Let the Unwrapping Begin
Our Christmases begin tonight.
And every night is full until New Year's Eve.
We're popular people.
Except on New Year's Eve apparently.
No one wants to party with us.
Boo.
The little boys are bouncing off the walls this morning.
Christmas is just too exciting.
But they sure are cute.
Ezzie has been busy making gifts.
And wrapping them.
He uses about twice as much paper as he needs.
Which is just fine.
We have 30,000 rolls of Christmas wrapping paper.
I seem to have turned into my grandma.
And now some pics.
That have absolutely nothing to do with this post.
And are nearly a month old.
Before we know it, we will be taking the tree down.
And packing up all the decorations.
I'm going to try to soak up every moment.

Fingerprint Friday
Well, I popped over to Beki's blog before posting this.
And wouldn't you know it.
She has verses from the same passage.
Pretty cool how God can lay the same scripture
on the hearts of different people.
These verses are from Mary's prayer.
Before Jesus was born.
I made a little gift for my Bible study gals.
With these verses.
(I was finally a tiny bit crafty.
But then forgot to take pictures of the final product.)
You know what I just realized as I'm typing this?
I put the wrong reference.
Argghhhh!
It should be Luke 1:49-50.
Oh my goodness.
So irritated with myself right now.
Wondering where exactly my brain was.
How did I get both the chapter and the verses wrong?
Hmmm.
Now you all know I'm not perfect.
Ha!
Hoping I take time
during this last busy week
before Christmas,
to stop and remember what great things
the MIGHTY ONE has done for me.
Each week Beki at therustedchain hosts Fingerprint Friday and uses a song by Steven Curtis Chapman as a springboard. Join in. It's a great way to be reminded of God's presence.

On Christmas Music
And poo.
And Christmas past.
On Christmas music:
I like Justin Bieber's Christmas song.
Under the Mistletoe.
I also suddenly like Last Christmas.
Wham's version.
I've never liked that song.
Something odd is happening to me.
On poo:
Jobie while sitting on the commode the other day:
Mommy, I bet Everett is pooping right now too.
(Everett is a friend of his from church)
Who thinks things like that?
Pretty sure I've never had that thought.
Although...
one of my friends and I
would weigh ourselves before and after
we did our business.
Is that too much information?
On Christmas past:
Our first Christmas at this house.
We just wanted one picture.
Without Jobe sucking his thumb...
or crying...
or sucking his thumb...
or crying...
I remember at the time getting so frustrated with him.
Now these pictures make me laugh.
Funny how in the moment I can get so irritated.
Seems stupid now.
But then, so does my poo story.
I was 10.
And 10 year olds are weird.
And immature.
I am nothing like that now.

The Halls Are Decked
A little taste of Christmas at our house.
Our real tree.
Bought it at the grocery store.
It's one of the prettiest trees we've ever had.
The reason we celebrate.
Amazed at the love of God.
To send His only Son.
To be the Savior of the world.
To be my Savior.
We have lots of Christmas books.
And music.
Pandora.
itunes.
CD's.
Radio.
You name it.
I listen to it.
Christmas pictures for the fridge.
Jobe's.
Ezra's.
Ornament from Germany.
(Someday I'm going to commit myself to getting a new camera.
And becoming a better photographer.
Someday.)
Entzville.
Are you bored yet?
Just a bit more.
The mantle.
I love the little tin.
A birthday present from a dear friend.
Thanks, Danielle!
(And Amy for giving her the idea.
And another Amy for making it.)
Our white tree.
There's lots more.
But I'll spare you the rest.
We bought a cheap 6 foot tree for the basement.
And some purple and gold ornaments.
(The colors of the college Ryan works for.)
Brookie and Jakie stayed up until 1:00AM or so.
Setting it up and decorating it.
They maybe can get along sometimes.
There's hope!
Ha!
Ok.
I gotta go.
I really shouldn't be blogging even.
But I miss everyone.
Haven't even been reading blogs lately.
I don't know how I can be so busy.
It's ridiculous really.
I'm going now to clean the little boys' room.
Blah.
It's...there's really no word for how bad it is.
But we're having a party here Sunday evening.
50-60 people.
Good motivation to get some cleaning done.
Go me!
(Sometimes you have to be your own cheerleader.)
