A Getting Ready Weekend

On Friday we got our tree!! That train from the Thanksgiving post was put around our tree as soon as it was up :) April and Chloe took turns playing engineer, while I got out the ornaments.

Our finished tree!! Every. Single. Ornament. We. Own. is on the tree....and Chloe would like to add more :) It's a joy to decorate with them - such excitement and fun over every detail :)

Saturday was a Christmas Tea for me, an afternoon of shopping with just parents (The girls spent the day with Mawna and Pap!!), a dinner date, and then we met up with our children and my parents at church for the Gingerbread House Party.

More Bloopers

These pictures just make me laugh ~ especially the last two. I have a feeling that Aunt Laura, in particular, will think those last two are funny also. :)

I've come up with an example from my own life to talk about and I thought I'd let my blog readers in on what I'm going to share tomorrow. Enjoy! I met Mrs. Hohman on a hot July afternoon after mistakenly knocking on her neighbor’s door. I stood on her front porch with my mom, nervously waiting to meet the woman I planned on living with for my first year at Grove City . I felt like I was towering over her short frame as she showed me the 3 rd floor and barked the rules of “no swearing, no smoking, no boys”. I handed over my rent check and moved to her house in late August. September came and a fellow freshman had a mental breakdown and her bed was now available to me…… So, after 3 weeks of living with Mrs. Hohman I moved out....
