It's a Wrap

I am officially done Christmas Shopping!

This is worth celebrating!

Now it's time to start wrapping.... I found the coolest, vintage style wrapping paper. It's almost too pretty to use. I just hope people enjoy it as much as I do.

We also made ornaments this year and glittered snowflakes, which I'm attaching to each present.

It's all in the details folks.

Have a great weekend. I feel a cold coming on...

Gingerbread House

Welcome Home!

Peek thru the"Sprinkle-Stained Glass" windows...



My husband made the icicles. What can I say? They were his specialty.

Licorice, marshmallows...and a capri sun??

The boys pretended to be reindeer's.

Have you ever noticed that every picture I share, my boys have no shirts on? We look like a bunch of nuts who don't wear clothes. Ha ha! I promise I do put clothes on them.

The face of a proud man!

today's to do

1) get warm. my bones are freezing. I need a "snugglie."

(have you seen those on t.v.? they are crazy but I ask myself how I've lived this long without one)

2) finish our xmas cards.

please email me your address so I can spread some xmas cheer your way.

3) finish our gingerbread house. it has taken days...

4) Oh i am so behind on laundry. Not a very good wife these days and my poor children are close to recycling the chones.

This makes me sad, but I have no will to get even close to those machines.

i am rambling on about nothing.

time to go.

I promise to have something excellent to write about soon...

Rain

I love you more than words can say.

I just wish I was at home enjoying your bliss and not thru my office window, but never the less you are splendid.

You bring cold weather for the holidays, snowy mountain tops for Christmas, and an excuse to wear winter coats & boots because you actually need to wear them!

You are the best.

One Man's Trash

This morning we woke up to this across the street:

Half bike / Half Shopping Cart.

The BUMS in our hood...are getting crafty.

Always entertaining...

Lucky Me

I have to be pretty darn lucky.
I have a rockin' husband (do you still use that word? I do, it's funny)

He's very handsome.
Cool to boot.
Our protector.
Spiritual director.
Lover.
Best Friend.


When the world is in chaos, he is my constant.

#2 : Warm Goodness

We drank Hot Cocoa with Marshmallows to celebrate the spirit of the season.



We sat at the table.
With warm mugs in our hands.
Mountains of marshmallows, as tall as tree tops.
and chocolate mustaches above the grins of the 2 wild ones.

Brandon prayed before dinner the other night and thanked God that his mommy has planned Christmas for us every night.

He's very sweet and made me happy that I'm his mommy.
