Skating/Christmas


Happy day before Thanksgiving! As promised here is the first picture of Marie skating. She did in fact leave the wall and had a good time. We had to pretty much bribe her to leave because she did not want to. I know she will want to go back again soon. She is already talking about having her birthday party at the skate rink. How many months away is that seven?!

Well we are getting ready for the big day tomorrow. We are having ham and the fixings in a very laid back setting. We plan to clean the house tonight or during the day tomorrow and then pull out all the Christmas decorations and get ready for the next holiday.

I have such wonderful news for everyone! I have finished my Christmas shopping except for Marie! There are still some things that I have to make, but the purchasing part is finished. I cannot tell everyone how excited I am about this. It has been such a jungle in the stores the past few days that I cannot even imagine what it is going to be like closer to Christmas. I think I am going to get whatever we want for Marie online this year!

Well I need to get to cleaning this messy house so I can start getting in the Christmas spirit tomorrow. Plus I have a toll house pie to bake for JJ. Happy Thanksgiving to everyone!

Charis liked seeing the pictures of Marie! Sounds like you guys are having fun down there. I read your post about suggestions for your next Bible study, and though I don't have a particular title in mind (I just finished the Purpose-Driven Life for the FOURTH time with our THIRD church...and I believe you've already done that!), I would highly recommend any study by Beth Moore. I have only seen her on a videotape in a series for women, but everyone I know who has done a Beth Moore study has absolutely loved it. I want to do one myself sometime...perhaps the new year will be a good time to start!
