Christmas 2008

Adventure in Gingerbread!

So since the kids are out of school and I am stuck at home not being able to finish my shopping, we decided to make our gingerbread house that Grandma Sharon got us! I think it actually turned out pretty cute!

Im GeTtin NutTin 4 ChRisTmAs!

Bryn had her Christmas dance recital last night, and even though the music guy didnt show up or the lights guy they did a GREAT job! They did it to Im getting nuttin for Christmas and had to make a pouty face, which is funny cause they usually have to make sure to smile! It was so cute, you did great Bean!

Horses and Pigs and Geese oh MY!

I took the kids to Wheely Farm ( the name my nephew chris gave it when he was little and it stuck ) to do pictures for our card, they turned out so cute! Although it was freezing, and we got chased by im not kidding 40 HUGE geese. I thought we had out run them and I turn around and they are coming around the corner honking! I took a picture but it doesnt show nearly as many as there were, the rest hadnt come around yet. I made them go back today cause one shot just wasnt quite right, and boy didnt I get an ear full for making them do it again! :) Im a little bit of a perfectionist when it comes to that, sorry Jade get used to it! Im excited to finally work on our cards! Yay~

This picture does not do it justice!

O Christmas Tree

Yesterday was our yearly trip to the tree lot. We first eat of course, and then head to Starbucks for lattes and hot chocolate. The kids like going to this lot to see the reindeer and Santa. Santa wasnt there this time, I guess he was busy! It usually takes me ALONG time to find the PERFECT tree... But this time, I walked around the corner and there it was! It was strange to not be walking around in the snow and cold for an hour while I try to decide which one I want! But it was still fun, one of my favorite things we do over the holidays! Now our house smells absolutely YUMMY and I cant wait to decorate it! Hopefully that and the fact it snowed will make me in the Christmas mood!

sleep my angel

Sometimes when Steve is gone there is a little angel that finds her way to my bed. She has always been so cuddly and cozy to sleep with, so its hard to kick her out. She looked extra angelic this time, and it reminded my of a song by Howard Jones.. Here are the lyrics.......

Sleep my angel
It is time for bed
I will be there
To watch over you
Ill protect you from the world
And the voices in your head
Ill be with you
With my life I will defend
Ill be with you
I will be there in the end

And Ill cry your tears
As you feel every pain
Coax out the sun
From the endless rain
Thought Id never feel
So much love for another
Ill be with you
I will be there in the end

Love that is there
Through the false and the real
Love that desires
No reward and no gain
As I hold your tiny hand
Youll never know how I feel
Theres a promise
With my life I will defend
I will be there with you til the end

And Ill cry your tears
As you feel every pain
Coax out the sun
From the endless rain
Thought Id never feel
So much love for another
Ill be with you
I will be there til the end

All that potential
Bursting inside
Let me help you on your journey
Let me help you with life

I will be there with you til the end
