no doubt it's that time of year where our noses turn red, our fingers get numb and the kiddos keep saying "i want to go outside?" lol
i know i haven't blogged much but with the holidays quickly approaching my time has been limited.
hope you and your family make the best memories EVAH this year! {hugs}
wow, i have never been so busy around the holidays as i have this year! i am breathing a bit easier today as my baby sister's wedding is done. everything went well and she and her hubby surprised me today with a 'thank you' gift for planning their wedding and following it through. :)
on a sad note: shortly after leaving the church the couple (along with a couple friends) hit a deer which led to a delay in arriving to the reception and a pretty much totaled their new car. :( surprisingly, neither one was too upset about it....which was great for all of us. thankfully the state police waited for the tow truck to arrive and they doubled up in a couple vehicles that were following them to the reception. what an interesting story to share later. hmmm.
just look at this gorgeous couple!
***i will have more photos later...these are just a few that i was able to get between overseeing the wedding. lol
i'm sure that i'm not the only one with a busy schedule this time of year. to add to my craziness, my youngest sister is getting married this coming saturday (dec. 13th). so, being the event planner i am, i am helping her with everything! oh help me now! lol
last weekend we attended hubby's work Christmas party...being that he works for a local railroad the kiddos were excited to see what went on. the food was great, a little crowded but was worth it as the kiddos got to walk through an engine and caboose! there were clowns and other activities for the kiddos as well. good times.
also, since it's been snowing, hubby has made a few helpings of 'snow icecream'. this is a family tradition he has enjoyed growing up and the kiddos love it!
hope everyone is enjoying their holidays!
for Christmas that is!!!! :) i have my two trees up, a few home decor items but i'm not finished shopping or wrapping gifts YET! hoping this weekend I will be done.
please note: new carpet and crown/baseboard molding is on our tax return list. ha! ;)
i've sloooowwwwwlllllyyyy been working on some holiday stuff. here is a cute, cute mini treat package that i found the instructions to on this site!
then i decided to make my tags for all my gifts this year. here are a couple of them that i will be using. i have made about 20 so far...still need many more. lol they are fairly simple but still more cute than the stick on tags i use to use. ;)
i'll be back VERY soon to share my holiday cards!!! :)
this link was posted by a sweet scrappy girl on a site i frequent. i just had to share...these organizations are unbelieveable! of course the prizes they are offering doesn't hurt to look at but if you get a chance, please visit and read about what they do. {i also will keep this in my right side column}
