The Real Reason We Celebrate...


It's really easy to forget sometimes with all the shopping, gift giving, decorating, eating. With all the craziness of Christmas it's easy to forget why we celebrate in the first place. But Eric and I were reminded last night. We went to see the Nativity Story movie. If you have the time to see this before Christmas, do. It's about sacrifice and obedience, but most of all, it's about the greatest gift the world has ever received.
Since I probably won't be posting again before, I want to wish all of my blog readers a very Merry Christmas! I'm so thankful for you all!

I'm Dreaming of A

White Christmas. And that's about the closest I'm gonna come. A dream. Since tomorrow's supposed to be 80 degrees, it's likely to not even be cold for Christmas. Yuck. Just doesn't feel like Christmas when people are in shorts and T's. But on the bright side, I've mailed out my Christmas cards, goodies for the CJ girlies, and I am about a quarter of the way finished with my Christmas painting. Still have a TON of painting to do and chocolate covered pretzels & cookies to make and shopping to finish, and a house that's been sorely neglected with all the painting going on. Ok maybe that's not a bright side. It all sounded a little better in my head. Lol.


Usually, I cannot wait for Christmas to come and go with Eric working so very hard, and coming in late. But actually this year, hasn't been bad at all. It almost doesn't feel like Christmas because usually, he works very late and comes in exhausted. Not so much this year. The only bad thing is that he has to work all day Christmas Eve. That I'm not so thrilled about. The day will fly by I'm sure. So much to do. This year I actually wish there was about one more week before Christmas to get everything done!




I'm really not too sure how I found the time to scrap these. The scrapbook store has been having some really good sales for the 12 days of Christmas. Payton and I went on Tuesday and when we got home she wanted to scrap. So I pulled out some stuff and we scrapped for about an hour. She's been such a trooper with all the painting and other things going on.

Hope everyone has a wonderfully fabulous weekend. I am hoping to get a ton of things done! Only 10 days left! AACK!

On to Jr. High!
