that is kinda like my families Christmas, since we all can't get together at Christmas, so I am getting excited.
Last weekend my husband and I kept our grandchildren Cole and Riley we had so much fun
with them. We played games and they made me Christmas lists. My other little grandson Jake
came a couple days later and saw their lists hanging on the refridgerator. He wanted to make one too,
well every page of the toy catalog was cut up practically so I had to get another toy book for him.
So when he comes here again we will make his list. My son also brought him
to our house trick or treating last week, since he was away
on Halloween, the cutest bat you ever saw!!!!
I made a snowman and santa set yesterday,
I will post a picture, I want to decorate with alot of greenery from outside this year. (So
I just put them in a pan with some cedar).
Our church participated in operation Christmas child and collected boxes on Sunday.
They have to be mailed early so they can arrive to the different countries by Christmas.
That is one of my favorite things to do at Christmas. I would love to see those little faces
when they open their boxes. It is such a warm feeling, that is the true meaning of what Christmas is about.

ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful family! I am so looking forward to being a grandma...how I remember the days when the boys would wear that old toy catalog out flipping the pages over and over.
ReplyDeleteYour snowman and Santa are adorable!
Enjoy your day and yes, I can't believe it is going to be Thanksgiving soon! Where DID the time go?
What Adorable Grandchildren you have!
ReplyDeleteMy 11-yr. old still cuts apart the toy catalog and makes lists. He likes the Hunting dolls that come with all the accessories and animals.
I Love your Snowman and Santa! So Adorable.
Have a wonderful day!
Good morning Lecia~ November already!!?? It is crazy! Time sure flies when you are having fun. And it sounds like you are enjoying life! Grandchildren are the best, aren't they. They help you put things in perspective and think about the little things. I have always loved being on the giving end when it comes to the holidays. That to me is the best part. We have Malagasy been part of Samaritan's purse or operation Christmas Angel, or giving baskets at Thanksgiving. True blessings!
ReplyDeleteI love your new Santa and snowman, how cute. I can't wait to decorate for Christmas, but I will wait til after Thanksgiving. Of course I am playing around with some Christmas displays and trees for my business,so I get a little out of my system early.
Wishing you an your family a wonderful Thanksgiving ~Sara
