Christmas Stuff

We decorated the Christmas tree (and I haven't taken a finished pic yet, I  know, I know) on Monday night.  Tonight we finally got the outside stuff up.  The girls got really excited about it!  Now, maybe the inside will get done soon.....

A Busy Sunday.... THE ROCKETTES!!!





Sunday we met Mom, and got the girls.  She took them shopping for new dresses to wear to the Rockettes Sunday night.  IT WAS AMAIZING!  The girls had a fit when the toy soldiers came out.  They danced to the song that M & M danced to in their dance recital.  They also did some of the same things...mmmmm, I wonder where Mrs. Laurel got that????  We all loved every minute of it....even Buddy.  It was such a great show.  Thanks Linda and Tookie for the early Christmas present.  We enjoyed it so much!

Handmade Christmas Stuff....


OK, so I have seen all kinds of Christmas trees decorated all different ways to go on the mantle.  I refused to pay $25 each for them, because I wanted 3!  So, we bought some brown paper/cardboard trees at Hobby Lobby, glitter, trim, ribbon, and flower pots (that we spray painted black, and turned upside down), and made our own.  I thought they turned out cute.  Buddy really liked them.  It cost a lot less than $25 each, wink wink.  Tomorrow we go meet to get the girls.  Maybe we can finished decorating the tree, and putting up the rest of the decorations.  Sunday is THE ROCKETTES!!!!  We sooooo can't wait!

Trip To The Cemetery...

Buddy and I went by the cemetery to check on Granny's grave on the way back home Thanksgiving.  I had a complete melt down, because she had nothing on there.  Well of course we couldn't have that!  After I collected myself, we went and got her some Christmas flowers.  Granny's favorite, red and cream poinsettias, berries, and red bird ribbon.  I took them home and made her arrangement.  We went back this morning and fixed it.  It looked so pretty.  I know she would love it, AND the first in her area to have Christmas flowers.  It makes me feel better any way.  She always went above and beyond to make sure I was taken care of, so I am going to do a better job on the flowers for her.  She's still my ANGEL!

Thanksgiving @ Paw Paw's 2009



Buddy and I went to Paw Paw's for Thanksgiving this year.  Meagan and Madelyn decided they wanted to go to GA to spend the holidays with Grandma and Grandpa.  We were so tired from the basement clean out, and the house being so destroyed, we didn't feel like traveling.  Plus, we would have to pack up the dogs and their stuff...like having 4 more children, lol.  So, we met Dad at the state line on Tues., and dropped them off.  We really missed them, but we did enjoy getting to spend time with Paw Paw, Tookie, Linda, and Debbie.  It was a nice change of routine.  Thanks for having us!  We really enjoyed it!!!

Happy Birthday Buddy!!!

Yesterday was Buddy's birthday.  It was pretty uneventful (thank goodness).  The girls made him lots of cards, and put a candy bucket together.  They put so much thought into it.  They love and adore him so much.  And of course I am so lucky to have him!  We went and ate @ Outback last night.  It was really yummy.  M & M were pure entertainment.  We had such a good time.  We walked through Costco, and finished wth night with the only thing better than bday cake.....hot KRISPY KREME!!!  So delicious!!! 

Lunch with Tookie, Linda, and Paw Paw


Sunday, we ate lunch with Tookie, Linda, and Paw Paw.   There was a special treat in store for the girls.  I couldn't stand it.  I knew what was coming, and am probably MORE excited than they are.  Tookie and Linda got us all tickets to go see the Rockettes for an early Christmas present.  M & M's mouth dropped open.  They couldn't believe it.  Meagans says, "Mom, these tickets are impossible to get!"..... not when you have Aunts with determination.  Maddie was so excited that she had little words, which as you know, is rare for Maddie.  We can't wait to go.  Even Buddy says he thinks he will like it ;-)

Paw Paw and The Girls!
