CHRISTMAS MORNING

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BRANDON

Christmas eve...

MAN I LOVE MY DEWITT FAMILY!!!!

Corrine and Fred are always so generous, doing things for others, watching kids, church work, grand kid slumber parties for days, crafts, reading to them...and the list goes on and on! Last year for Christmas we ended up getting Fred a TON of crossword puzzles, more than he can ever do. Corrine got lots of earrings...So this year the entire family of 8 (plus spouses) decided we were going to go in on something worth while this year....So we all put in enough money to carpet their entire house!

Well the reaction from Corrine was just what I was hoping for! Fred even teared up which in return I think rest of us might have just a little! It was PERFECT, we even had Tim in the back ground playing the blues on the harmonica! *CLASSIC

*A HUMONGOUS THANK YOU TO TK STRATTON at Stratton Superior Builders and GARY at Flooring America for making it possible for us to do this! Truly we couldn't have pulled it off with out their help! So Thank you!!!!*GOOD NIGHT!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MARA
I am so grateful for all of us sisters to live in the same area
where the cousins can enjoy getting together for the holidays especially!

OH CHRISTMAS TREE

Lets back track just a month, Christmas is a good one to start on....

We got ourselves a real tree just like every other year but this year we got it from costco. Best thing we ever did! It was the cheapest tree and the PRETTIEST tree we have ever had!
I love having a helpful husband and watch my son want to help out think he is so big!

Tustin was daddies lil helper!

The tree was a bit bigger then we anticipated but it was so pretty and so fresh
in fact it was so fresh we had friends coming out of it....

MY FAVORITE CHRISTMAS TREE
a great way to start the holidays

Smells like Christmas
I am a lucky and fortunate girl to have a home and family to share the holidays with

*Paris was all excited to get a tree and hang the ornaments but as you can tell by there being no pictures of her she was MIA for most of it, playing with her friends!

*real mistletoe to boot! thanks Rochelle

a better me

I have been MIA for quite some time now...but now that I have committed to a new years wellness challenge that consist of a form of journal keeping daily (blogging counts) I foresee a lot more blogs happening (steadily for the next 3 months any how)
BRING ON 2011!HAPPY NEW YEAR
