Happy New Year!!!!!!!!

Christmas Eve

Merry Christmas from our family to yours!!!

Fun @ the Merry Go Round

Nothing puts ya in the Christmas Spirit like going to the Merry Go Round. Here are a few pictures that we took tonight. This is always a fun Christmas tradition that we look forward to every year. Unfortunately, we didn't get to go to the "manger scene" like we do every year, because it has rained so durn much that it flooded and the sewage backed up where it's set up and you can't go down there.... YUK!!!! I'm surely not walking down there to it this year! Anyway, we will have to just carry on our other traditions.

Ok, well ya'll have a fantabulous night!!!! I love ya'll bunches!!!!

The week of Christmas

I can't believe that it's already the week of Christmas!!! It flies up on me every year. I think that it's because I work right up until Christmas Eve. If I was off the whole week of Christmas, it would probably be better, but I unfortunately never have enough vacation days left @ the end of the year to do that. We had our big family Christmas gathering @ our house last night and that really put me in the Christmas spirit, finally!!! I just couldn't get the Christmas spirit this year for some reason....and I'm not sure why. Maybe that comes with age, I don't know. Anyway, we had a really good time last night. We had a house full. It was alot of fun....it always is. There was about 30 people here. We ate, opened gifts, played dirty santa, sang Christmas Carols, and finished off the night going to the Merry Go Round. I love having our family all together. We will do my side of the family with my Mama, Daddy, sister, brother and their families on Christmas Eve morning and then we will go to Kyle's Mama's and Granny's on Christmas Eve around lunch time or a little after and then we will get ready for Santa to come. I can't wait! I hope ya'll have a good week!!! Merry Christmas!!! I love ya'll.

A little of our Christmas Decor

I'm not sure if I'm satisfied with the fireplace....I still think it's missing something, but I'm not sure what. I've re arranged it a million times trying to get it "right". Kyle told me that if I re arrange it again, he is going to arrange it him self...I figured I had better leave it alone. LOL I did add some more candles in the fireplace just to fill it in a little more, but I still think it needs something else. I just can't put my finger on what it is though. Maybe it'll come to me. I tried to get a close up of a few of the ornaments that are on our tree, but they didn't turn out too good, so there won't be a tour of ornaments this year. Oh and Mama still hasn't decked her halls yet.... she has put some stuff on the mantel, and it's really pretty, but she still hasn't put her tree up yet. Haha!!! Maybe before Christmas Eve, Mama?????? You know I'm just jankin on ya Mama. You deck your halls when you are good and ready.Ok, well ya'll have a wonderful night! I love ya'll bunches!!!

Just taking it easy tonight....

Today has been busy... me and Mama went to Tiger Town this morning for her to get a couple of gifts bought and I just browsed hobby lobby cause I'm broke! I hate, hate, hate being broke and not being able to get something that I see....not that I do that all the time, but I've been looking for a candelabara to go in my fireplace and I found one today at a store that we went into and couldn't get it. That took alot of restraint on my part....and that's something that I'm not real good at. But I was proud of myself that I didn't buy it. I bet I'll go back on payday though. Hee Hee! I've still been trying to get my Christmas decorations "right".... I'm not having much luck with it this year though....I just can't get satisfied with where I have stuff. I know that sounds stupid, but I'm just not satisfied with everything this year. I'll try to snap some pictures tomorrow and get em on here of my decorations and maybe some suggestions from ya'll will help. Ok, well I'm of to clean up the kitchen. Ya'll have a great night!

I love ya'll loads!
& Merry Christmas!!!

Love,
