Christmas with family

On Friday night we went to my Uncle Jim and Aunt Janet's house. This was the first time in probably 14 years we have celebrated the holidays together. We had so much fun. We did a white elephant gift exchange. Jimmy ended up with a plastic poncho, I had 2 Snoopy activity books and Alex ended up with the grand gift of a HUGE picture of my Grandmother and Old Dad. My sister got my a Tulsa area fireman calender which we got a great laugh out of. All in all it was a great time and I can't wait till next year!

My Own Personal Santa!

Jimmy played Santa at our elementary school the other day. He was a little smaller than your average Santa but he was very cute!

Family Outing

We are going to Branson for the day. We have never been to Silver Dollar City at christmas time. I hear the lights are beautiful. I will post pictures tomorrow.

Thanksgiving 2008

I know I didn't do this in order but I forgot all about my Thanksgiving pictures. I know no one reads this but it gives me something to do. First of all Alex helped my prepare the turkey. We took a recipe from Food Network. It was a delish turkey.

I love days off...

Well we have had two snow days this week and I have enjoyed every minute of it. I slept in till 8:00 this morning. And I had a nice cozy nap both days. I'm sure I can't be so lucky to have a third day off. I am pretty much finished with my Christmas shopping. I did most of it online. I have been so bored lately that I'm rereading the Twilight series. Hope everyone is doing well!

Hello again

This is my first post in a month. Life has been busy and I have been introduced to Facebook. But I am going to try and keep up with my blog. Probably not daily. An email I got from a friend reminded me I need to get on here. I have a big day ahead. We have the whole week off. When you live in a extremely small community full of hunters you get the whole Thanksgiving week off. One of the many perks of being in a small town. o we are headed to Tulsa today for a doctors appointment. And I'm sure we will hit a few thrift stores. Of course I have to find the perfect turkey for our thanksgiving dinner.
So much to do this morning so I better go.

I have been busy

I have not blogged in several days. We have been so busy around here. We had another member of our congregation pass away this week. It has been very sad and gloomy.
Today is a day off for me. Parent Teacher conferences...I love those. Today we are taking some kids to my parents house to rake leaves. They are earning money to go to the Burnt Cabin youth retreat in November. Alex is babysitting at the Siloam church tonight, they are going to a movie.
I can't think of anything else to say...except Have a wonderful weekend!
