Christmas 2009

Guess what time we celebrated Christmas at our house.....well we tend to do things a little different around here....that's really putting it lightly, but this year it was at three o'clock in the morning!!! For the most part I would say no one has any business even knowing three in the morning exists..but there comes a time when it is appropriate..It seems with our schedules this is when everyone was actually home at the same time..I love doing things together, so what ever time that might be, that's when it happens!! Even though it was the wee hours of the morning, it was great!!

The greatest gift of Christmas, is knowing its all about Jesus, and that His gift is the true and only gift...He has blessed us with so many wonderful things, and among those are the gift of Family and Love for them.....and if you have Love you truly have the greatest gift.

Dad and his girls

My sweet man!

boy is she excited or what

band nerd

and he wonders where they get it from

so excited over yarn of all things

Tree and her apples

Oh no I went shopping without Jesus!!

If you know me at all, you know I am NOT a bah humbug person. I love Christmas, I love Jesus...He is the ONLY reason for the season....I love family, I love spending time with them, I love shopping for presents and blessing my family with them...

With saying all of that, I didn't recognize the lady at all that took over my body this morning and left with my husband to go to slidell and finish Christmas shopping.

I am sure the look of aggravation on my face as I walked the mall, made me a very approachable person, I am pretty sure I tried to hold that door before it shut in last women's face (it didn't actually, but I should have held it open)and I really didn't mean it at all, when I thought in my head, as the busy employee tried his best to help me, that he wasn't very smart at all.... I'm not at all surprised that this strange lady that stole my body didn't have fun, since with every store and every step, she would repeat "This is Horrible". Did I mention it poured down rain too?

I can't lie....no strange lady stole my body and went shopping with my husband, I just really wish I could blame it on her though, because it wasn't until we left and I got in the truck to come home, that the Lord spoke to me and said, "Hmm. probably would have been better if you would have invited me along", you know that kind of sits hard on ya since its His day and all. The response to His statement?......YES, it would have been alot better and oh how it will never happen again!!!

It is so easy to get caught up in things, and forget what your suppose to be doing and what really matters. But God never forgets.

...Thank God He reminded me....

Christmas at Mamaw's

I didnt take as many pictures as I would have like to have, because I was too busy running my mouth and not snapping Pics!!! Of course we had fun, we always do when we are together. Mamaw is holding up her couch quilt that the girls and I made for her. Of course, you can tell what parts of the quilt I made, my parts look like a five year old did it, but the girls part of the quilt looks real good.

Lots of laughs and lots of love
