Lynn and I had gotten pregnant after one year of trying. Found out the twins were due on Christmas Day. We were so excited! I was 32 and he was 35. Then... bad, bad news. We found out we had a blighted ovum. Had to have a D&C. So, so sad.... We had been spending Christmas with my family (Mom, Dad, and brother), but we needed to heal that Christmas. So we rented a "slope-side" cabin at Mentone. It was SO COLD! It snowed and we had a white Christmas! We skied the little bitty run many times! We listened to Eric Clapton and grilled steaks and ended up having a blast! We actually met a friend we knew from Birmingham and sat on our deck and enjoyed the wonderful cold weather. We had Christmas with my family the next day. And many years later, God blessed us with our very precious Brooke!
ReplyDeleteYES PLEASE! I love your artwork..and my walls could use a little love!
ReplyDeleteFavorite Christmas memory is making our candy house! And I've passed it along to my kids...we just did it last night! I've been doing this for 20 years and just love it! I also love visiting live Nativitys..already been to one, and another one closer to Christmas!
You are too generous to be giving away such great artwork!!!
The best memory for me was being with my family singing Christmas Carols, going to Midnight Mass on Christmas Eve and on Christmas Day we would go and visit all my cousins.
ReplyDeleteAt the age of 31 my favorite memory/tradition is my mom, my 2 sisters, and I still wear matching PJ's on Christmas morning!
ReplyDeleteI love ALL of your paintings and would be happy with either one!
My favorite Christmas memory is the tradition that all of my extended family gets together the Saturday before Christmas. It is so special to remain close to all of my cousins and now my cousins' children. Family is the most special part of the holiday season.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite Christmas memory is that we spend every Christmas eve night at my grandmothers house, AND we always watch the news to see where Santa is located!! :)
ReplyDeleteUntil four years ago, my favorite Christmas memory was getting my Barbie Dream House. Four years ago on Christmas day, I found out I was expecting our first baby; that is my new favorite memory.

ReplyDeleteMy favorite Christmas memory is waking up to my mom cooking ebelskevers on Christmas morning. It is a Norweigan tradition, and how fun that the pans have started widely appearing in places like Williams-Sonoma recently!

ReplyDeleteBest christmas memory has to be last christmas, our first christmas with our son Gray. He brings so much joy to our lives.
ReplyDeleteBest Christmas memory - when my boyfriend (now husband) proposed on Christmas morning in front of my entire family!
ReplyDeleteBest Christmas memory - My sister and I were procrastinating about going to bed on Christmas Eve. My mom, unbeknownst to us, sent on my brother who was quite a bit older than us outside and had him shake bells, to convince us Santa was there. Our eyes got HUGE and then we took off! My sister and I ran to the stairs, scrambled up the stairs and hopped right into bed, praying that he wouldn't bypass us since we were up too late.

ReplyDeletefavorite Christmas memory is our Christmas Eve service at church-we have communion and sing silent night in candle light- it brings a calmness about the season and the needed moment to just be.....I feel like a breath of fresh air when I leave...

My favorite Christmas memories are all those spent with my dad who passed away last year. We will never forget you dad. The angel piece makes me think of my dad who I hope is an angel in heaven.
ReplyDeleteMargaretlima1@hotmail.com
This was not my most favorite Christmas memory at the time but it is one of my favorites now. When I was little, my dad claimed he saw Rudolf flying over and screamed for one of my brothers to go get his gun. He ran outside and shot Rudolf. Dad claimed he was in the front yard. I was in hysterics! Now that my dad is gone and I am much older, I miss all my dad's jokes. Most people might find that abusive but you just had to know my dad! He was a practical joker!!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite Christmas memories as a child involved our family of 5 loading up in the "Brady Bunch" station wagon, driving to a Christmas tree farm and searching for that perfect tree. Then we would come home and dust off the Alvin and the Chipmunks record and get to work. My two sisters and I fought over hanging the "best" ornaments on the tree, which at 33 years of age are still coveted today!
ReplyDeletePost # 2--Have been reading your blog for a while and just signed up as a follower (Our Family). Keeping my fingers crossed for an original Kendall.....
ReplyDeleteMy most cherished Christmas memory is of Grandfather (Mom's father) driving north from Kentucky to St. Louis or south from Kentucky to Atlanta to spend the holiday with Mom and I. As an older man, he was set in his ways. He loved life in his little cabin, on his little hill, buried deep in the Blue Ridge Mountains, and he did not leave home often. But for as long as I can remember, he showed up at our front door on Christmas Eve, and just as quickly as he had arrived, headed back to his little cabin the following day. It seemed that he always brought the warmth and magic of the holiday with him, and it did not feel like Christmas until I saw his old, Ford pick-up in our driveway. Last year was the first holiday that we spent without him, and the little girl in me couldn't help but keep and eye on the window, thinking that old pick-up may magically appear.
ReplyDeleteGrandfather, I don't know if it will ever quite feel like Christmas again without you here. We miss you every day, but especially these days.

