My Baby and Haha

Yahoo- My baby loved Santa (Haha as he says it- for Ho Ho HO) (ok well, at least he loved the candy canes. ) He was such a big boy- went right up unto Santa's lap and said "cheese! Have I said how much I love this time of the year? We went to Norm's house for a toasty outside gathering and waited for Santa to ride in on his huge red sleigh (a big red fire truck) Then mom enjoyed the firemen, Shawn loved the sirens, and Stevie loved climbing all over the truck! It was so much fun! Only 6 more days til..... Our Lord and Saviors Birth- Thank you Jesus!

Some Holiday Parties

Ok- Well I have to admit- I LOOOOOVVVVEEEEEE this time of the year! I love all of my wonderful friends- they are truely my family that I got to hand pick! Last Friday night we had our 10th annual ornament exchange. We went to the Yard House and I had garlic chicken noodles- the were so yummy! Then it was back to my BFF's for some good chimoso, drinks, ornament exchanging, and cookie decorating (even though we had so much chimoso- that we never got to the cookies!)

Then Saturday we had my 2nd annual cookie exchnge- It was so great- we had so many cookies that you couldn't fit one more on the pool table-(bet ya didn't know that is what pool tables are for????) We had so much fun!!!! I hope you are all enjoying your Christmas as much as me!

My Friend came back with some show-n-tells

I am so excited to have my friend Debbie back in my life- we have so much in common and I can spend hours talking to her (well, listening :) I am so glad that God forgave us of all of our sins and that we are required to forgive and ask forgiveness- even though it is so difficult at times!!!!!

Well, she goes to a very talented SU! demonstraters house so make some amazing projects- her name is AnnaMarie and last night she came over to share that latest one she had made.

It is a little log house box filled with cards. She is going to get me the measurements of everything and then I will pass them on- but for now, here are the pictures. I love it!!!!

ACWP- Giving Thanks

This was made with a cute (cheap) jar from Ikea that my near and dear friend Pam picked up for me. I love these little jars! I gave it to Shawn's Sunday School teachers- because he is a handfull- so I figure I better keep them happy :)

So Thankful!

Well, Once again we have found ourselves blessed by our heavenly father. My husband was laid off last Wednesday and we didn't worry (too bad) and put our trust in the Lord! Not even one week later he is working agin- Thank you Jesus! So I thought that this video would be appropiate! I stole it off of Dawns blog- her blog rocks!

Happy Birthday Big Daddy!

Well- Nov 30th was our "Big daddy's" birthday- which was Sunday. We went to church and out to lunch with our wonderful friends Leah and Jeremi. I woke up early and made chewy, fudgy, yummy brownies. We topped them with soft serve ice cream and marshmellow topping and whip cream (for a generic DQ- brownie earthquake) and sang to him! For his present he got $3000 worth of tools for $500 (a friend was selling them because he was losing his house :(

In celebration of 1,000 hits and my DH birthday I was giving away a stamp set. So I asked my DH to pick a number between 1-10 and he picked 6! So that is..... Bunny B! I don't see a way to get to your blog- where you linked mine? Send me your blog name and your addy so I can get your surprise out to you! Congratulations!
