthen those in need and carry them during this unimaginably difficult time.I have decided to continue with my post for today as planned although I support the many bloggers who have chosen not to post today as part of a day of silence. Here are the features from last week’s party and thank you to everyone who joined:

Thank you so much, Tonia! I’m so sorry that one of mine linked up twice – I don’t know what I did.
I hope you have a wonderful Christmas with your family, and I know that we all will be holding our children and family a little closer after the Newtown tragedy. Blessings to you!
