Christams Card Pictures

Oh the fun and stress that comes with Christmas Card Pictures.
First deciding do we want it Nice and Fancy, or Casual and Relaxed?
Do we have it in Color, or Black and White?
What to wear, matching or christmasy?
Finally ya get to a point where you must make decissions cause the
mailing deadline is aproaching and everyone is tired of all the photo sessions.
These out takes make me smile. Hope it puts a smile on your face too!





The end results didn't turn out too bad.

"Older" Self Propelled Snow Blower

This is the man-powered Snow Blower.
Today we woke up to a bit of snow.
The weather was at a high of 25 (not to bad)
and the winds were gone.
Glad to have a good husband who was Jonny on the Spot
at clearing our drive way and side walk.
xoxo Love ya.

Jingle Bells

About a week ago, I get a call from my friend Brooke. "Hey, did you get my email?"

Me, "No, why"

B: " I signed us up to ring the bells for Salvation Army next Saturday."

Me: silence...thinking is she serious? Its cold outside. Surely she is joking.

B: "It will be fun. We'll get hot cocoa and take the girls."

Later that day I get an email from the Salvation Army thanking us for our volunteering.

Obviously this wasn't a joke, and our Saturday morning was set.

Brooke said we should ring them where all our friend can see us, so where else but Walmart.

We bundled up in layers, hats, gloves and scarves. Brooke held up to her end of the deal and as promised the 2 hours of ringing the bells was a fun way to spend our Saturday morning.

Kennedy, Lauryn, and Kate sang some great songs, and the girls even showed off their

robot dancing moves.

I think if not for these girls we wouldn't have gotten much money.

I think we have just found our new Christmas tradition.

Now...I wonder how long before I get paid???
