Sun!

The sun has got his hat on today! Hip, hip, hip, hooray! (this is the little ditty Dave sings on days like today)    :)

Reindeer Games

I have a fun, silly husband.....who is always making up games. The latest is to take my hair clip and pin it onto the Christmas Tree somewhere.....and I am supposed to go find it. Silliest game I've ever played!!! :)~

Can you see it?

Why there is delight in this for him, I'll never know!!!

Catching Up.........

As assumed, it's not the taking of a picture every day that's difficult....it's the carving out time to download them that I find no time to do! Good thing this "December Photo Project" is just for December! ;)

So, here's a random smattering of shots from the past couple of days:

 Sent.

I enjoy sending out Christmas cards....if for no other reason than I'm actually giving the USPS some business! :) With online bill-pay options, I truly rarely use a good ol' fashioned stamp! Seriously though, there's something about sending some handwritten notes, filled with the Hope of the season, to those I hold dear. Maybe some year I'll get clever enough to write a jingle filled, humorous family newsletter.

On second thought, don't hold your breath! :)~


...............................................................................

For being a tiny little town, Morning Sun does a great job at holding Holiday festivities. Here's the entrance for the "festival of trees".....the night before was a soup supper complete with horse and carriage rides through Main Street. 

 ..............................................................................

Here's our Christmas Tree in the daytime.....did I mention I picked this up for $3 at a garage sale??!! Gotta love a good deal! :) I think it could use something different though....not for sure what.....I'll be curious as to what next year brings.

Toy Donkey.

When I opened up my essential oil package this month, inside I found a little toy donkey. Random?! I think so! I have no idea how or why it was there! But, it sure made me smile! :)

Preparations

This is our Jesse Tree thus far.....we're a little behind, I think, but no doubt we'll catch up soon! :) I LOVE retelling God's story in anticipation for the fullness of Christ! 

Glowing

She'll need more lights next year....and maybe a full make-over, but for now, she's looking quite festive in our living room!

Shipped

Here's what my table has been looking like lately.....getting things shipped to friends in far away places, specifically to England and Texas! :)

Snow!

This is what we woke up to this morning.....

The first snow (that sticks) is sooooo pretty! And exciting and peaceful and calm. Of course, it's even more wonderful since I don't have to go out today! :)~

I should probably go take some more pictures...that really show the loveliness of it all.
