be good for goodness sake!

First of all I want to thank my cousin Liz for letting me take these off her blog! I didnt ask but I am sure she wont mind! First things first.... Like every year, we gather together on Christmas Eve either at Auntie Jo's or mama Baird's house. This year we ended up getting together at the Cleggs home and had some delicious food and way too many giggles! As the night was winding down Maddie was startled by some very loud bells and a ho, ho. ho'ing from outside the window. Mitch and I were not able to see how cute she was as we were out in the front yard looking for "santa" and we completely missed him and his loud bells and her reaction (darn it)...... Its amazing how easy you forget how fun Christmas Eve ad Christmas can be with little cuties batooties around.

Maddie looking for Santa outside!
As soon as Santa had left, Maddie ran down the hall... jumped into her jammies and got into bed and was out! So dang cute!
What a lovely Christmas Eve it was!

Its been an interesting one!


So I borrowed these from google because I didnt actually catch our thief in action. Last week I was getting ready for the day when I headed out to run some errands when I noticed something was really wrong. My glove box, middle console, and just about anything else you could open and destroy had been opened and cut up with a knife. I hurry and unlocked my car and noticed that we had a unwelcome visitor during the night. This brilliant being decided to take a knife to the side of my door and open panels that I didnt even know existed! Needless to say I kind of wish I could have caught this piece of work and just given him the GPS that he so desperately was after. After quite some time at the police department right down the street I found out that this fella had been busy. Felt kind of like a kick to the gut and then I felt sorry for the guy.

Speaking of kick to the gut, maybe it was just the back pain that I have recently had. I finally broke down and went to a Dr. and if any of you know me well, you know I only go to the Dr if I have walked on a broken foot for 2 weeks and cant take it anymore and that is about the only time I will go! Apparently I have a disk in my back that is acting up and that might be what is causing my numb thigh.
GUESS WHAT!!!!!!

Nobody on our street has put up their Christmas lights yet! I almost feel guilty turning ours on!



I am grateful for New tires today!


During our famous "blizzard" I realized how rediculous my front tires were! In a panicked effort to just get home, I stopped at the store and bought 14 bags of water softener salt to weigh the car down. The gal who was one of the only checkers ended up blacking out at the register, we waited with her while the ambulance came to pick her up.

Although it has been a long, stressful week.... I am still so grateful that it is Christmas time. I think I will turn on some Christmas music, light a fire in the fireplace and snuggle with Mitch and Hunter tonight.
