Merry Christmas!!

Merry Christmas from our family to yours!! 🎄 I am running on fumes. LOL! I think I got maybe two hours of sleep before I heard the not so littles talking downstairs while I am sure browsing through their stockings. We enjoyed some family time opening presents and talking about our new projector and screen that we now have to replace our outdated TV. Afterwards, we hopped on Autcraft to get our presents and advent gifts. By 3pm I was almost falling out of my chair. So I did something that is rare - I took a two hour nap! 😁 My hubby made homemade meatloaf for Christmas dinner and it wa delicious. Tomorrow we celebrate our daughter.

Late Christmas get-together

This afternoon we got together with my hubby's side of the family for a little late Christmas shindig. His brother and his wife came into town from San Antonio. Their kids didn't make it in with their families. 🎄 Some tasty food from Spring Creek BBQ and some sides. I always loved their rolls. Thanks so much for all the presents!!! 🎁 It was great getting together and seeing everyone!! Maybe it won't be so long next time. 😙 We will see I suppose. Sometimes it is so hard getting together, especially when everyone has their own families now. All the nieces are married, and most have kiddos.

 

This is my husband's amazing mother (Mom II is what I call her), with her kiddos - my husband (left) with his twin sister Nat, and baby sis and bro, Darla and Ronnie. They are twins, too! Yes, two sets of twins. LOL! I must have missed pictures, and yes, I 'jacked' this photo. 😂

 

 

Merry Christmas!!!

As the day starts to fade, I hope each and every one of you had a very special, blessed day!! We celebrated a bit later than our usual norm around here, but we enjoyed a special day at our house. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all our family & friends! 🎄 Here's a few fam pics and one I just had to share, which I didn't show off because it was before Christmas when I received it, and the first ornament on our tree. My niece painted this ornament for me with my favorite mob on MINECRAFT. So cute!!! Plus, my sweet daughter was creating with AI and this pic was imagined. Wow! I absolutely love it!! My favorite time of year, my favorite flower, and my favorite cat. 😁 What a shame my cat is not this sweet. 😂 I did not get my Christmas cards mailed out this year, but there is always next year! LOL! It's still a tradition of mine and I love sending out cards.

P.S. - Yes, I collage everything. Phototastic Collage is awesome! LOL!

 

 

Christmas traditions

It's that time of year!!! Kicking back with my amazing daughter and watching these two Christmas classics!!!

Autcraft - Christmas Village

Every year AF adds to the Christmas Village and has a new advent calendar. We get goodies through the month of December and then on Christmas day, we get the Autcraft Christmas sword and a present from under the tree. It's quite fun and a great event for those that don't have plans that day, especially for those with special needs who cannot handle all of the craziness.

My Christmas Baby

Nineteen years ago I was at the hospital that afternoon on Christmas Day, only to be sent home in the wee hours of the morning, and return to the hospital less than five hours later. LOL! 😊 

Today, I wish my little girl, who is not so little anymore, a very Happy Birthday! She was diagnosed with Autism before she turned three years old, and has made so much progress and accomplished so much that the doctors never dreamed she could. 

🎅 My Christmas Baby!! 🎄

Merry Christmas

I woke up this morning and made some coffee and cooked breakfast. Then we celebrated with gifts. Hope you all are having a wonderful and blessed holiday weekend! 🎄🎅

Time to decorate!

Finally got the tree decorated! LOL! It only took a week. We turned on some classic Christmas tunes, booted up the Arendelle Castle Yule Log on Netflix, and had some family fun! 😊

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!!
