It's Going to be a White Christmas!!!

[DianaB]

We are getting snow for Christmas!! It's so beautiful outside now that it's changing to snow instead of sleet. I feel so bad for people who are traveling because we've heard that it's really slick outside. I really wish that it would have come on another day when I wasn't so busy and could enjoy it more!! You all know how I love the snow!!!

Christmas is coming along......Jaci has most of my gifts wrapped so I only need to take care of her gifts. I had a big box of gifts from Kohl's that I was really happy to get and some other stuff that came in the mail! So all of my gifts came in....right in time!!!

The cookies and candy is made.....unless I make ONE more thing.....we'll see!!! We just need to get them on the trays I bought so they can be delivered. Bread is in the bread machine and I'll get it made into crescent rolls soon. Everything's coming along.

Jaci's been cleaning all week but in the morning we'll have to go through and touch up......I don't know why things don't seem to stay clean here!!! Oh well, everyone will chip in and it will get done or we'll just not worry about it!!

Hopefully the storm won't make us lose electricity but if you don't hear from me for a few days you'll know what it was!!! We're expecting 4 to 7 inches!! You know that my family will be out playing in it and I have the hot cocoa ready for them when they do!!!

Glen, Jaci, and Nate are all going to Glen's Aunt's tonight. I think that I'm going to stay home and rest or get some last minute things done. I'm really looking forward to watching some Christmas movies and snuggling down while it snows outside!!! What more could a girl ask for!!!

I hope each and everyone of you have a wonderful Christmas!!! Remember that the reason is to celebrate the birth of our Saviour, Jesus Christ. He's the best gift of all!!! Enjoy your time with your family and friends but remember that there's a little old chubby woman in Kansas that loves you!!!! Hugs!!!!

Merry Christmas everyone.... We too have had snow for about 5 days, it really looks lovely, unless you have to go out to work or shop etc, then it is not so nice!!!

I have just sat down myself after a hectic day, i have mentioned that i have 12 people coming for Christmas dinner tomorrow, i am reasonable organised though, so am quite pleased with myself.

Today i cleaned the house, put the presents around the tree, set up the table, shopped a little, wrapped the last of the presents, took shopping to my Aunt & Uncle, called on in-laws, cooked my beef, turkey will be done tomorrow, peeled potatoes, carrots and turnips, made cauliflower cheese, stuffing, changed my bed linen, and baked some mince pies.

Phewwwwwwwww - i did have help with some things though.

So now i have a glass of wine, and am having some rest time, then will go to bed, ready for another hectic but hopefully lovely day....

Merry Christmas everyone.

WHEW! Diane, you made me tired!! It sounds like you really ARE ready for TWELVE (oh my!) tomorrow! Have a wonderful time!

Diana - I know you are thrilled with the SNOW! It will delay our trip to Oklahoma, but that is OK, we were not going till Saturday and now it will probably be Sunday or Monday and that is OK! I'm glad you are getting your white Christmas!

It's 4:45 AM here and I can't sleep. Ricky just got up too...lol. I thought for sure we'd sleep a bit later this morning. It's been pouring down rain. We had snow on the ground and some ice. The yard looked like a white skating rink, but it's melted quite a bit from the overnight rain. I'm happy you have your White Christmas Diana...you have fun


I hope everyone can rest, relax and enjoy the time with your families. Merry Christmas...I love you all very much.

Merry Christmas everyone! We had a late night at my brother's last night, and the girls were so excited for Santa to come. Shaun had to go outside to sprinkle reindeer food on the lawn and sparkles so Santa could find the house. They wrote a letter for Santa to leave with his milk and cookies, and they told him they love him very much, and if it wasn't too much to ask, if he could give them hugs in their sleep So after they were sleeping I wrote the reply from Santa, thanking them very much for the reindeer food since they had all worked up an appetite

Layla has opened her gifts here and we'll be heading to my brother's shortly to open the hundreds of gifts there!

Everyone have a safe and happy Christmas! I'm so glad you got snow Diana, it really makes the day, doesn't it?

JOYEUX NOEL!

We woke up this morning to snow everywhere!!! I'm not sure how much we got because the wind has been blowing and the snow has been drifting really bad. It's been pretty exciting for the kids since they haven't seen drifts this large for quite awhile!!

This evening now that things are slowing back down it's starting to snow again.....not much but just enought that it looks really pretty to look out the windows.

Everyone was so busy with having Christmas and going to other places that they really didn't have time to play in the snow but I'm guessing that tomorrow they'll all be back with their sleds!!! It's been a good Christmas!!!
