Thanks Lauren for participating and letting us get to know you better. Isn't this fun? Next Friday we will have a double Friday Family Face. We will be learning about another of Marti's girls, Kira & her husband Stewart. I have also received back a questionnaire from John Bunker but I still need John to email me photos. Get with it Johnny boy!!!
Monday will again be show and tell with a Christmas theme. Hopefully I will post photos of my Christmas decor. I have my house decorated now thanks to Danica's help but I haven't taken any photos & I haven't put my boxes away. I also still need to decorate my tree. Hopefully it will get done before Christmas. I just found out yesterday that I have pneumonia, so now I know why I haven't felt good enough to do much for Christmas. Hopefully my new "kick it in the butt" antibiotics work this time and I get feeling better.
I'm hoping that someday I won't be the only one to post for show and tell. So make it your New Years resolution to participate in the Monday Show and Tells.

You keep highlighting my wonderful, amazing sisters, so I get another chance to wax sappy. :) Lauren is the kindest, most loyal, genuine, and thoughtful woman ever. She really can anticipate the needs and wants of others and then strives to meet those needs. Most of all, I admire her faith and dedication to try to do what's right. Love you Lauren!
I agree with Erin 100%. I have had the pleasure of having her live close to me of the past year and a half. It has been so nice getting to know her a women! She is very kind and warm hearted! I love you too wawa!
It is so nice to get to know you all better through these blogs! It amazes me how close you all seem to be... It also warms my heart to see how much you all love & admire your mom. She is an incredible woman - I never realized what a great person she had become until I spent Thanksgiving with a lot of you at your Grandma Joni's several (many) years ago. I've always loved the Bunker clan (and still do), they are amazing people... but your mom is even more. Her example is a testimony of what she believes & it has definately rubbed off on all her kids!! Thanks for being apart of this blog so we can know you all better.
Love,
Andrea
