The Christmas Season Begins

Good Morning to you.

Happy Sunday and December 1st!!!

Yesterday Heath carried, from the basement, all of our a Christmas decor boxes.  (That is a lot!!) We accomplished much, but I'm not nearly finished, and the tree isn't decorated.  It probably will take a solid week or so to get things how I like.  I "collect" Christmas decor, so my boxes grow every year. :)

This morning, hot homemade cinnamon rolls are warming in the oven as I type this with my coffee in hand.  I made them as "fuel" to our Christmas decorating weekend yesterday, and they were a huge hit!  The little ones were gobbling them up from our hands as the cinnamon and icing ran down their faces, and chins...clothes. :)


Here is some of my cozy Christmas decor I awoke to this morning on shelves in my kitchen.  I just love the warmth it creates in our home!





Some of my favorite ornaments never make it to the tree, but are sprinkled around the house ....

We had a AMAZING Thanksgiving, and I hope you did, too!  I praise Jesus for Heath having time off this year, since we didn't get to go home last.  Sorry to run, but I need to get ready for church, although first let me show you a pic of mom's delectable lemon cake with sugared fruit. This cake is a Thanksgiving tradition for us, but this year the sugared fruit she made sent it over the top!  I have got to try this.

Beautiful, Mom!!!

Finally, a family photo on Thanksgiving....
Have a blessed day as we begin to focus on Christ's birth in this special time of year!
