The Night Before Christmas

Twas the night before Christmas and all through the house, not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse….

What? No mice? Oh, I mean Sadie!

The stockings were hung by the chim……well, we don’t have a chimney, nor a mantle, or stockings for that matter. How about three Santa hats on candlesticks?

My baby was nestled all snug in her bed, while visions of banana puffs danced through her head.

With Brad in his fire helmet, and I in my ball cap….are running around packing for a trip to Childress in the morning! There is no resting for us! What were you thinking! When out on the lawn there arose such a noise, I realize real quick it was just neighbor boys. Oh yeah, you see, Santa isn’t coming to our house this year…..Santa would be residing in Childress and dressed in a Childress Football tee……Go by his house and I’m sure he’ll say Ho, Ho, Ho!

But no need to fear, Santa has already stopped by the house to leave Emma her first note!

From My Family To Yours:

Merry Christmas To All And To All A Goodnight!

The First of Many 'Lil Blogs!

I LOVE Christmas! It just seems to me that this time of year is when families gather together and are the closest. With many changes in my family's future, I have taken a step back this weekend and remembered. Remembered how much I enjoyed late movie nights, card games, sleep overs, red velvet cakes, and my family. I grew sad quickly, remembering the loved ones I have lost, but, just as quickly as it had set in, it was gone. I get to create the same lasting memories from my childhood for my own little girl. So tonight, as I was downloading the last little bit of photos from my camera, I came across this video of my daughter and nephew. Their innocence, sweet smiles, intoxicating laughter, and out-of-this-world dance moves are what I have to look forward to. I hope I never forget this feeling I have in my heart this Christmas of making my little girl's dreams and memories come true! Enjoy their video!
