New Year's Eve

New Year's Eve was fun. We ate lots of good food and watched movies. Our kids had friends over and they stayed up all night. It was good to be out of the cold weather and have some good wholesome fun. Before long we will be doing this all over again. The years fly by so fast.

Day after Christmas

Can't believe it's the day after Christmas already. My sons and I are going shopping to see if we can find any bargains. We will probably be gone most of the day. It's just so fun to get away with my sons once in awhile cause we don't get to do it very often. I'm sure we will probably spend too much money. Now it's time to move onto the new Year.

Working Christmas weekend

I'm bummed that I have to work the weekend right before Christmas this year. At least I have Christmas day off. It makes it hard to figure out when we can do family Christmas's. It will all work out. Hopefully next year I won't have to work so much around Christmas but I bet I will.

Smorgasbord

We went to a Swedish smorgasbord at church the other night. We have it every December around Christmas time. So much to eat and very yummy. Lots of people in our church attend this and it's a great tradition in our church. The Swedish deserts are the best. Of course I was miserably full by the end of the night.

After Thanksgiving shopping

The after Thanksgiving Christmas shopping can be alot of fun but it can also be very frustrating.
Fighting crowds and finding out that things you are looking for that are on sale are out of stock.
Even though it can be frustrating I still enjoy it and it's a great way to kick off the Christmas season.

Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving is a great time to get together with family and enjoy food and fellowship together.
It would be nice to have more Thanksgiving days during the year so that it is a reminder to all of us to be thankful for everything God has given us and done for us.

Trick or Treat

Trick or Treat time is here. The costumes are so cute and the little children have so much fun.
The variety of costumes are fun to see and the creativity of some children or should I say parents is really neat as to what they come up with for these costumes. They are so unique and fun. I don't know how they come up with their ideas sometimes but it's pretty cool.
