Daily December #7

You thought you were going to be fortunate enough for me to forget to do this today didn't you? We got home late tonight after making the rounds. Grandma Irene's surgeon promised she'd be home for her birthday, and she was so we dropped by to wish her Happy Birthday and then went out to tell his Dad goodbye for now! He'll be back in a few weeks for Christmas.  

We had some great laughs tonight and the kids were hysterical! 

Apparently my poor pregnant sister in law fell down the stairs on her deck today! I am sure she'll love me telling the world that but I'm trying to get everyone to wish Baby Ovie some love after its morning trauma.

This is what we came home to tonight:

Most of our neighbors are pretty great about decorating for Christmas and no one is really over the top so it is such a pretty site... Josh is not a huge fan of the white lights so, the color is all him!  I told him our new house is going to be white light all over the place. I do really like the blue/purple color on these LED lights though.  And our power bill was quite a bit less last December when we first used them!

Does he have the munchies?




He is as photogenic as his father. Seventy five percent of all photos taken of them both look like they enjoy the herb a little too often :)

Are you completely bored yet?  Well, today wasn't much of anything.  Left the house at zero dark thirty this morning to go to a meeting in Moses Lake.  Blech!!  So this is a picture of my long drive necessity sitting on a very dirty county car!  Fun Fun Fun!  Actually, I rode up with a fun group so that made the drive tolerable.  Oh Yeah, Did I mention I was the one who had to drive that crappy, dangerous road?  

Josh's grandma had her second mastectomy today.  Wishing you a speedy recovery Grandma Prock!  We love you!

No idea where I made the crazy face that it happened to freeze there.  Not at the beginning nor the end but oh well!

Daily December #4

The beginning of our Nativity for the year.  I haven't found the Creche yet but it will turn up.  Josh bought be the first piece about 3 years ago.  Notice my pregnant Mary! Growing up, we could never put baby Jesus in the Nativity until Christmas Day. My Willow Tree Nativity set (which I adore) comes with a Mary holding the baby Jesus.  That absolutely will not due so she is hiding behind a basket on the entertainment center.  This Mary is another Willow Tree statue. (This is actually the second one of these I have.  When I was pregnant with Boone, my mom bought one for me and painted her hair yellow.)  The Three Kings are still in their box as well.  They don't arrive until January 6th, bearing gifts of course.  Anyway, just wanted to share one of my newest favorite Christmas accessories.
