I’ve been terribly busy and not getting much accomplished – at least that’s what it feels like! However, we did get a new tree. We’ve done artificial since our Seminary years – don’t really need to anymore, but it saves us the cost of a tree! We set it up on Thursday and Friday night DH and the boys put on all our decorations. Some of our favorites are:
- The first ornament Dh and I bought together
- All the ornaments the boys have made
- All the ornaments commemorating the boys births or adoptions
- The half oyster shell with an angel painted in it – to remind of us of our years on the coast.
- The globe that a Pastor’s Wife gave me to thank me for my ministry that she said “reached all over the World”.
- The Fish that I got from another PW.
- The Flying Pig – it makes me smile everytime I see it.
- The old, ugly plastic ornaments that were my Grandma & Grandpa’s – they have a piece that twirl when placed over a light. They might be ugly but I love them all the same!
Oh, I know there are more, but I can’t think of them. We don’t have a fancy tree – but we have a great memory tree! All our ornaments have a special memory or a special person we received them from!
But, of course, anytime we go down memory lane, I’m a mess. So I helped very little and cried very much! Oh well…it gave the boys a chance to practice their skills of mercy and love.
I finished the Christmas knitting I was doing – and now I’m trying to talk myself out of taking on more! lol I want to post pics of what I knit – but I think the giftees read my blog – so I’ll post them later! I’m soooooo proud of it though! Just you wait until you see how I stretched myself! I never thought I could really do it – and I did it!! 🙂
Well, Dh is at Christmas practice and the boys are too quiet, I’d better get off here and go see what’s up!
