He's in Love With the Boys!!

For Christmas my husband, along with his brothers, got tickets to the last game in Texas Stadium before it is torn down. Lynn is the biggest fan you will ever meet, I'm talking, my house looks like it barfed a cowboy. Everything he owns is blue and white including a lot of things in our home.

Lynn left for the game last night and our house is quiet. I'm so excited he got to go do that, but we are missing him. I hope he has a great time!

Santa Claus is comin' to town!

Each night when we get home from school and work we go to our advent calender and Nathan gets to eat a piece of chocolate. It has been a great way for him to see that there are still a few days until Christmas. For us it has been a break from hearing "is it tomorrow yet" which means is it Christmas.

We have had a nice time preparing for the holidays, but I wish it would snow. Some of the things we plan on doing for the holidays:
1. drive around and look at lights

2. go sledding

3. go ice skating (that one may hurt)

4. watch the old fashioned kids Christmas movies

5. get hot cocoa and deliver goodies to the neighbors

6. sing Christmas songs as much as we can

7. go shopping

8. eat lots of good food

I hope everyone has been enjoying the holidays and has a lovely Christmas!

Thankful!!

Just like others I grew up singing "Count Your Many Blessings", and I really thought I was a thankful person. How hard is it really? I'm thankful for my husband and family, our health, our home and food, but lately I have started to really see all the many blessings I really have. I have been able to see that even in the hardest times there were huge blessings. So for all the many wonderful things I have I am thankful, and for the blessings that I haven't yet realized I am very thankful!!
