Christmas preparations

Well Christmas is fast approaching.  I wish I was as prepared as these photos would lead one to believe.  We spent the days after Thanksgiving getting the house decorated.  The new tree is a bit big but beautiful.  Not sure how my dear Terbear got her shoulder length hair wound and tangled in the curtain, but she is extremely gifted.









This past weekend we enjoyed a wonderful Saturday baking and candy making with my dear childhood friend, Linds, her mom, my mom, and the 3 big girls.  Our creations turned out oh so cute and we had a wonderful time together.  We made peanut butter reindeer cookies ( I think over 160), melted snowman cookies, famous sugar cookies, Christmas mice, and turtle candy.

Thanksgiving

We celebrated a great Thanksgiving.  The family traveled just a bit for a big family celebration of pot luck lunch that did not seem to end.  So many things to be thankful for...my Lord and Savior Jesus, my family, my wonderful husband, the dear precious girls I have been blessed with, friends,...I could continue and never fully express my gratitude for all that God has graced me with.
