Christmas Countdown - 2013

[snowflake22]

Hi Gang... its been a long while since I have posted in here. Been in a kind of holiday funk for the past several months. Halloween, Christmas and Thanksgiving were good but felt like things were missed or rushed. Was not prepared for how busy we were with both kids and hubby involved in the midget football league. Our youngest doesnt want to play football this year so that will free up a good amount of time for me so that will allow for more time to enjoy the season. There was also some family drama that didnt help either.

This year WILL be better as I am already feeling it. A couple gift have already been bought, got more gift ideas written down and started planing for Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas.

Well I hope everyone has a great day!

Hi Minta!

Nice to see you!!

I am so looking forward to Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas this year, too. We were preparing to move, and did so right after Christmas. I felt like I missed the holidays. So, I understand where you're coming from.

Hope things are going better for you, now.

Take good care, hope to see you more often =]

Good morning, friends! Happy first day of spring! How is everyone? All is well here. Just sitting here relaxing with all of you and drinking a cup of coffee. DH is working and the kids are at preschool and daycare.

Last night was so much fun. The girls had a blast. My friend's daughter is always a little bashful, but by the middle of dinner, she opened up and was started to be herself. They both had a lot of fun. She brought EA a gift for inviting her along. I thought that was so sweet. Little girls have such sweet hearts. She got her a Hello Kitty Ty Beanie Baby, that was dressed like a Easter Bunny - EA slept with it last night. :-D

What are everyone's plans for today? I don't have a lot to do. I am going to sweep the house, do some wash, and figure out what we're going to do for dinner.

Hope you're all having a great day so far! I am going to get caught up on the posts. Talk to you guys here later on. God Bless! Talk soon! cheesy

Glad to hear that you guys had a good time!!!!!

Hello MMC!

Happy Wednesday ;-)

I have Christmas on the brain! And to reference my good friend Seawaters, "I'm spending money like I've got it!" (How did you phrase that again?!)

Anyways, I bought some Christmas dvd's last night, a few that I've seen, and a few I haven't, but that sound really heartwarming.

The ones I've seen being back so many memories.They are Spirit of Christmas- a classic! And Miracle At Christmas; Ebbie's Story.

My MIL, Dorothy's surgery went well & Adrian is with her at the hospital for the next few days. Thanks again for your prayers!

Hope you all have a fabulous day!!

I mentioned earlier that I will be working on continuing my organizational stuff. It is not that I am doing spring cleaning. I am actually doing this to get things moved out of the kitchen/den area to begin the work on the gourmet kitchen. We are still awaiting approval of the plans. Hubby worked so hard on them, but it is something he loves to do. My son gave him a current "issue" of AutoCad, the professional level one. He is like a kid with a new toy, and my son just loved being able to do something for him! TTYL

I got the sledge hammer all warmed up this morning so just let me know when I need to be there!!!!!

 

[sugar142286]

I want it!!!!!!!!

I won't even show it to DH. He will want it too - he will want it as his newest toy to ride in the yard...with the kids, take camping, etc. cheesy

Good morning, sugar!!

Glad you girls had such a wonderful time last night!!

That was very thoughtful of your friend's daughter to bring a gift for EA. little girls are extra sweet!

Good afternoon, Snowflake! Hope you're having a great day!

Little girls are so sweet! It was so nice of her - I wish they could stay little forever, but we all know it doesn't stay that way!

 

[Seawaters]

That's exactly how I worded it, Snowflake, LOL!!! Also, with this new cancer concern, "I'm living life like somebody left the gate open!" I am going to check out those DVDs you mentioned, then I can spend money like I got it!!!

Glad to hear that things went well with Dorothy. I am so glad and I am sure you and Adrian are happy that you are able to enjoy having his mom around.

[Seawaters]

Will do, Made! All meals are included, LOL!

[snowflake22]

You've never met my youngest niece!!!!! :lol:

Hahaha!! You're funny!
But you can't fool me, I know you still love & adore her =)

My sister just e-mailed me that my niece has been having major temper tantrums lately! ... and I'm driving half way (about 50 miles) to meet them for a girl's lunch on Saturday, LOL. Wish me luck!!
On a happy note, Alyssa is usually on her best behavior around me. We have a blast together!

 

[snowflake22]

Special thanks again for your thoughts & prayers for Dorothy; Seawaters, CS, sugar, and made!!

She is a special lady, and means a lot to us.
