My Christmas Tree

Chris and Leia put our tree up this year while I tried to do a little Christmas shopping. Santa's that Mamaw made. These stay up all year round.

Can you find my Snoopy cat ordainment that my Aunt Joyce made when we were kids? I also have some homemade Santa's on the tree from Mamaw. I also have a picture of my cat Nermal on the tree. Tyler is up there as well some where.

Stockings hung by the T.V. with care.

A funny story

The other day Leia got in the shower and asked if I could find her a washcloth. We use to have like 50 of them but they have dwindled down to like 5. So of course that day I couldn't find any and grumbled that her dad probably has used them for rags and I can't find any. I went to the kitchen to get a dishcloth for her and found a few washcloths accidental tossed in there. So Leia was a happy camper.
So a few days later when she was watching TV, a commercial came on about a spy camera and how she wanted it really bad. I asked her what on earth would she do with a spy camera. She said,"To spy on daddy when he's in the bathroom!"I almost chocked. SO I was thinking the worst like how do I have this conversation with her thinking that shes all into the curious stage Blah Blah Blah... So I sheepishly asked her why on earth would she want to spy on her daddy in the bathroom? She smiles really big and says." To see if he's really the one stealing all the washcloths!" I couldn't stop laughing. Such a sweet innocent answer. She'll keep y0u on your toes.

PS. After I wrote this I went on a hunt for washcloths. I found a pile of them so we're good. They were hiding under a bunch of towels. So Chris is off the hook for the missing washcloths.

Happy Thanksgiving

Just want to wish everyone a Happy Thanksgiving. I got up early this morning to put the turkey in the oven. Every year I say I'm not doing Thanksgiving cooking(It's only the 3 of us) What's wrong with Chicken, mashed potatoes,and a can of green beans? It's close enough to the Thanksgiving meal??? Totally wrong. I normally cave at the last minuet and frantically go to the store and buy everything and make a huge meal. This year was different. I told Chris the same as before, but bless his heart, he went out and bought everything for a fantastic Thanksgiving dinner.I made the pumpkin pie last night and the cornbread for Mamaw's stuffing.I put the 14 lb turkey in the oven this morning with carrots, onion and potato's to roast along with the bird. Leia made a fruit salad last night and I have a can of green beans and cranberry sauce to open. And last but not least to heat up some dinner rolls. SO I have a feast for a king. I hope everyone has a wonderful Thanksgiving and to know that you all are in our hearts thinking about you and missing everyone.

Soccer Party

We had a soccer party for the kids.We had it at the bowling alley in Sumter. The kids had a lot of fun.


Their trophies.

Chris made the coaches trophy. He made the model dragon and painted it. Then he found some scrap metal and painted it up like a soccer field.We then had the kids sign their names on it. It turned out totally awesome.
