Philippians 4:8-9

whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things. 9Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me—put it into practice. And the God of peace will be with you.

Christmas "Kick off"

This weekend kicked off our "Christmas season".
First we had our annual Decorating Party at my mom and dads house:)



Every year, we decorate to my favorite Christmas Album... Amy Grant!!!!!!,
Dad and Christian pick out the tree.
Alicia and I bake something yummy:)!!!


Trav and I plan the games and we top it all off
with a White Elephant gift exchange and a little game of Farkle!!

Then on Saturday it was off to my work Christmas Party!!


My boss always cooks these AMAZING dinners for us! This year it was short ribs, green beans with hazelnuts, homemade lemon meringue pie, and a chocolate torte!
Food was wonderful, as usual, and its always fun to hang out outside of the office:)


My co-workers have become my "extended family" after 12 years of working together, that's only natural!!



This was a very busy weekend! But an amazing one for sure! I was able to take my mind off of "things" and just relax and celebrate with those that I love so much!
Oh yeah...plus I colored my hair!!!

Thanks for your enthusiasm for the tree decorating. I have been enjoying my decorated house so much since then! Every day just seeing the tree and all the lights and all reminds me that I have a family who will be here with us for Christmas. Thank you for being the "spark" to light up our family Christmas. I love you, Carey, my joy. MOM
