December 08 Pre Christmas

Blake did very well in his Christmas program at school this year. He sang VERY loud and knew all the words. He also had a special part at the manger scene.

It is very difficult to take a "family" picture of yourself. Even with the timer, it was hard to get both dogs to cooperate by the time the shutter went off on the camera. This is the best I could do.


I went with a classic look on my outside lights this year.

A little snow would have made it picture perfect. But,alas, it was not to be. No white Christmas, even in Ohio.


One of my favorite Christmas ornaments. Each year I would make one with the boys' picture on it.

My tree was nothing special this year. I put multi-colored lights on it for the first time in AGES! After it was finished I remembered why I hadn't used colored lights. But it was done and with so much work put into it, I wasn't about to take it down.

Not exactly the manger scene I wanted, but it it will do for now. I would like to design and make one of my own some day.

Sorry, Brutus. I found them in the decoration box and I just couldn't resist. He was a pretty good sport but I don't even want to know what Munchkin is thinking here!!



At our December Mary Kay unit meeting, I won $100! I used it to buy a new vacuum for my hard-wood floors and an attachment for my dryer.
