  • It's Thursday! It's Christmas Eve!

    Outside my window.... it's cloudy and cool, I see our puppy sleeping, cars going back and forth on the highway, the town chirstmas decorations hanging from the poles, and the Babtist church sign.

    Around the house..... all is quiet, all the girls still sleeping, presents all wrapped, Christmas tree's sparlking lights, a nice cozy feeling this morning!

    In the Kitchen...all dark and quiet for now, lot's of baked goodies sitting on the cabinets!

    I am thinking... alot of things but so happy to be in a safe happy home, so thankful to have Jesus Chirst in my life, So thankful for the Peace he gives.

    I am wearing.... a very fleecy snowman housecoat!

    I am praying.... for Dave's safety in the prison today, as he leads all the Christmas Eve services for the guys.

    I am going.... to get cleaned up and off to the bank to make a deposit.

    I am anitipating.... this evening when Dave gets home, and we have our Christmas steak dinner! YUM! Also I can't wait to see the girl's faces when they open those long awaited for pressents!

    I am sharing..... this pic with you....

    The little girl on the bike is DD#3's nieghborhood friend, she always comes to visit riding this all black bike. We wanted to do something special for her for Christmas, so when I heard about Rescue Santa in our local paper, I contacted him about a bike. He gets old bikes and repairs them for kids for Chirstmas. So, he brought this one by Sat morn. We then ran in town and got a basket for it and an outfit and candy for the rest of our gift to her.

    Rescue Santa told us to just tell her this bike just showed up on our porch with her name on it!

    dec09 015

    She was pretty excited, I think a bit overwhelmed!

    the girls going with her to take her old black bike home. It really blessed us to be able to do this for her, and I'm sure she is enjoying the blessing as well. She came to church with us Sunday wearing her new outfit and stayed with us for Sun. Dinner.

  • My week before the "week before Christmas"...

    Mon. it was time to get back into sewing class for the girls, so that was a rushed day to get a few things started at the house then off we went! While we were there DH called and we had locked him out of the house  woops! Yeah I've been more careful lately because of the Holidays and I forgot he didn't have a key! So we didn't get thier Chistmas skirts done and had to ruch home  ! Sewing sheduled again for Friday to hopefully finish them!

    Tues. My dear little family gave me a wonderful gift that day... they left the me home by myself for HOURS! yeah they went Chirstmas shopping for mommy ( a tradition for us. daddy and girls shopping day) So i spent half of my day, no not on the couch (although sounded appealing!) but cleaning our bedroom and doing a decorating project in there that I'd been wanting to do for months...here's a pic

    dec09 006

    I put up the vinal lettering in our bedroom, it wasn't as hard as I thought!   The second half of the day found me shopping for stockings and for DH's a few gifts. I was so indecicive that day! Has anyone else noticed this year the sparce things to choose from in stores for stocking stuffers? I've always been extra picky on this anyway because I don't want to get junk and not too much candy, but this year I have really struggled to find things!

    Wed. I got up this morn and got a call from the dentist office that they wanted to change my appt. from thurs to today, so since I've been dreding it all month anyway, I decided to get it overwith! it was my root canal and they got it finished, had some pain with it later in the day, but doing better today and so thankful to have it done!!!!!

    Thurs.. Wow, finailly a day to stay home and do some fun Christmas stuff,but...my 3yr old come in bed with us about 3 am with a fever. She's been down about all day, I did get my Christmas cards mailed finially, got my baking started, but she was still hot when it was time to go to the two older girls Art and Music program, so I had to miss it and Daddy to since this is his late nite. So disappointing! Rach was in tears which put me in tears, I know they've worked so hard. I sent my camera along for one of the mom's to take and vidio a little for me. I'll try to post pics of it soon.  As I said earlier, tomorrow is supposed to be another sewing day, so I'll try to post pics of that too. Pray they get them done!!!!    It has been a fast crazy week, I also wanted to put the school books away but haven't got that far yet either, How does one month get soooo busy??? I'm just hoping to slow down and get back into the Christmas Spirit real soon!      ~Jill~
