Merry Christmas Eve.
The lights are on...
The presents are all wrapped....

And, I am going to have quite a few of these!!!!

Have a Merry, Merry Christmas Eve!!!!!

Pure craziness.
I went out tonight to do some grocery shopping and some last minute shopping...and, all I have to say is it pure crazy out there. I am so glad I did most of my shopping online this year. A little click here and a little click there, and I was done!!! I am so glad for the internet and Amazon.com!!

Crazy I say!!! C-R-A-Z-Y!!

Mission accomplished.
I finally got him! I cornered him right after school with his dress shirt still on and no funny faces or googley eyes! Just one of my boy! Mission accomplished!!


Too bad the Christmas cards were already made and mailed out.

The Holiday spirit.
Why do my kids wait till the night before to tell me that their school Christmas play is tomorrow at 1:30??? Um, yeah, I'll be there!!


The holiday christmas spirit has just left me..... just kidding, sort of.

Sunday sledding.
Nana must of known the snow was going to arrive. So for an early Christmas gift the kids got to open early packages with new snow tubes and new snow pants!! They could not wait to bust out the door the next morning when they awoke to all the white stuff lying on the ground.

Coy is my dare devil. While this one below is a little more conservative, laid back and leisurely likes to float her way down the hill

And, this one...was inside looking out the backdoor with the saddest puppy face I have ever seen. I knew he wanted to be out there with all the kids and join in all the fun. So, I opened the door and he busted up the hill.

All in all, it was a great day for sledding.

Guess what we did?
What better thing to do on a Sunday morning? Especially when you get new snow tubes from Nana an Pap last night and you wake up to all the white stuff??

More to come...

Golden winter sky.
Most evenings, I have the best view at the end of the day right on my front porch.

Every moment is a golden one for him who has the vision to recognize it as such. ~Henry Miller
