Could he be any cuter???

I finally have a quilt!!!! I am so thrilled with it
I have always wanted a nice quilt for my bed, but
since I have a king size bed they always cost a kings
fortune. But not this time. I found a beautiful one on
clearance!!!!! Now I will just have to keep my eye
out for new curtains...since the ones I have don't go
at all. Maybe I'll look for a soft green.

Ok so the urge to craft has gotten the better of me this week, and I think I have a yo-yo addiction. These little "jingle dolls" are going to be at each of the kids place settings for Christmas dinner.

Madelyn and Robby had a Christmas program at school.

Robby was a wise man and Maddie was a star.

Decorating Christmas cookies!!!!

The kids had a lot of fun drizzling icing all over! Some made

it on the cookies, but it was fun anyway.

Ok for all you crafty people out there. Here is a garland I have been making for the tree.
It was really fun to make, and pretty simple too. Oh and by the way we got another tree.
The kids kept asking when we were going to get a real tree....not real as in live, but real as in
bigger than the "thing" on the piano. So we borrowed a small tree, about 3 feet, but compared
to the "thing" it is a BIG tree.

I thought I'd post this picture to let you see a glimpse of our Robby's personality. If I remember I think I posted another picture of him where he had a similar pose. Robby is always happy and full of energy...Although not as much as he had before since we have eliminated sugar from his diet! Robby has such a tender heart and is so loving always wanting to be close and snuggled. He is a gift from God and such a blessing!

BIRTHDAY GIRL!!!!
How blessed we have
been the last 5 years!
Maddie has brought us
so much joy!

Madelyn turned 5 this Deccember! I can hardly believe that we have a 5 year old. We had a small family party at the house.

Ok Sonya, here is the tree I was telling you about. Oh and the snowman in the corner.
I was looking through a book I have on Christmas decorations and they had all these
really beautiful tree's and I really want a huge
beautiful tree. It showed how how to make all
these beautiful decorations for the tree....some day I will have a huge tree. For now I will dream.
Although I should make a few ornimants a year
that way when I have my tree, I will have enough to fill it.

Friends of ours hosted our music ministry Christmas party this year. They had a beautiful tree!
They said it was a "small" tree compared to years past, I guess all is relative. They had a few bins of kid-friendly decorations that they left for the kids to put on the tree. It kept Robby busy for almost an hour! I was also able to snap a good picture of the kids, but that will come later in a Christmas card.

Here is Jack, he is getting so big. Our sweet boy is working on a tooth, although nothing seen as of yet. but he is on a hunger strike and chewing on EVERYTHING, and man the drool is endless.
But he's so cute, we can deal with the saint bernard phase of life!
