LET THE FUN BEGIN!!


What can I say...This is an extremely busy time of the year for me! There is always something going on, somewhere I have to be, and something that I need to be doing, but don't have the time!

This past weekend, Robby and I went to Oklahoma City to do some Christmas shopping. We got quite a bit done. I had two favorite parts of the weekend. The first was eating at Mama Roja's Mexican Kitchen on Lake Hefner. This has got to be the best Mexican food I have ever eaten by far!! It was pretty cheap, too! Five of us ate for $60! If you are ever in OKC, I would certainly suggest this restaurant!

My second favorite part of the weekend was going to North Pole City!! The only word I can come up with to describe this place is "Christmas Wonderland" and that is pretty much what it is. There is every kind of decoration you can imagine...and then some! It almost puts you into sensory overload...you have the smells, lights, and more lights, and all the textures. You just want to touch EVERYTHING! They even had a real Santa walking around! It was AWESOME! This is another one of my OKC musts!

That was the excitement from this past weekend. Of course I loved having quality alone time with my hubby...he really just spoils me (you should see what all I bought at North Pole City for me!) I am planning on getting him something he is truly not expecting for Christmas!

This Wednesday, we have the Thanksgiving dinner at church, Sunday we are having Thanksgiving dinner with my Mom and that side of the family. Wednesday is cleaning and rearranging the living room to put up the Christmas Tree :) Thursday is good ole Turkey Day!! Friday is putting up Christmas Decorations...The next weekend I'm back to OKC with the girls for Beth Moore Conference, the next weekend I am taking my girls and Bailey Faith to see The Nutcracker in Amarillo(this is her Birthday present from us since her birthday is Dec. 26) And then it is the busy week right before school is out for the Christmas Holiday! I can't wait! and Sometime in the midst of all this, I need to go back out of town to finish my Christmas shopping! Oh, well. I love this time of year, and how busy it is!!

Have a great day!!

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!

Well, Halloween is over. The only thing I really like about Halloween is the candy...not one of my favorite holidays. Here is a picture of my Go-G0 Girl and Rose Fairy, and also one of Haley, Auzlyn, Aubrey...and Cody. Now, LET THE REAL HOLIDAY SEASON BEGIN!!

I love Thanksgiving, and Christmas is my down right favorite!!! My Christmas shopping has already begun! I would put my tree up now (but Robby won't let me). I do have Christmas decorations up year round! I even invested in a display case to house all of my Department 56 North Pole Series Houses. They are just awesome!!

What I really enjoy about the Christmas season, is getting to spend time with my family and celebrating Jesus birth. I have so much fun finding neat little crafts for my Sunday School Kids to do, and they always look forward to Christmas because they just never know what I might come up with!!

REMEMBER there are just 52 more shopping days left!!!
