Merry Christmas!!

I love Christmas!! I was once again very blessed by all the gift I recieved from friends and family.


Lexi and I just after we finished opening presents before we started making the traditional sausage breakfast.

My Mom put together an amazing book full of family history. I'm so excited to read and get to know all of my ancestors.

This is a saddle bag (candle pouch) it is all leather. and it has my name engraved on it. My name is even spelled correctly, I was way excited, although I went through much frustration of getting the layers and layer of duck tape off. It was all worth it in the end.

This was Moms gift from santa. it is a quilt rack, so she can finally display some of the things she has made over the years

As you can now see, I was richly blessed and these are only but a few. I am so thankful for my amazing friends and family.

Christmas Time

I love Christmas Time. I wish I could capture a little bit of the spirit of christmas in a jar and open it every month of the year. although its seems almost unreal that it is that time of year again, I have tried to take part in the yearly traditions. I enjoyed helping mom make candy, and working on home made christmas gifts, (although I always come away realizing that things aren't as easy as they look in the store, and that I'm not near as crafty as I thought I was.) Oh well. I have also enjoyed reading christmas stories, making amazing carmal apples dipped in milk choc. and drizzled with white choc. with Lex, staying up late or getting up early and reading by the christmas tree, spending the weekend with family, gone caroling, and best of all taken a few minutes to reflect on my many blessings.
