Oh Christmas Tree

Decorating the tree in their bedroom

Chirstmas Joy

Well it's December and today is a windy, chilly day and already I can feel the hussle and bussle of the Christmas season. Determined not to get caught up in all of that and miss the JOY of the season I am trying to enjoy all those fun things about Christmas...baking cookies, eating cookies:), cold days, nights with hot chocolate, trees, lights, music and on that note if you need some Christmas Joy watch this video of Caleb singing at church on Sunday it will put you in the mood!

Now enjoy the simple pleasures of the wonderful season, and spend a little time with the kidos that make it so much fun

Sorry the Video was to big to upload, but I am going to see if Dan can make it smaller so I can share it with you...I hope so it is soo funny Caleb is just singing his heart out

Oh the days of Kindergarten

Friday was Caleb's K-5 Thanksgiving presentation, I did not know they were dressing up as Pilgrams a very cute surprise! Caleb's class recited Psalm 100 for their part in the Thanksgiving program

Make a joyful noise unto the Lord, all ye lands!

Serve the Lord with galdness;Come before His presence with singing.

Know ye that the Lord, He is God; It is He who has made us and not we ourselves; We are His people and the sheep of His pasture.

Enter into His gates with thanksgiving, and into His courts with praise. Be thankful unto Him and bless His name.

For the Lord is good;His mercy is everlasting, And His truth endures to all generations

Psalm 100

The program was followed with their Thanksgiving Feast and what a spread they had!

My contribution to the feast was turkey cookies, Caleb was so excited about these!

One of the things we are Thankful for this year is Caleb's school, we are thank God for providing this school for Him

When did it happen

Summer has been so long and dry this year, until last week I did not even think about Fall clothes or anything with sleves. But early last week as I looked out my kitchen window this is what I saw.

Over night it seemed the dogwood had turned from tired summer green to bright red, the sun filtering through looking more cool than the summer sun and in the back drop of the old barn it screamed Fall. Suddenly in an instant Fall was awoken in my soul!

When did that happen I thought,had Fall snuck up on me? This year I think it did I have been so busy with my schedule I had forgotten to look for the first signs of Fall. Birmingham is a beautiful city in the Fall with so many trees we get great color, and this year it is a real treat as I thought we wouldn't have any color because of the drought.

Silly Girl

This is kind of a goofie picture but, Ella walked into her room the other day with her stash of candy in her pocket. It just cracked me up, sometimes she can be such a silly girl

Baby Brunch

who does the cake maker, caterer call when the party is for Her? Her friend that was cut from the very same cloth (even though the cake had a "lean" to it). Saturday I had the pleasure to help with a baby shower for Jennifer Vines. We had a brunch to celebrate the coming of Baby Elijah, there was tons of food, gifts and fun times!We all know what a special person Jennifer is to each of us and I just hope she saw how much everyone cares for her. Congratulations Vines family...I can't wait to meet that baby.
