Good Morning

Boy it is very cold here this morning. Last night about 5:30 it started raining and rained all night long. This morning when I went out to start the van before taking the kiddos to school the van door was froze shut from the rain and the falling temps. Some of the puddles were solid ice. Guess it was a good thing the rain stopped before the temps dropped or we would have had a mess.

I got my nativity set out yesterday. This was made in ceramics by my MIL years ago. I have taken pics of the "sets" and a pic of the whole lot.





Also while I was home from work yesterday I stitched some on my afghan. I have just about completed the blue bird. I should be able to finish that up and start on the rest of the branch tonight after work. At this point I may just reach my goal early.

Well, I have potato soup cooking I need to check on and then I think I will read until time for work. Have a blessed day!

Off work today

Since I am off work today, I should be able to get my Nativity set up and some stitching done on my afghan. I will take some pics tonight so I can get them posted tomorrow.

Since I cleaned the house last week from top to bottom and I have been doing laundry every morning before work I don't have anything much to do today. I love having a day off and it being free. We are giving our parents scrapbooks of the kids for Christmas. I hope I can get some work in on those today also. I still have to print a bunch of the band pics out to put in the albums and the kiddos will be having their pics made together Friday night.

Well I am off to fix some breakfast and then start my day. Have a blessed one.

Finally some pics

Okay first we will start with some pics of the house decorated for Christmas.









I still have to put up the Nativity and I hope to do that tonight after work.

Here is also the promised pic of the Snowbuddies Afghan I am working on.



I am on the bottom border about half through with it. My goal is to finish the bottom border by years end so in January I can start on the middle section of the afghan. Wish me luck.

Off to get ready for work again. Have a blessed day!

Hope everyone had a wonderful

Thanksgiving weekend. Ours started on Wednesday when my son and I spent the entire day chopping, dicing, baking etc getting things ready for Thursday. He baked a chocolate cake by himself and it was WONDERFUL!!!! The boy will be a chef one day. Thursday we cooked the turkey and had my mom, one brother, and his mom all for dinner. It was a great time. Another brother and his two kids stopped by later in the day and visited with us for a little while. Aimee and I was up at 3 on black Friday. We had breakfast at IHOP then hit the shopping. We literaly shopped till we dropped but had a great time. Saturday was decorate the tree day. Ours is up and Will's is up in his room. Aimee's should go up tonight. I still have to put out the Nativity and all the snowmen. Once that is done I will take some pics and post them.

I have put all of my stitching away except for my Snowbuddies Afghan. I will concentrate on this one over the holiday season. I will try to take pics tonight and post my progress beginning tomorrow. We should be getting some snow flakes around here today which would be great by me. Gotta do a few things around the house then I will head off to work. Noon to six for me most of the week.

Have a blessed day!!!!
