Deck the Halls!

I like my post title just because my ex-sister in law and her family's last name was Hall and it was a joke at christmas who is going to deck the Halls! But ant ways... We got all the lights up... YAY it only to 2 days and a lot of F bombs! But it was fun! Tom did most of the lights but I did the porch. I was so happy this year we got some of the big old lights handed down form a Grandma. We have tried for years to get some... I could go buy some but I am a cheep a#%! So I just wait and see what people give me! (hehehe) That is how I got the lighted trees and deer!
My mom got me a projector that I put on the side of the house that had no lights it looks really good! I would put up pictures but my camera sucks and you cant see Santa and Rudolf! I am going to have to get a Santa to sit on my porch with my moose/reindeer I cant decide what he is... what do you think??



I still need some lights around the front window but half of our lights did not work I think that is where all of the F bomb came from! And the non working brand new extension cords! Dam Dollar Store! But we have the best lights on the block!





And I bought this peace sign last year after Christmas never opened the box I thought it was a small sign but it was not! It looks good at night but during the day not so much!





And the inside of the House has come together too!






Now we are just waiting for............



Well maybe not all for us but Laurie and Jordie Bug are!

Getting back in the Christmas spirit!

I am so excited my hubby is going to Finley put up the Christmas lights! YAY! I have all new stuff this year some reindeer light up stick trees and a projector for the north side of my house! And I bought some big light up signs to put up too! I will post pictures up ASAP! I am looking forward to a nice STRESS FREE weekend! This week has been HELL! With bratty kids who don't want to follow the rules on the bus (my bratty a%# kids!) to tryouts, Dr. appointments 2 trips to p-hole 2 days in a row. A dreaded trip to Walmart Hell! The egg donor of my step daughters (I got egg Donner from Melissa careful wisher) I love that it sounds so much better than crack wh*&%! And worrying about my little Lauren! So I am going just relax this weekend! Cheer tryouts are over and Riley made it again! I am so proud of her! Christmas is almost here and I cant wait I thought I had all of my shopping done but I was wrong I for got Trent! I guess that is what happens when you are in a sea of girls!

You Are Blitzen

Always in good spirits, you're the reindeer who loves to party down with Santa. Why You're Naughty: You're always blitzed on Christmas Eve, while flying! Why You're Nice: You mix up a mean eggnog martini.

Which of Santa's Reindeer Are You?

Thank you for your prayers.......

Thank You all for keeping little Josey & her family in your prayers. This has been a very confusing situation. I am having a little bit of a hard time dealing with this and how to help my little one who just does not understand where Josey is. Wednesday day night I found out that Josey's funeral was going to be on Thursday But at the time I did not know she was Laurens friend. Thursday morning I was curling Laurens hair I asked her did you know Josey? She told me yes she is my friend...everyone keeps saying she died but I don't now where she is she has not been at school. This just broke my hart. So I sat down and picked her up and held her I told her that Jesus took Josey to live with him because she was burned in a fire and how she is going to be able to watch all of the Christmas lights from heaven. But Lauren just hugged my neck and did not say anything. So I sent her to school with a little bag of change for a jar they have in the office for a change drive for Joseys family. I came home and it was just bothering me I knew Lauren was really sad. So after lunch I went down and picked her up and brought her home. We just played games and baked some chickens (she loves to help cook) she said I put the pennies in the jar and I saw a picture of Josey on the side of the jar, she said and my friend Kimberly is going to the funeral, I did not know what to say I know that she is to young to go to a funeral so I just said O that is so nice. She told me she wanted to talk to her grandma about it so we called her and she told me not to worry kids are resilient. Grandma talked with Lauren for a while and now she seems to be doing better. Thank god for grandmas! The community really came together for Josey and her family we all were asked to wear pink yesterday (Lauren told me Josey's favorite color is pink and purple). Every where I went yesterday everyone I saw had on pink:) And I was told at her funeral someone read some things Josey wrote in class and one of them was she liked to play with Lauren it was so sweet. I hope the rest of the holidays can be tragedy free and all of you and your familys are well.

Turkey day thew today

OK I got the pictures back from my mom of Thanksgiving it was a little crazy but all and all it was a wonderful Thanksgiving. To start out Wednesday night Tom marinated the turkey and put him in the ice chest out in the carport. About 2 am Tom heard something making noise outside he came out the back door and found a dog eating out turkey! So that was not good:( But no fear that morning we went on a turkey hunt! I sent my mom & my mother-in-law also on the hunt! I was not to sure I would find a thawed turkey that was the right weight, but to my surprise I found one a Bashas. He was a free range born in California 14lb with a hefty price tag an him! $30.00 WTH! The turkey the dog ate was free!



But its ok he was really really good!



We ate and ate.............



We put up our tree and the kids decorated it they did a great job!



Shelby and Riley had to pose for a shot!



Almost done!



Yay Finley done!

So we have had a busy past few weeks! I hope all is well with you and your family. Today please keep a little girls family from our town in your prayers, Lauren's little friend died from burns she received in a house fire. She was only in 1st grade.
