This has been a week of celebration for us.  We’ll take turns by age and finish with a slideshow of assorted Huttons…

Mona is celebrating the 47th anniversary of her birth and we’re rejoicing with her.  One thing we all love about Mona is her sense of compassion.  Our last trip to the dentist office went something like this…

Mona said, “I want a tooth pulled. I don’t want gas or Novocain because I’m in a terrible hurry. Just pull the tooth as quickly as possible.”

“You’re a brave woman,” said the dentist. “Now, show me which tooth it is.”

Mona turns to Ron and says: “Open your mouth and show the dentist which tooth it is, dear.”

Anna came home from FSU last Friday to spend Christmas with us.  It’s such a treat to have Anna home.  We don’t see her nearly as much as we’d like to.  Everything just seems brighter when she’s around.

Ben celebrated his 17th birthday on Monday this week.  We are very proud of Ben.  You’ll probably notice in some of the slideshow pics that Ben towers over his mom and sisters now.  I can’t believe how fast Ben is growing up.  God has some incredible plans for Ben’s life and it’s a joy to be part of it.

Emily performed beautifully at her Christmas piano recital this past Sunday.  The event was wonderful, as usual, and this year Emily was the anchor pianist because she’s worked very hard and her teacher saved the best for last.
