Our 1st Christmas gift

We recently received this plate in the mail as an early Christmas gift from Mr. & Mrs. Mac (a/k/a the Barton's parents :), as a commemoration of our wedding date, and we think it's beautiful! It already has a special viewing place on top of our new cabinet in the family room. They ordered it a couple months ago, but they are handmade at the Greenfield Village in Dearborn, MI. By the way, if you have never been or haven't been to Greenfield Village in a while you really should check out this local gem that we have, it really is an amazing snapshot of history. We're really hoping we can check out the fireworks & DSO performance next year again during the 4th of July week, it was a great time - come & picnic with us!

The inscription that we chose for the plate is an excerpt of the oft-quoted biblical quote Joshua 24:15. While a pretty plate shouldn't have to remind us that our house serves the Lord, we figure hey we can all use another reminder, right?
