The Polar Express

Yep.....you guessed it.......this week we went on the Polar Express train ride!!!  Yeah us & my parents.  No kids in tow....just 4 CRAZY adults acting silly.   I would highly suggest that ANYONE with kids take this train ride. 

Polar Express Ride

Yes that's the parents.......to bad I couldn't get my moms face....cuz she almost at the point of jumping up & down like the 4 & 5 year old kids were.

Here is the inside of our car.  We got on the train & off we went to the North Pole.  On the way there we read "The Polar Express" book & had

The North Pole was full of lights & all kinds of wonders!! 

And guess who got on the train with us

Yeppers good ole St. Nick himself!!!!!!!  And as you can see Mom was very excited that she got her book signed & even got a special treat (a bell...but shhhhhh I didn't tell you that secret!!!!).

Christmas Decorations

I had a little helper today while I worked on some Christmas decorations.....

We spray painted letters (probably should have put them in the order of the word for you...sorry!!!)

Decorated the Christmas trees outside.  Here is to hoping that my little helper doesn't decide to undecorate the trees for me.

Then we moved inside.........and I might not have a fireplace but I do have alittle ledge over my bar that I decorated.......lights, greenery, ornaments....I think it turned out pretty good if I must say so myself.

And to finish it all off......I had lots of

When the decorating was done for the day!!!!!!

Work

This is so how my desk looked this afternoon by 2:30.  I did really good all morning & kept the flow of paperwork under control.......after lunch it totally looked like someone had puked paperwork all over it.  Do you think tomorrow is going to be any better??????

The FIRST Saturday of December

And what has it brought........well this morning while I was in Asheville there was BEAUTIFUL SNOW falling!!!  I got home to see NOTHING!!!!   I LOVE the south!!!!! 

I've got some styrofoam Christmas trees I'm gonna make this afternoon....hopefully while watching Texas win their ball game.  I'll post those later.  Oh and I have to finish the outside decorations....helps that it is like 35 degrees outside....gets me in the decorating mode!!!!

Thanksgiving 2009

I've got so much to be thankful for this Thanksgiving. My health, my friends, my wonderful husband who as you can tell from the pictures hates it when I take his pictures. But I'm still very thankful for him. I'm thankful for my faith & that I know without a shadow of a doubt that I will be able to see my Lord & Savior one day. And what a wonderful day it will be.

I'm thankful that we were blessed this year with food on our table. And a wonderful deep fried turkey, mashed taters, sweet taters, and many more casseroles. Pumpkin pie & yummy deserts.

On a side note....today I started decorating for Christmas (just one more thing to be thankful for!!!!) Wait til you see my porch & the wonderful bowes that I made all by myself.

It's exercise time

So I've come to the conclusion that I HAVE to ride my stationary bike atleast 30 minutes every day......and do you want to see who follows me into the room and sits with me!!!

Litterly he is at my feet all the time. I wonder if they would let me take him to work with me......good public relations ummmmm?