ReplyDeleteThanks for the chance to win a beautiful 'Kendall'! It is 1:00 a.m., I am supposed to be studying for finals, and I am crying now after writing my favorite Christmas memory - haha. A beautiful painting sure would make things better :)
Love you - and everything that you do!
Favorite Christmas memory is my daughter coming downstairs on Christmas morning -- her eyes sparkling with excitement. She's growing up fast and I will cherish each Christmas morning memory of her!! Tammy Stewart, richtamsaw@comcast.net
ReplyDeleteAll of my friends have heard all about your blog and your talent! Merry Christmas, Tammy Stewart

ReplyDeleteMy favorite Christmas memory.... I met Rick my husband this time of year and for our 1st date he took me out to eat at a very nice place, and the rest of our date we rode all over town to look at Christmas lights and one of the houses that was done up all in lights was his! And I was so very impressed because he was a single man! And we've been together everyday since and I can't imagine my life without him! I love the angel painting! The father, son, and holy spirit hits close to home with me because we are Cathoilc!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite Christmas memory/tradition would be my grandparents coming over for a breakfast of cinnamon rolls, orange juice and coffee on Christmas morning to survey the damage and see what Santa had brought us! This year, Im look forward to intorducing that tradition to my 5 month old! Although I've been reading your blog for the last year I am now officially stalking your blog and have informed my blog followers of your talent!!! I love your work!! and I have a feeling my walls will love it as well!
ReplyDeleteI am already a follower and I'm going to recruit my mom she would love your blog!!!
ReplyDeleteI shared your blog on my facebook page!!! Merry christmas!!!!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite Holiday memory...Boy that`s a hard one for me because i have so many!!! I am so blessed... My favorite ones has to be when my boys gave me my Daughter-in laws, who in turn gave me six beautiful GRANDCHILDREN... To me seeing children at Christmas is what it is all about,and the birth of Jesus. Thanks boys!!!
ReplyDeleteI am a follower of your blog & enjoy it very much & look forward to reading it every day.
ReplyDeleteWhat beautiful paintings to give away at Christmas-time! My mother would love it hanging in her home!
ReplyDeleteI have many holiday memories so this wil be tough. First and foremost, my immediate family always gets out the big tree together and hangs ornaments on it from previous years. As each one is hung, we reminisce on where it came from. And each year, we all get new ornaments depending on what activities/extracurricular/things that we were interested in at the time.
We're all so truly blessed! God is so good!
Hey Mrs. Kendall!
ReplyDeleteSo I went to a bridal shower at a house here in Birmingham and saw this picture on her wall and thought that looks SO familiar :) She told me that she entered to win on your blog and got it! So I thought I would like to give it a try since I have been wanting one of your pictures in my house too :)
My favorite Christmas memory is running into mom and dads room every Christmas morning to wake mom up to wait for Dad to get the video camera ready for us all to line up in birth order and run down to see what Santa had brought us this year. Mom always showing us "our" things and asking us how much we loved it. :)

