in Christmas...

and all that it brings...

Craig and DH have to work today...

when Craig gets home, we will open presents...

he gets off at 8pm...

Christmas morning, we will get up and start cooking dinner...

and eat around noonish...

maybe before...

keeping it simple this time...

ham, mashed potatoes, noodles...

cheesecake...

from our home to yours...

Merry Christmas...

we are not great...

because of who we are...

we are AWESOME because of who lives within us...

Merry Christmas...

for unto us...

a child was born...

the savior...

our savior...

;)

its coming...

and its not going to take very long at all...

what are your plans for the week?

Craig has to work Christmas eve...

so when he gets home...

around 9ish...

we will open presents...

and then have our dinner on Christmas day...

which everyone has off...

and the guys will watch tv and dose in the recliners...

I have been fighting a head/chest thingy with too much fluid in my ears...

so going to kick back and let the guys take care of me and do all the dinner stuff...

;)

they will do just fine...

and I get a mini vacation...

then over the weekend we have to pack up the left over toys and get them ready for storage...

;)

55 kids so far this year...

;)

photos are from here in town on our drive arounds...

have a fun and safe week...

wishing y'all a very Merry Christmas...

are you ready?

a new guy that I found earlier this month...

I like silly mooses...

got the shopping all done now...

and the wrapping, I think...

well, maybe not...

I am the type to shop all year long...

then forget what I bought and where I hid it...

its all good...

I just don't have to shop for valentines, easter or birthdays...

been having a dandy time with fluid in my ears this week...

gagging and all the fun that goes with that...

called off the dentist- going in January now...

but I finally feel human again today...

not doing a whole lot...

finishing up the toy drive...

added another one...

but we are caught up for now..

I can't believe its next week!

I hate when its over...

I like all the days before it comes...

when people care about each other...

there's a feeling in the air...

like God is so close...

all the time...

anywhere you go...

;)

I like this time of the year...

and its not about the presents...

I would be fine if I got nothing for Christmas...

the important part for me is what I give away...

;)

are you ready?

for Christmas?
