Tree Decorating Night!

Well, last night we actually decorated our Christmas tree with some ornaments.....some old ones and some new shiny red bulbs that I bought today! Julie had fun putting some icicles on the tree as well! Rachel just ran around bugging her sister and eating a candy cane, lol!! Aaaahhh, such is life! Here are some pics for ya!















It was so much fun watching julie decorate the tree.......although I did rearrange some bulbs and ornaments to spread them around a bit and not have them all gathered together in a few spots........I know, I know....I should've just left them where she put them, but.......I couldn't do it, lol!! Well, maybe I will see if I can find my christmas houses to put up someplace.....I know they are here somewhere! I found our stockings yesterday too, so those will go up on the fireplace. I really hope to get some scrappy time today, it would make me happy!!!........I really want to start a December Daily album and get some Christmas gifts made!!

Thankful

Wow, has it REALLY been since September since I last blogged?? I really need to be better about this.......good thing New Year's is coming up so I can make my resolution to do just that! Be a better blogger! Then again, why do I need to wait til New Year's, I can just start now, right??!! Right! Well, we'll see how well I actually do, lol!!

Well, I can hardly believe that Thanksgiving is next week.....for some reason, it just doesn't seem possible, this year has been flying by so quickly! It really has been a good year all in all.....thank the Lord above!! I am praying that 2011 will be even better! I really feel that it's gonna be THE year that I REALLY buckle down and start getting healthy....although, I'm already making small changes now! :)

Thanksgiving 2010.......I have sooooo much to be thankful for! I don't have room to list everything, but a few of the many blessings that God has blessed me with are: my husband, my two little girls, my church, my home, my family and friends, and my health. I love Thanksgiving Day to spend with the family and just have a quiet day together. I hope and pray that all of you have a Blessed Thanksgiving as well.......enjoy your families and be thankful for what the Good Lord Above as provided for you!
Til next time!