I just subscribed to your blog and look forward to endlessly stalking you now :) haha
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas to you!
And now I am posting the link to your blog on my facebook page and will tell my friends about your precious paintings.
ReplyDeleteYou are so generous!! I can't believe you are giving this away!! I sure do hope I win!
ReplyDeleteMy most recent favorite Christmas memory started about 2 years ago. Wesley's family started renting a 10 passenger van to drive around and look at Christmas lights together. They rent a driver, load the van with wine and beer, and snacks, and we're off to go look at lights! It's so fun for everyone to be together...we truly fill up the whole van!! Such a fun tradition :)
I can't wait until tomorrow to find out the winner!!
PS- erinandwesley.blogspot.com. You already knew that though :)
I'm posting it there too!
I love going to the 11pm Christmas Eve service with my parents. There's something so magical about welcoming in Christmas right at midnight as we leave the little church chapel.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite Christmas memory is getting tickets to The New Kids on the Block Concert--to go with my Mom's best friend and (my friend) her daughter ;) There's a really humiliating home video somewhere of my lip quivering, voice cracking, and tears streaming down my face as I open the tickets. There were matching outfits made especially for the occasion :) and side ponytails to boot. The only sad part is that my friend and I were convinced that 1) There were back-stage passes as well--ensuring that our teen idols would fall in love with us at first sight and 2) That (my favorite) Joey McIntire was going to pull us up on stage and serenade us with "Please Don't Go Girl" Unfortunately, our seats were on the very last row of the AU Colleseum and Joey and I never got to begin our life-long romance. PICK ME!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteAnd Post #3! You are now on my facebook page for all of my friends to see - Although I told them not to give me any more competition in this contest :)
ReplyDeletePICK ME, PICK ME, PICK ME!
Really enjoying following your blog so far!
Thanks for sharing wonderful YOU with the world!
Oh my!!! We just moved in a new house last week and I have a ton of empty walls that would LOVE either of these paintings :)
ReplyDeleteMy favorite Christmas memories are when all of the grandchildren in our family (and parents of course) would pile up in our Christmas pjs and spend the night at our grandparents house to spend the night on Christmas Eve. We would wake up Christmas morning to the downstairs den next to the fireplace FILLED with presents from Santa! Such fun!!!!
I am posting this to my facebook and becoming a follower of you as well!! :) www.thekearbeys.blogspot.com
(I'm friends with your sweet Jordan..we go to Highlands together!)
One of my favorite Christmas memories is sharing a bedroom with my brother every Christmas eve growing up and getting up every Christmas morning to presents from Santa and the smell of breakfast casserole! I love Christmas!!
ReplyDeletei am already a follower, but i just told my friend sarah about your blog
ReplyDeletei just posted on my blog about your blog and giveaway!!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite Christmas memory is when we would sew popcorn on a string for our Christmas tree as a kid and have hot chocolate. We didn't have a lot of material things but we sure had a lot of love. Being a family together is priceless. Will share on my blog and just added to follow you. Beautiful art work.
ReplyDeleteI just emailed 3 friends about your blog and posted it to my facebook. This is my first time to look at your blog. Your painting are truely amazing and I would love either one - I would not be choosey. My favorite memory is getting to spend time in general with my family and my husband's family. We normally see his family the few days before Christmas. On Christmas Eve my family has a tradition of going to the Children's Church at the local catholic church we attend and then going to a fancy dinner at J Alexanders. We then like to drive round and look at Christmas lights together. On Christmas day we always get up early and go around the circle and open one present at a time. We all then help cook Christmas Lunch/Dinner to take to my grandads house. Soon after we jump in the car to see my mom's side of the family. It is all hectic but special because we get to spend a lot of time together. Again, I would truely enjoy this painting for my husband and I to put on our empty dining room wall. That would make a great Christmas!
ReplyDeleteBah Humbug!!!!!!! Hope that generator picks me....hahaha..Okay...So, I reached deep into my memory bank and thought of many childhood memories.... To this day, I still spend Christmas Eve and Christmas Morning with my mom......A Tradition that will continue until the day my mom dies...Hopefully, many many years from now.. Merry Christmas Kendoo..Love ya...
ReplyDeleteWe used to stay every Christmas at Eagle Lake with all 12 aunts and uncles and 18 grandchildren and grandparents. We would all get to run down the stairs together early Christmas morning and then play all day long together. It was perfect.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite Christmas memory is the first Christmas I spent having a child of my own (which was only last year). It's always fun to see Christmas through a child's eyes!
ReplyDeleteHi Kendall!
ReplyDeleteI have many fun Christmas memories but I really think this year may be my favorite. My son Jack is two and he is loving every minute of this Christmas season and I am enjoying it with him! It is important to me that he understands from the beginning the true meaning of Christmas and not just a pile of toys under the tree. If you ask him right now why we give presents on Christmas he will tell you it is because it is Jesus's birthday. So, we will be starting the tradition of having a birthday cake for Jesus on Christmas eve and singing happy birthday.
It has been fun reading all of these fun traditions!

My favorite Christmas memory was one I made this year - decorating my tree with my husband for the first time!! We got married on July 31 and it has been so sweet to be together throughout the holiday season!
ReplyDeleteThank you for posting this beautiful art!!
And I'm now officially a follower!! Love your blog! : )
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas!!!
One Christmas my parents took my brothers and I to Breckenridge, CO for a little vacation. We were a little bummed about being away for Christmas, but had the most amazing day snowmobiling, then went to a church service in a little local chapel. It was a stretch from our usual traditions, but definitely one of my most memorable Christmases.
ReplyDeleteI think I was five when our Christmas tree had a blue theme....even though it was a small tree in a small apartment, I still think it was the prettiest I've ever seen! Also might have been the beginning of my interest in design and color.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite Christmas memory involves me setting a "trap" to catch Santa. I set up all kinds of stuff in front of her our front door--McDonald's pails, ropes, bells etc; He was not getting past me!! LOVE LOVE the paintings!!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite Christmas memory is the last year my maternal grandmother was alive. We spent time making Christmas ornaments and cookies that year. Something I won't forget!
ReplyDeleteI'm following your blog through Google reader.

My favorite Christmas memory was two years ago, my husband surprised me with an anniversary band while we were putting together our kids' Christmas presents. I love the blessing of putting out Christmas goodies for our kids!
i lOVE your paintings!
ReplyDeletemy favorite Christmas memory is every Christmas Eve my mom's whole side of the family and friends comes over to her house to eat a LOT of great appetizers and then exchange gifts. i know, very common but i just love all of the memories i have growing up doing this--and love the fact that we still do it.
