Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas from our family to yours!!

This week I've stayed at home with the kiddos most of time. They went to their babysitter's one day so I could get some gift wrapping and cleaning done. I also participated in a local Charity delivering food & toys to needy families around town. It was absolutely awesome. We go with a group of women that I've known for several years but we don't get to see each other that often because I'm busy with my family. It really made me appreciate all that we have during this time of year and all through the year.

I'm up before kids on Christmas morning. Not exactly sure why. I have read my devotional & spent some quiet time with the Lord which is what I've been needing over the past busy few days. Got a busy day with family, & hope everyone a safe & happy Christmas. Treasure those you love this holiday season & every day, they are a gift from above each day they are here. I pray for those who have lost loved ones this year & this is their first Christmas without them. Praying for my friends & family to have a wonderful, blessed New Year as well!

Top Tuesday

5) spent quiet time with the Lord this morning & my Joyce Meyers podcast during the day. Makes me think & focus on Him

4) picked up 4 cute free hair barrettes for my baby girl. One is angels that may have to be a part of her Christmas outfit

3) Manheim steamroller Christmas music. Stille Nicht & veni, veni by them are truly beautiful. It brings back memories of my father listening to them each year at Christmas.

2) lunch with the hubby today. Yes it was pb&j but it was a half hour with my hubby.

1) my husbands company Christmas party is this week. I'm so excited about having an adult night, it's really kind of silly. But I can't wait to get dressed up & have a date night with the hubby.

Weekend Wrap-Up

Our weekend was a whirlwind. We had a Christmas program for Mr. L Friday night. It was so much fun, and so cute!!

This was Mr L with two of his classmates reciting their lines from Twas the Night Before Christmas.

Then Saturday we  went about an hour away to a mall with Santa Claus. (Did I mention we are in the boonies??) My lovely mother went with me to help me corral the kiddos since hubby had to work. She also gave me an early Christmas present and bought me some clothes to wear to the hubby's Christmas party.  Here is the kiddos picture with Santa.

Sunday we went to church and then spent the weekend watching football and relaxing. I can't believe December is already here, and we have something planned every weekend of this month. It's gonna fly by!!

Wordless Wednesday

This is my precious boy when he was not even a month old 6 years ago.  I love him more every day and he is my sweet little mister.  I can't believe my baby is 6 years old!!
