SANTA and his helpers

Not to long ago in a little place called the woods, there was a home and inside this home sat two puppies and much to the excitement of these two puppies come a visitor, but not one but two visitors. Santa you see had checked his list twice and seen that Adam, Sandi, Reese, and Roscoe had been very good this year and sent his helpers to come and pay them a special visit. These helpers left many gifts in the house of Adam and Sandi.

For you see there were bows everywhere!

Bows upon trees.

Bows you could only see from your knees.

Santa must have thought we were so good this year that no matter what room we walked into he wanted us to know that his helpers had been there.

In the garage......

(Santa did not leave that note, it was a surprise from Adam one night :) )

In the living room

Also in the kitchen......

In our bedroom......

Santa's helpers even put bows in our bathroom, there was not a space at our place that was left bowless.....

Roscoe was even such a good boy that Santa's helpers left bows for him....



Bows, Bows, what was I going to do with so many bows??

Then and idea came to me. I would pay it forward. I would use the bows and make sure that Santa's helpers knew how much I appreciated them.





(if you look really close, buried deep inside all those bows are presents. Not one bow was wasted!)

Merry Christmas!

Thankgiving Blessings

This is my post Thanksgiving entry. The days are getting colder and the nights are getting longer and Christmas is going in full swing at my house. But I wanted to take a couple of minutes to write about what I am thankful for this year.

1. I am thankful for working for my dad. Therefore I can take the Wednesday off before Thanksgiving and have a nice 5 day weekend.

2. I am thankful for the bountiful meals that we ate.

3. I am thankful for the good cooks that make those bountiful meals.

4. I am thankful that both of my desserts looked and tasted beautifully.

5. I am thankful for this lady. She is my grandma and I think a lot of her. She is a very Godly woman and lives each day working for him.

6. I am thankful for the Thanksgiving Day parade. I love a parade.

7. I am thankful for my church and all the opportunities that it has given me.

8. I am thankful for the sound of laughter that comes from my family.

9. I am thankful for the way boys can be mischievous and still be so darn cute! (this is a bag that they found to slide down the stairs in, did I stop them? Nope! but I took a picture)

10. I am thankful for those experiences that you share with one or two other people that you can still laugh about.

11. I am thankful for this guy and the dog he is holding and the fact that he can be in public holding the fluff and not be a bit embarrassed by it :)

12. I am thankful for my book club and the books that I have read because of them that I probably wouldn't have read on my own.

13. Last but not least I am thankful for this chica for she lost a whole night of sleep to go Black Friday shopping with me and then went to work the next day. I on the other hand came back home and slept which brings me back to number one on my thankful list.

There are many, many, many more items that I am thankful for. If your picture did not make the list this year, then next year you know to be better to me. Happy Thanksgiving
