Merry Christmas Everyone!!!! May you be surrounded by loved ones and filled with joy!
FYI: I will be back in the new year!!!
…well almost. First I need a list. Time to buckle down and think of the best gifts ever.
Since, it is crunch time and I have not one gift purchased yet this year, I am going to need a little help. I know, your mouth probably just hit the floor. Yes, I do see that it is only 8 days till Christmas.
But, I have my favorite cup of Chai Tea, fuzzy blanket, and a little help from Faith Hill singing in the background. No worries.
Love…love the Faith Hill Joy to the World cd. I feel like I am walking into Macy’s already. Children’s Choirs, Big Band feel, and Faith Hill sooo good.
It smells like popcorn…I keep stepping on popcorn…and I don’t want to eat another piece.
It all started when we brought home our Christmas tree and realized that it not only was way too short and looked more like a bush, but it was also lopsided. Every time I walk in the room and see the tree it screams “TIMBER.” It is rather depressing especially since I come from a family that are the Michael Jordan of tree pickers.
We tried adding lights and ornaments, but ladies and gentlemen the tree is just sad. I had thoughts of bow, beaded garland…and finally came up with popcorn. I must have been really desperate as I looked at our Charlie Brown Christmas tree.
It is now three days later, I have swollen fingers, popcorn is all over the floor, the smell is lingering like a skunk…but our tree, well I think it is going to make it.
Chloe came down the stairs in the cutest pj’s, curls, and bow. Collin poked his head around the corner and giggled. He was a bowl full of jelly for the rest of the afternoon.
Chloe is such a little artist. She smeared the icing just so with her finger and wiped her hands clean between colors. Her hands were steady as she placed a smile on her gingerbread girl. The final touch was a red bow just like hers.
Collin was so excited about the SPRINKLES!!! He doused his cookie in seconds, took a bite and then asked how to spell… K O M O D O D R A G O N! He loves his Komodo’s…so much that they will most likely be making a debut in their Christmas Card.
Such a cutie!!
Erin, your family is simply full of joy and laughter. All I think I added was a little icing to each belly…or maybe a lot.
All Christmas shopping and decorating is done. Everything is in place. The stuffed animals sit on their shelves, blankets hang over the crib… now it is just time to wait.
Sarah you look absolutely beautiful.
Love…love those lashes!
