Christmas countdown...11 days til Christmas


With only eleven days left until Christmas, the parties are getting started. Tonight was Grace's modern dance Christmas party/dance performance. She was amazing as always. Graceful, elegant, beautiful and inspiring. I love to watch Grace dance. She is so precious to me and I am so thankful to have such an amazing daughter.

Christmas count down...12 days til Christmas

There are those days where things are good. Then there are those days when things are perfect! Days that I know are a special gift from God, just because he wants me to understand how much he loves me. This was one of those days. God is so good to me. I love the snow and snow days. This one was picture perfect. From the snow, the snow cream, the gingerbread houses, and the hot chocolate. To the Christmas movies, kids playing Christmas carols on the piano, filling out Christmas cards and spending time with my precious family. I will go ahead and mention (yet again) how much I love this season of the year. Thank you Jesus for loving on me and my family in a special way today.

I Definitely didnt learn from my previous pain...


So I went Christmas shopping tonight for shoes for my children. In case I havent mentioned it, I LOVE CHRISTMAS. I love the shopping, the crowds, the trees, the lights, the smells, the food. I love it all. Christmas season makes for the best of everything. But I digress. I was in the shoe department when it happened. I saw these amazing brown leather boots. Yes I know it was just yesterday that the my new black leather boots made my feet scream out in pain. But, I just couldn't resist. These boots were amazing and oh so soft. The evening ended after everyone tried the new peppermint milkshakes from Chick-fil-a, the boys saw Santa Claus, a few Christmas presents were bought, and "momma got a new pair of shoes."

It is beginning to look a lot like Christmas....

I LOVE CHRISTMAS. I love everything about it. The lights, the crowds, the shopping, the presents, the smells, the food, the decorations, and most of all my Jesus. We spent the evening at Dollywood. After seeing all the sights, riding a few rides, and drinking a HUGE mug of hot chocolate, I am offically in the Christmas spirit.

Most people enjoy going to Dollywood in the summer but I love it at Christmas. It is a magical place. For me it brings back all the joy and wonder of childhood Christmas.

Letterboxing, my old friend...





It has been several weeks since our last letterboxing adventure. Boy, did I miss it. Today was the perfect day to get back on the band wagon. We headed out to Victor Ashe Park, which just happens to be my favorite local park. For those of you who keep asking me about going, now is the perfect time. The weather is perfect. The poison ivy/oak is gone. And the snakes are nowhere to be found. By all means start finding those boxes.

Down on the Farm

This was a terrific day for a field trip. The weather was absolutely perfect. The company was superb with great friends and even a few new ones. The farm was beautiful with lots to do and see. There was a corn maze, inflatables, a corn box, animals, hayride, train ride, and much more. And to top it all off, the price was very affordable!!
