Merry Christmas to All

Hi Everyone,

 My husband and I will be living for our candlelight service at church here shortly and I wanted to take the time to wish all of you a very Merry Christmas.  I have enjoyed all the different crafts, pictures, teas and all the other activities that all of you share on your blogs this Christmas.  Everything is so beautiful and inspiring. I love Christmas and its true meaning.  Tonight we will be singing praises to the Lord for the most precious gift ever given, our Savior and Lord Jesus Christ.  May He bless you and yours as we remember His birth.  God Bless You All.

With love and hugs this Christmas time,
Janet

It is Snowing

Hello from Western Pennsylvania,

Yes it is snowing outside, not a lot yet.  It would be nice to have a white Christmas though.  I have to tell  you a story, it is funny.  My daughter and her family live in Nipomo, California.  This morning when they got up, it was very cold outside.  The girls (my granddaughters) said to their mom that it snowed overnight because they saw the frost on the ground.  Their mom had to explain that it was only frost.  That is how cold it got there.  Our littlest granddaughter I don't think she remembers snow.  She was only 9 months old when they moved to California and the oldest granddaughter was only about 3 years old.

Tiffany says that the kids in California often wish for snow.  Sometimes different businesses will have snow trucked in so that the kids can play in the snow.  Here in PA we don't have to have it trucked in, it comes every year.

Well I thought I would share that little story with all of you.  Have a super day and a Merry Christmas too.

Hugs,
Janet

Christmas Sleighs

Hi Everyone,

Just checking in with a video of some Christmas Sleighs that I have altered.  One I call my Santa Claus Sleigh Pin Cushion and the other is Shabby Chic Christmas Sleigh pin cushion.  Enjoy the video and let me know what you think.

Decorating for Christmas

Hi Everyone,

Just a quick note for now.  I have posted some pictures of our Christmas decorations and family decorating our tree in the great room.  They are not in any order but I hope you enjoy them any way.

Your comments are appreciated.

Love and Hugs,

Jim's Birthday

Hi Everyone,

Today we are celebrating my husband's 72nd birthday.  He is a wonderful guy and the best husband and father in the world.  I am truly blessed.

Yesterday was a big day with Jimmy and Brittany.  We all went shopping together and then to dinner at the Olive Garden.  We all love that restaurant, the food is delicious.

Today after church Jimmy and Brittany are coming over for dinner, birthday cake and then we are all going to decorate the big tree in our great room.  I will take pictures and post them soon.

I have enjoyed seeing everyone's decorations here on the blog.  They are all so beautiful.  Thanks for sharing.

Well I am going to close.  We will be leaving for church here pretty soon.

Love and Hugs,
Janet

Shopping Day

Hi Everyone,

Every year in December our family goes shopping together.  We have so much fun.  There are several stops we make such as Walmart, Dellalo's, the mall and its many stores, Barnes and Noble and then to top it all off Olive Garden for supper.  This year we will be celebrating my husbands birthday.  Tomorrow is his birthday, but we thought we'd start to celebrate it today.  We still have a few things to get for Christmas.

I hope all of you have a great day, a great month.  Spend lots of time with family and friends.  Remember though, who's birthday we are celebrating this month, Jesus Christ.

Talk to you all later.

Love and Hugs,
Janet
