I want their Christmas to be special but not all about gifts, so I put alot of thought into what I will get them.
We usually give them a gift on Christmas Eve. and two other things on Christmas morning, plus a few things in their stockings. They seem to enjoy and play more with their toys when they don't just get package after package.
But back to fall, I love fall . In October my BF and my sisters and I usually make a quick one night trip to
Lancaster, Pa. Then me and some of my friends from nursing school plan a weekend at our farmhouse,
this year it was only going to be three of us and the night before my one freind got sick and so only my
friend Barbara and I were the only ones to go.
But we had a wonderful time, we talked alot, ate alot and laughed alot.
We also took a big drive into WV.
I could have never made it in nursing school without her, we were each others cheerleaders, we cried together and encouraged each other and being older it was alot harder for us going back to school.
But I am proud out of a class of over 60 , there were only twenty something of us that made it.
But I am quite upset how LPN's don't have the respect that they should, at our local hospital, which they assured us wouldn't happen when we were in school. LPN's are considered techs, I am more than a tech,
I dedicated two years of my life to studying and schooling. I would love to be an RN, but no more school for this gal, I want to enjoy my life and my grandchildren. he he
Here is some pictures of Barbara and I at the farmhouse. Warning Picture overload.

Hello, what beautiful scenery, love the falls......sweet Grandkids dressed for Halloween, yum dip, thanks for sharing, Hugs Francine.
Great pictures of your beautiful family and your grandchildren are AWESOME looking in their Halloween costumes.
When I read your blog post I understand 100% about when there was no school and it was a snow day
we had a ball. I enjoyed every minute and miss it so much! I also LOVED summer break with my sons. I would here other mother's say oh I can't wait for school to start and it would make me feel so sad. IDIDN'T want them to go back. My husband and I enjoyed our kiddos so so much and still do even though they are older.
I tell people when I see them with their kiddos enjoy every minute because they grow up SO fast, to FAST if you ask me.
I can't believe we are in Nov. already. The year is flying by us so quick.
Take a pic of your grandson when he comes to see you guys in his costume.
Blessings,
Tricia
I think that is quite an accomplishment at any age, but esp. if you are older and go back to school, and nursing is a hard job from what I hear!!
What a sweet family you have Lecia, and I love the grand~doggie too! Looks like Lassie! LOL
Will have to try your apple dip~ looks delish!!
Can't believe you saw SNOW already!! ugh!! not ready for that yet!
Hugs,
Tanya
So happy to see you and your friend enjoy nature's beauty. You look so pretty standing there in front of the falls.
Zombies are the big thing right now. I watch The Walking Dead between my fingers... LOL.
It's good you're getting started on your Christmas. I say it's never too soon. You certainly have a beautiful family.
