Isn't so great when you do it two nights in a row.........hey that's what it took this year to get my home decorated for Christmas! Feels good now........but I thought I was going to die!
Our family loves this time of the year, the sights, the smells, the sounds of the holidays..........
It's so warm and cozy to come home to "ole jolly St. Nick's eyes upon you".............
And the sweet smell of the gingerbread candle burning in the kitchen..........
Not to mention the 5th round of Xmas cupcakes we have baked this year...............Griffin loves sprinkles!
And just being with each other..............it's super nice and I am willing to slow down to enjoy the "reason for the season", my hubby and boys, and just all of the sweet and wonderful friends that touch our lives everyday........................
Merry Christmas everyone.........................

Second Tree Glory...................
Always a story with me............why is that????
A few weeks ago, Mom and I went to Abilene to shop and stopped at Sam's....wow!!!! There was this beautiful 12 foot (keep this in mine) beautiful and affordable Christmas tree!
She said, let's get that for part of your Christmas so you can enjoy it!
Wow!!!!!!!!!!! Exciting!!!!!!!!!! Until the guy loads it into the car and bam....goes one of the boxes! This tree came in two boxes mind you, 12 feet remember...............
Get it home, start to put it up the next weekend..............and my dear hubby says, "honey this ceiling is NOT 12 feet............just keep going I say..........it will fit.........after all it didn't look that tall in SAM'S.....................HA, HA,...............
Needless to say our ceiling is 10 feet, the guy dropping the box caused many broken bulbs, and it is 6:00 Saturday night.....................and Sam's closes at 8:00!
Throw the tree back into the box, drop Griffin at Grandma and Papa's, drive frantically to Sam's, no receipt, return tree for ANOTHER 12 foot tree...........and have a nice date/dinner with my hubby at the pub/grill downtown.........................................
Guess what! WE left a section out of the tree and it's beautiful! 10 foot.......but beautiful!
You'll see.................................

Evening delight!.................
Few and far between are those evenings when we can just "hang" out with the little guy and do "whatever he says" ..............this last semi-warm evening he wanted to ride the riding lawnmower............so away they go! You can see the glow on both of their faces...................love, love...............
