Christmas Comes Today!!!!

Santa delivered this morning! Much to our surprise the Grady Bunch kids had a load of wood delivered so old Gramps and Grandma won't freeze this winter! Children should bring you warmth and comfort in your old age and ours are doing just that! We love you! THANKS! (now if those Christmas elves would just stack it............)

Santa Baby

The Curran Girls went to see the man yesterday. We got our candy canes and put in our Christmas wishes.

Is it just me...or is Santa kinda elf sized this year?

Santa's Little Helpers

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas....

Because of the economy...(are you getting sick of this phrase?) we are having a great time trying to see how frugal we can be this Christmas season. I usually buy a Costco wreath for my door but this year decided to go without. Much to my surprise my sister-in-law brought me a gift--a beautiful, handmade wreath! She collects the greens, arranges them artistically and then adds a pretty bow! WOW! I love it! THANKS, JoAnne.




A few years ago I planted some trees in the garden to grow specifically to use for the family Christmas tree. Well, they aren't quite big enough but we decided because of the economy we would dig it up and use it as a living Christmas tree. That way we can replant it after the holidays and use it again next year! Because of the economy we are really becoming green.

Freaky Santa

Because of the economy (this is our fallback excuse for everything now) we have decided to limit our outside Christmas decorations to our one lone inflatable Santa. The grandkids refer to him as "freaky Santa" because of his spooky looking eyes. I'm not sure who should get the "freaky" description when I look at these pictures.
