Christmas presents


These pictures of N and B were taken last Christmas.

This Christmas we have my beautiful stepdaughter, M, here for our celebrations! As the children have gotten older, their presents have gotten WAY more expensive aand with less quantity. Gone are the days of what seemed like 100 little Hot Wheels that had to be wrapped individually! Now, they primarily want one big expensive gift. Have you all noticed the same with your older children?


N just wants cash for his concerts, clothes, and hanging out with friends. M wants a digital camera and gift card or cash, and B wants an iTouch. Our tree's gonna be bare underneath! I'm glad they are getting older for many reasons, but this one's kinda sad. However, most of my shopping's already complete, which is necessary for my ankle surgery next week :0) (shopping-NOT surgery smiley).

Daybook


Please visit Miss Peggy at www.thesimplewomansdaybook.blogspot.com for more Daybooks!

Outside my window...barren trees mostly with a few smatterings of yellow and brown leaves dangling from the limbs. The weather is warm for November-60's with clouds and gray sky.

I am thinking...Oh me oh my, how fast is Christmas approaching and I haven't even begun to shop!!

I am thankful for...getting to and from my in-laws home safely.

I am wearing...green long sleeved t-shirt with snowflakes on it and black pants.

I am remembering...decorating in my childhood home for Christmas.

I am going...to be home today cleaning, decorating, and laundry from our trip.

I am reading..."A Quilter's Holiday" by Jennifer Chiaverini and new Southern Living magazine.

I am hoping...that my Grandmothers will not be too disappointed that I will not be with them on Christmas day.

On my mind...my surgery is looming in 11 days and I don't want it!

Noticing that...I do not feel any older, but do not like the numbers rising.

From the kitchen...breakfast was strawberry smoothies; lunch is cheese and crackers for me and wraps and apple for boys; dinner will be oven fried chicken with biscuits and artichockes; dessert will be peanut butter cookies.

Around the house...decorating for Christmas.

One of my favorite things...outdoor light displays.

From my picture journal...this is a light display at Kentucky Horse Park's Southern Lights. Sorry it's a bit blurry, but we couldn't stop :(. It is of antebellum ladies and gentlemen dancing.

I am thinking...that I can't believe how old I'm getting! I am my Mom's age when she had me.

I am thankful for...my husband's plentiful vacation time allowing us to be visiting family for Thanksgiving.

I am wearing...purple long sleeved t-shirt; purple, black, and pink patchwork skirt; black knee high boots.

I am remembering...many a birthday's on Thanksgiving.

I am going...to my in-laws today and we will have a few jaunts throughout the week such as the Rock 'n Roll Hall of Fame.

I am reading..."The Yankee Way to Simplify your Life" by Jay Heinrichs and several magazines.

I am hoping...we arrive to the in-laws as well as back home again safely.

On my mind...I love my family.

Noticing that...Autumn leaves has disappeared.

From the kitchen...breakfast is the buffet at hotel; lunch is wraps or pbj sandwiches; dinner will be with family.

Around the house...nothing!!!

One of my favorite things...Amazon's $5 magazines for I have plentiful of reading material for our trip.

From my picture journal...last Thanksgiving was my birthday and this Friday will be this year's birthday.
