I'm listening to my playlist as I type this post. The song that's playing is Barry Manilow "I made it through the rain". I can't help but think of my parents. They moved last week, out of the house I grew up in. It was tough, not something that my mom really wanted to do. But they made it through, and I really do admire the courage and strength they have. They sacrificed a lot for our family and I am grateful for the life they gave us. The part of the move that really got to me was on moving day seeing my parents neighbors, parents of my friends that I grew up with. I really love those people, they are all very special to me. Love you Mom and Dad, I hope that you can find joy in your new home.
I started putting up my Christmas decorations this week. It took me 3 days to finish with the inside of the house. The lights on the outside are still not finished, but they are going to be awesome! I am really starting to enjoy this Christmas season. Last year I got rid of decorations that I didn't love anymore, so it was fun to pull out the bins and see the decorations I love.
This nativity was my birthday present from Darren last year. I love it!
My shopping is almost done, hopefully I will finish it up today. Christmas cards are next, then its time to think about cheeseballs!
P.S. Happy Birthday Jared!

Your house looks amazing! I'm not surprised.
Mmmmm, cheeseballs, yummy.
We are just starting on our decorating...I'm finding it hard to get into the spirit this year. Listening to Christmas music helps a little, but I think we need snow!!
I love your forest...so festive!
sometime during this year, i fell in love with cheeseballs. now i think i could eat a whole ball every day. :) i love christmas decorations! and the music! oh my!
Thanks again for all of your help with our move! We worked really hard on Saturday and got alot of organizing done. It wore us out completely. We were so sad to miss the girls dance recital, but we could hardly move or even think straight. For example, we asked Jared to come over and help move the filing cabnets. He took one look at where we were going to put them and asked, "Are you sure you want to do that? You can put them there, but you won't be able to get into the room if you do." I'm glad he was there to help wake us up!
Your house looks like Christmas. I haven't even started thinking about Christmas decorations yet, but I need to get started.
We love you and Darren and your cute little girls. They are growing up so quickly.
Your house looks great! I love your nativity (think I told you that last year), it's one of my favorites. My Christmas tree is standing in my front room and that's all it's doing. Maybe if I get a wild hair and feel mostly decent, I'll put some lights on it tomorrow. We'll see what happens. I have a great idea, you can come to my house and help me out. Sounds like the best idea to me!!! :) Love you!
Can we get a copy of your Christmas music on a CD? It sounds like you have some good songs!
I love the idea of your story tree you'll have to share different stories you picked and the ornament that went along with it I need ideas Have a great Christmas
