~♥ HAVE A VERRIE MERRIE *CHRIST*MAS! ♥~

 whadda great helper I have!  after our Thanksgiving meal & clean-up I have Owen help decorate the tree... I love looking at it later knowing his sweet lil' hands placed the ornaments in their special spots!

such concentration on this tree decorating task!  =)

even Otis is helping!  =)

i hope everyone is getting everything all done for the holidays!   it is almost time for santas' arrival!  have some baking done...need to do more, made my Christmas cards & they have been mailed. most of the gifts are wrapped. still have to clean, finish up a few things & we have snack*ie type foods for our Christmas {on Christmas eve} vegie pizza, cheez & crackers & taco dip & spinach dip in bread & chips & crackers & all kinds of cookies & candies & on & on...  yum*yum!  we are so blessed to have soo much to be thank*ful for!

remember that it is okay not to have everything 'perfect' ~ that things may not all get done ~ are we ever all done?

the reason for the season is *JESUS* our loving saviour & almighty GOD! 

that is our joy! 

~♥ wishing all of you the merriest *CHRIST*mas!♥~
