Most important the Nativity with Daddy's Bible, and paper whites begining to bloom.
Titus' stocking the 3 guys pengiuns ice skating...the stocking is hidden, b/c he cannot keep his 2 yr old hands out of it !
Noah's stocking, it a needlepoint pic of him sitting with kitten by fire, and the stone on stocking holder is NOT coal, but a rock treasure he found !

Christmas are you getting Ready?

Christmas is my favorite time of year, and there is much fun planned for our family.
Tonight we will tour Historical Downtown Leesburg for their First Friday night.
The local shops will be decorated, and stay open late. A young couple from our home town will be here to visit with us.
We will get our live Christmas tree, put lights on it, and hope it survives, at least until Christmas Eve. when we will put out collection of mish mash decorations.
Our church will have 4 services Christmas Eve. I will volunteer in nursery for one, sit with family for another, then eat "Pastor's & Worship teams' dinner" at another.
Fresh cold cuts and chips, lol !
I'll keep updating and hopefully share pictures of the upcoming events :D

Feels like Christmas

Today I received the package I won from My Litter of Six,
it's awesome ! vibrating mascara, bounce for the dryer......and more.
But i did my make-up and a load of laundry inspired to use the new products.
I wish I could say I used up the Magic Erasers scrubbing everything from the tub to the grime laden bedroom door, but alas i am moving.
Hubby needed some prescription for his dental visit coming up on Thursday,
3 prescriptions, major dental work.I started putting my feelers out to find new prescription coupons from stores to make a profit off these medicines.
No avail the Internet failed me, my blogging friends had no links, then the mail came ! Safeway wants me to renew my customer card and accept a $30 new prescription coupon, sure !
On an unrelated note my 2 yr old slept until 10 a.m., and he's not sick......thus it feels like Christmas, here.
