Good morning! Every morning the Christmas countdown gets changed. These guys say it is FIVE! Time sure does fly by between Thanksgiving and Christmas, but you all know that RIGHT?
I have shoulder issues and it has kept me from doing a lot of things. Thanks to my Sister Cindy and Niece Britani, the nutcrackers that my precious Sister Barbara gifted me over the years were rescued from the attic...
AND they decorated my tree:) I am SO thankful for family!
My sweet Husband got the outside decorated, the lights make me smile!
My little poolhouse glows morning and night!

The Thanksgiving cactus is still blooming!
We had a photo shoot for the Great-grands:) They are coming for a sleepover tomorrow and I can't wait to see their smiles while playing with the nutcrackers and opening a few early gift:)
My Niece Kelly delivered an early Christmas gift for me to enjoy during the Holidays. I sure have enjoyed it's blooms that just keep on blooming!
We celebrated my daughter Tracy's 51st Bday! She is and always will be my BFF!
We had lunch together, ate good food and shared hugs!
My Sister Cindy hosted a candy-making/ornament swap party! We had the best food and made several kinds of Christmas candy! SO much fun!!!
She made us aprons too, aren't we cute?
Yesterday, Jameson's school put on a spectacular Christmas program. HE smiled the entire time!
We visited his classroom for some snacks and fun! Jameson's teacher bragged on him, I love her!
Brooklyn's class party was at the same time as Jameson's, SO we couldn't be both places. Autumn was there to enjoy her party and take pics. Brooklyn won the prize for her decorated self:)
Marc and I got to get a picture with the Big Guy:)
I felt the need to catch up, I haven't forgotten about you all and miss seeing what you are up to. My shoulder is keeping me from lots of normal activities but help is on the way! I hope you all have a Very Merry Christmas and a HAPPY NEW YEAR ahead! Sending HUGS and PRAYERS your way!
Wow, 5 days til Christmas! I can't believe that but it does look like your family is in the full swing of things. Merry Christmas!

DeleteThe 13th pic from the top - the little girl in the middle with the white bow in her hair. Oh, my goodness. I thought for a minute that was my granddaughter, Summer!! Looks just like her when she was that age.
