3 more things to cross off my to do list.... YAH!


I am feeling really good! I think this is the earliest that I have ever gotten my Christmas cards done. They are ready to pop in the mail tomorrow. We always do a little collage of photo's with a theme and it usually takes me a long time to remember how to use the Photoshop Elements program to get it done, but this year I remembered the program and I got it done in a week instead of 2. How was that for a long sentence?? I am not a writer, I hated English class! Last years snow globe Christmas card took forever.

And John got the train set done last night. This is definitely the earliest that has gotten done! It looks great. He decided not to do an "I spy" this year, but do a "find what's wrong with this picture" theme. He has a bunch of things wrong, like a lamp post coming out of the sky, and cars going the wrong way and the best thing is that he made a volcano in the middle of a neighborhood. He put's dry ice in it and it looks totally real... very cool. We had our first little train party tonight and had the Jarman's (John's boss) over for dinner. The twins absolutely love it! They ask John all year whenever they see him, if the train is up yet. They were pretty cute. Here are couple of pictures of it...see the KFC bucket rolling down the street??





We also got our Christmas lights up. John taught Mitchell how to do it this year, so hopefully he can do it next year all by himself. So, I am getting closer to being ready for Christmas! I have a lot of shopping to do, but that is fun! Off to the mall!

Way to go! Every lit bit you get done and can mark off, helps the overwhelmed feeling of this beautiful season. Keep up the good work! :)
