My story

I found this on another blog and I thought I'd share it...be aware and smile!

Along time ago, like 40 some years ago, this angel was on my Mother and Father’s Christmas tree. It’s not an angel with a lot of flounce and bling but it brings back wonderful memories of past Christmas’s when I was a child. When my Mother was cleaning house and fixing to move out of our childhood home she had put this in the trash pile. I grabbed it. I’ve put it on my tree ever since. She’s seen better days but I like her and whenever I look at her I remember the wonderful Christmas’s we had as children. Michael now looks forward to finding her when it’s time to put her on the top of the tree. He’s still not quiet big enough to put her on the tree by himself but he looks forward to that day. I love that she was around when I was a child and now Michael looks forward to her being on the top of the tree too. I don’t think she will be replaced anytime soon. I asked Michael to take a photo for me this evening and he decided on the Angel at the top of the tree. A good choice I think.

Michael's school Christmas program was tonight. This year’s musical
was called "Christmas on Candy Cane Lane". All the children did a
great job and put on a wonderful show. It was special this year
because "Faraway" Grammy was able to attend and it was her
first time attending one of Michael's school programs.

I’ve always believed that Jesus is the reason for the season and I’ve
taught my son the same beliefs. He looks forward to putting the nativity
up every year. This year we bought a new nativity. I like having one the
children can play with and use their imagination. Our other one was tiny
so I wanted a bigger one, Michael chose this one and we love it.
I am sure it will be with us for a long long time. Michael took this
photo for me this evening.

Michael is pictured above with his Grandparents, I love it! So glad he has been able to spend time with Grandparents and get to know them. He is loved and it shows. I hope he looks back at these photos later in his life and realizes how lucky he is.
We all slept in late this morning and then went over to Fred’s parents house for breakfast. We had a good visit with them. Then we went to Sams club for some grocery’s and back home so Fred could watch the Dallas Cowboy game.

Grammy and Michael have been playing Monopoly most of the afternoon and evening. I’ve been laying in the bedroom listening to the laughter. I got Fred to go in there and take a photo of them playing and love how he caught them in mid-laugh. We’ve spent a quiet day at home today. Michael never got out of his pj’s, grandma made a good supper and I’ve watched movies and slept most of the day.

December 2nd digital scrapbook layout...

Not a way to start out the Month of December. Surgery for Plantar Fasciitis and Tarsal Tunnel Syndrome but it had to be done and the sooner the better. I saw my incision for the first time today and it was Nasty, ewww! A major inconvenience for all of us but I’m thankful Fred and my Mother are both here to help. I am not to put any weight on my right foot/ankle for two weeks makes it kind of hard to do much of anything around here. So glad Michael and I put the tree up before and we are pretty much ready for Christmas. I think from here on out this month will only get better, no doubt about it!
