Pre-Christmas Party 2013

-

On December 23rd,
we had a PRE-Christmas Party
The little guys are finally old enough
to play some of the games that I used
when I was teaching school. 
Putting "clings" up on fireplace
screens and windows
was a favorite activity.
Busy, busy little boys.
"I'm decorating Nana"
We read the story of Jesus
birth, and they arranged a nativity
scene on the coffee table.
Please note Aaron's shirt on
the red chair.  He spent
most of the day in his t-shirt.
Freezing temperatures
don't deter him from being
comfortable.  
Their idea of a Christmas photo.  
Decorating Christmas cupcakes
was a highlight of the party.
They did a good job, but sprinkles
were EVERYWHERE including
in their mouths.
Again, notice Aaron's fashion statement.
The off-the-shoulder
look is alive and well.
Their finished projects.
Cannot get them to
all smile at the same time.
We watched a Christmas video.
They were entranced with Frosty the Snowman.
Kelly and I found these precious Fisher Price
reindeer at a thrift story and they
became a Find the Reindeer Game.
Our final game of the day
we do not have pictures for because
everyone was too busy running
around hiding.
HIDE AND SEEK
 is the all time favorite
game to play at
Nana and Ducca's house
no matter what the holiday.
It always produces gales of
laughter!  

CHILDREN--
the very best part of Christmas!

What fun! Kelly can attest that you never outgrow eating sprinkles - particularly the red ones! I think that was our main goal in making Christmas cookies every year. :-)

Love Present from a Friend

One of my favorite things in the whole wide world is to receive a Love Present . The definition of a Love Present is a gift that someone gives you for no special occasion, but just because. My sweet friend, Claudia, came by the other day with the cutest dishes. She had found them at an antiques store and she said they just looked like me. Don't they make a beautiful display in my kitchen bookshelves? Thank you, Claudia, for the dishes, but most of all for the thought behind the Love Present .

Skippyjon Jones and Kohl's

I'm not sure if I should thank my friend Mindy for letting me know that Kohl's is featuring Skippyjon Jones items in their stores, or whether I should send her the bill for the items I purchased. I actually restrained myself (although all items purchased are not displayed in the picture.) There are many more Skippy Jon Jones items at your local Kohl's. Let me just give Kohl's  and their Kohl's Cares program a shout out. I am so impressed with their commitment to local charities benefitting children. All the items above were $5.00 each with the total proceeds going to charity. "Kohl's Cares thanks you for over a decade of dedication and hundreds of millions of dollars raised.  100% of the net profit from the sale of this item will be donated to support kids' health and education initiatives in communities nationwide. Since 2000, more than $180 million has been raised through our Kohl's Cares cause merchandize program." For more information, vi...

Bluebonnets

Texas Bluebonnets and Spring are synonymous! What a beautiful display of God's beauty! My friend, Lea, gave me a beautiful silver bluebonnet charm created by James Avery . You can see it by clicking the link above. I love wearing it because it reminds me of my roots. I still remember the Bluebonnet Song that I learned in elementary school. Bluebonnets, Bluebonnets, With your coats so blue Your bright eyes are shining In the morning dew. They say you're a dolly Offered for the rain And Texas wears blue Bluebonnets in the Spring. Anyone else sing that song as a child?
