Happy New year

A brief Happy New Year, I am moving into the new year a different person. My life is on hiatus right now there are some changes that are going on that I will fill you in on in the coming weeks. Just keep me in your prayers (if you pray) or in your thoughts (if you don't) and hope for the best. Thank you my friends.

O' Christmas tree

Our Christmas tree is up!

I absolutely love having a real tree, we (Hubby and I)  had a fake one only once year in our 15 yrs of being together.

While the fake one was pretty it could not top the real trees we've shared in all these years.

I'm nervous about this tree though, since the weekend we got it, it has been shedding like crazy!

I must sweep up 10,000 needles a day!

I really hope its not bald by the time Christmas gets here!

Every year we get a couple of new ornaments for the tree, there are no themes.

We buy whatever suits our fancy and whatever the feeling is that we are feeling at that moment.

I will share some pictures of our favorites in the coming days!

Happy Thanksgiving!

*I absolutely adore these little dolls my husband will find me fawning over them on the computer for hours!*

Christmas projects and boys turning 4!

We had a great weekend! 

My dear sweet hubby brought the Christmas decorations

up from the garage for me!

We celebrated my nephew's birthday who just turned 4 this month!

And we taught the kids the age old custom

of turning marshmallows into snowmen!

It was a fun way to get ready for the holiday!

Getting ready...

Today I wanted to start decorating for Christmas.

I mean really decorating, getting a tree too!

We don't have a fake tree (never will!)

Not that theres anything wrong with having a fake tree, I just don't want one.

So anyway back to what I was saying, I really wanted to start decorating today but the sad fact is, is that I can no longer carry the decorations up from the garage. They have gotten too heavy for me to lift!

So I thought of the next best thing!

The kids were bored (you know the kind of bored where not even the video games kept them occupied!) I had pine cones and glue and glitter. Well put 2 and 3 together and I had a half an hour of non bored kids!

They made so many pretty pine cones I can't wait to hang them up!

We may even give some out for Christmas gifts!

Till Next time!

Why hello there!

I have been such a bad blog owner,

I wanted a blog,

I promised to feed and water and play with it

 I hemmed and hawed over what to name it,

and when I got it I let it sit in the corner until it withered like my house plants

(that I really should water!)

So many things have happened during this month that I really do have lots to tell,

but it will have to wait because girl has a playdate

and I'm watching them playing at the park!
