Thirty Four...

This man is celebrating his birthday today! Well actually he's working and I am celebrating. He's not big on birthdays which I completely don't understand, but alas it makes it none the less special. He simply is the greatest man I know. My love has only grown for him these past 10 years and I thank God for crossing our paths all those years ago. He is the most wonderful father. You should see the way the kiddos look at him! They are in awe of his greatness really. I can not wait to celebrate many more birthdays by his side. He is my very favorite.

Oh Christmas Tree...

This year I gave the kiddos full rein over decorating for Christmas. I loved watching them work together and try to come up with the best ideas. They thought every detail through and I could not be any more proud. To be honest I think they did better than I ever could! My only additions were the tablecloth tree skirt, the wreath on the mantel and the scripture art that a good friend helped me with last year. Oh, and did you notice my new chairs came in? They are rather comfortable and have been used plenty already. Such a good buy!

*PS did you see I added shopping links to a few of my favorite things on the sidebar? This will be my version of a gift guide this year. Ha. One kings lane has been good to me this year. Can't share specifics since family does read this little ole blog of mine, but I did get some wonderful buys. As for the rest? Some I already own and highly recommend and the rest are on my very own wish list, especially the Sorel boots.

*PSS the most perfect stocking from yesterdays post is 40% off today with code HOLIDAY40!!! I so treated myself to one!

**PSSS today only one kings lane is giving a 20% off discount. Enter HOLIDAYCHEER at checkout. Good only today 12/10

Pretty Much Perfect

Have you ever seen a prettier stocking? For years now I have been looking for new stockings for the Mr and I and I think this one is pretty much perfect. Ok, maybe the price tag makes it a little unrealistic, but I sure do love her. I would have to deem her all mine.

*We are finally all back from the living dead. Yay! The flu is no joke and really put our little fam out of commission the last couple of weeks. I ended up having to pass on a few jobs that had yet to even start so I could finish the current the ones I have before the holidays. Now it's time for Christmas shopping, hot chocolate, and celebrating the best time of year... The birth of the risen One.
