A Christmas Tree Blunder

Good Afternoon!

Have you felt like your Christmas was like one of those classic movies that everything was going wrong?

Well, that's what was going on here as we were preparing for the Holidays.  

The good thing was my husband came home from an extended business trip after being away for 

2  1/2 mnths.  We waited to get the Christmas tree until he arrived.

We picked out the best one (we thought)..but this tree tricked us.

But then after I get all the lights on the tree and break out in hives doing that...half the lights went out.  Yes, on brand new lights!

 So, we had to take those lights off and find the bulb to fix that.

Then we decided to all sleep in our family room and watch Christmas movies.  It seemed like a great idea until this happened..

At 2am the Christmas Tree fell on my daughter.. there was glass everywhere.  I am telling you I don't think this tree wanted to leave the tree farm.

I am happy to report that we fixed it and my daughter is doing fine.  There should be no long term trauma from this : )

Have you had anything out of the ordinary happen to you?

I will show you all our decorations and how we are spending our time together thus far : )

Wishing you all joy and happiness.  God bless.

Thoughtful Giving

How was everyone's Christmas?

This one for me was a doozy.  I think Santa thought I was a bad girl this year because on Christmas Eve I was visited by the stomach flu.

It got better when I saw a package from my sister come in the mail.  She always gives me the most thoughtful gifts and I wanted to share it with you.

She took these pics when she came and visited me this summer.  She's a great photographer.  

I think her goal was to make me cry..well, she succeeded.

I won't be back on here until the New Year so I wish you all the best 2012 has to offer.
