Out with the old, in with the new...

Hello, there -

just a quick stop by to wish everyone a blessed New Year. I am so grateful of all the blessings our family has enjoyed over the past 12 months. We had continued health, a roof over our heads (which no longer leaks - yay!), meaningful work, enough resources to provide for our family and be able to help others, our furry family members to keep us company and provide entertainment. We shared plenty of laughs and also a few heartaches.
My hope is that this coming year brings great things for all of us and our country, and that those in need will find helping hands and kind hearts around them. Please say a prayer for those far away from home defending our freedoms and honor the memory of those we lost this past year.
To my friends and family, I wish you all the best and love you.
C.

The most wonderful time of the year...

Hello and Merry Christmas to all!!!

I'm hoping that this is a time for all to celebrate not only the birth of our savior, but also family, friends, love, laughter and compassion.
We were able to celebrate with our extended family on Christmas Eve as my hubby had to work today.

I'm just stopping by my itty bitty corner of blogland to post a few pictures of our Christmas along with a few Christmas projects I've been working on.

Here's our tree (this is our first year without the little kid's tree, so now our Veggie Tales ornaments are finding a new home next to my angels and girly things). I'm going for "Something for everyone in the family"... now I just need to come up with some manly man ornaments... hmmm.

Here's us opening some presents:

And of course the Christmas projects

bookmarks, key fobs, bag for Little One

Ipod and cell phone case for Big Guy

and for some cuteness here's the note Little One left for Santa last night:

Merry Christmas to all and to all a Goodnight!!!

Love, C.
