When we travel for 10 or 12 hours, over the river and through the woods...to grandmother and grandfather's house, this is the romantic porch that welcomes us at the end of a long tiring journey. Today is the wedding anniversary of my mother and father in law. December is a special month for them and I thought it would be so fun to feature the ones who gave my husband the gift of life. For that I have undying gratitude. It is truly a gift that continues to give!
This is what my mother in law had to say about their darling front porch. "The Christmas Season is such an important time of the year to me. It is the time of year that I met my husband and then 2 years later we married, just in time to get our own little tree for our very first Christmas together. My husband and I both enjoy the lights of Christmas so much and enjoy sharing them with our neighborhood, by lighting up our porch and the front of our house, we are sharing goodwill with them. Our neighborhood is so pretty right now.
When one lights their porch and house, it seems to inspire others too. I believe because Jesus is the light of the world, that is why we use so many sparkling dancing lights at Christmas time to show our joy of the season."So Mom and Dad, thank you for being willing to share your romantic porch with us. Happy Anniversary. I'm sure you'll celebrate. Most of all, thank you that your family included my very own "Mr. RP"! I love you too!

Thank you, Rachel, for all your kind words. I enjoyed seeing our porch. :~). We did enjoy our anniversary so much. We went to the Billy Graham Library last evening where it is decorated for Christmas and took their tours of the old home and museum. It was worth our effort to drive up there to see.
I would love to decorate the front of our house, but as we live 1/4 mile off the road, there is no one to see it! So we just enjoy other peoples who live near the road as we drive by!
Thank you for sharing your in-laws beautiful porch!
Blessings!
We went nuts with the lights this year....I love them. Going for a walk after dark and enjoying everyone elses displays = big fun! Have the Merriest of Christmas's xoxo~Kathy @ Sweet Up-North Mornings...

Rachel,
I just found your blog. What a beautiful tribute that is to your in laws and your husband. How blessed they are to have you in their life loving them so. I loved the story of your in-laws meeting and then marrying in time for their fist Christmas tree together. What a wonderful Christmas blessing your blog is to me. Merry Christmas.
