| ONE OF OUR TRADITIONS..... |
....IS ORNAMENT MAKING AND DECORATING. IT'S SO MUCH FUN! WE HAVE A "KID" TREE IN THE DINING ROOM, AND A "MOMMY" TREE IN THE LIVING ROOM. THE KIDS TREE GETS ALL THE SCHOOL-MADE ORNAMENTS, AND THE ONES WE MAKE ON ORNAMENT MAKING DAY AT HOME. THE KIDDOS DECORATE THIS TREE AS THEY WISH. IT ALWAYS TURNS OUT ADORABLE! THE TREE IN THE LIVING ROOM GETS MY COLLECTABLE ORNAMENTS, THE ONES THAT ARE BREAKABLE, ETC. PULLING OUT ORNAMENTS EACH YEAR IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE THINGS TO DO. EACH ONE HAS ITS OWN STORY AND MEMORY. PIX OF OUR TREES TO COME!!!  Labels: holidays |

| Thanksgiving |
IT'S BEEN A GREAT DAY! WE ARE SOOOO BLESSED. WE HAVE SPENT THE DAY WITH LOTS, AND LOTS, AND LOTS OF FAMILY. WE HAVE EATEN LOTS, AND LOTS, AND LOTS OF FOOD. WE HAVE LOTS, AND LOTS, AND LOTS TO BE THANKFUL FOR.
WE HAVE SPENT TIME TALKING WITH OUR CHILDREN ABOUT HOW BLESSED WE ARE , AND HOW OUR HEARTS SHOULD BE GENEROUS AND GIVING. I TRUELY BELIEVE EACH OF OUR CHILDREN HAS A GENEROUS AND GIVING HEART. FOR THIS, I FEEL VERY BLESSED. Labels: holidays |

SHOPPING AGAIN TODAY. THIS TIME WITH MOM, MY SIS, AND NEPHEW. NEPHEW IS HAVING 9 MONTH OLD PICTURES TAKEN TODAY, THEN WE ARE HEADED OUT. EXCITEMENT!
WE ARE EXCITED ABOUT TOMORROW TOO! IT'S THANKSGIVING!! WE WILL HEAD TO HUBBY'S FAMILY TOMORROW MORNING, AND END THE DAY WITH MY FAMILY TOMORROW NIGHT. TOTAL TRAVEL TIME WILL BE ABOUT 2 HOURS WITH THE KIDDOS IN THE SUBURBAN. NOT BAD, AND SOME VERY DELICIOUS FOOD. WE ARE ALL EXCITED TO VISIT WITH FAMILY. I WILL, OF COURSE, HAVE PICTURES!
ON FRIDAY, WE WILL CONTINUE WITH THE DECORATING 'ROUND HERE. THE KIDDOS WILL DECOR THEIR TREE. WE WILL HAVE LOTS OF SNACK FOODS, HOLIDAY MUSIC, AND ORNAMENT MAKING. IT'S BECOME A TRADITION. I LOVE TRADITION!
SATURDAY WILL BRING A BIRTHDAY PARTY IN THE MORNING FOR THE LITTLES, THEN HEADING TO LET THE KIDDOS SHOP FOR EACHOTHER. THIS GETS CONFUSING, BUT IT'S FUN. WE WILL ALSO GO SEE "THE PEANUTS GANG: ICE SHOW" AND A CHRISTMAS CAROL IN 3D. IS THAT AN ACTIVITY PACKED DAY OR WHAT!?

| MARIONETTES |
LITTLE SIS HAS LOVED MARIONETTES FOR A LONG TIME. WE EVEN HAD A MARIONETTE PERFORMANCE AT HER 5TH BIRTHDAY PARTY. NOW LITTLE BRO IS GETTING INTO IT. THEY EACH HAVE NEW MARIONETTES, AND WERE PUTTING ON A SHOW THIS AFTERNOON IN THE LIVINGROOM. THEY MADE A BACKDROP AND THE WHOLE NINE YARDS.  (BY THE WAY, AM I SPELLING "MARIONETTE" CORRECTLY?)

| I'M HEADED TO THE......... |
BEAUTY SHOP!!! I'M SO EXCITED!! I HAVEN'T BEEN IN 10 WEEKS. MY HAIR AS OF LATE IS A SHORT WEDGE CUT THAT I HAVE LOVED. THE THING IS THAT THE STYLE HAS GROWN OUT , AND YOU CAN'T EVEN TELL WHAT IT'S SUPPOSE TO LOOK LIKE. MY COLOR IS ALWAYS INTERESTING TOO. MY STYLIST DOES DARKER IN BACK AND LIGHTER AROUND MY FACE. WELL, THAT'S ALL MESSED UP TOO, WITH GROWN OUT ROOTS, ETC. YUCK! I DON'T KNOW WHEN I'VE BEEN SO EXCITED TO GO TO THE BEAUTY SHOP! AND, GUESS WHAT! I'M TREATING MYSELF TO A FACIAL WHILE THERE! SHHHHHH!!!
AFTER I'M BEAUTIFIED, HUBBY AND I ARE HEADED SHOPPING. FUN! FUN! FUN! HE'S A REALLY GREAT SHOPPING COMPANION. WE WILL LOOK FOR ORNAMENT STUFF FOR OUR ORNAMENT -MAKING NIGHT. WE WILL LOOK FOR CHRISTMAS GIFTS. AND WE HAVE DECIDED WE WANT A NEW LOOK FOR OUR BEDROOM. WE MIGHT EVEN HIT A FEW ANTIQUE STORES, AND VIEW THE FURNITURE. I PREDICT WE WILL END THE DAY WITH A LITTLE MELLOW MUSHROOM.
WELL, HEADED TO THE KITCHEN/COFFEE POT , THAT IS. I NEED FUEL FOR THE DAY. IT'S HARD WORK, BUT SOMEBODY HAS TO DO IT. |

| I can't stand.... |
....an empty pot! Our first sign of Christmas decor. The ferns have had it! We've had them since May. They've been good ferns, but frost, etc has made them look a bit pitiful. And since I can't stand an empty pot, I snuck to the back yard and snipped some magnolia and pine, add a few pinecones, and there we have filled the front porch pots for the Holidays. I plan to buy some wide satin red ribbon to tie around the necks of the pots for a little color. I LOVE DECORATING FOR THE HOLIDAYS!!! READY, SET, GO!  Labels: decor |
