We Need a Little Christmas Right this very Minute!!

 
This year I decided to do something different w/ the Christmas tree. I found a bunch of 4 x 5 pictures of Jesus that I tied w/ ribbon all over it. Then I just put silver balls and lots of snowflakes stars and tin tinsel all over. We think it turned out beautiful and left no one wondering WHO we believe in!
 
This is our main Christmas present, the kitchen floor ~ oak. We absolutely love it!

Arlin also built me these picture rails

And 2 of these beautiful end tables!! Arn't I the luckiest girl ever?

The sisters and Neil & Maddy came over for breakfast, we had waffles w/ strawberries & whip crm, bacon, hot cinnamon milk, hot cocoa & orange juice. I think that should be traditional ~ it was sooo delicious!

Christmas Eve 2010


My favorite thing to do for Christmas is get new jammies for everyone! I love finding them (sometimes able to coordinate them all) and then we open them on Christmas eve. We've been doing that ever since our kids were born and still do it, even for grandkids and kids in law.

(as long as we didn't upstage any of the performers) so, we didn't.......
