I love Christmas

 
I love the whole season. The spirit of the season. The reason for the season.

And I love the Christmas tree. It kind of drives the truth that Christmas is on its way for me. We've adopted a new tradition this year. The reason of the season is to celebrate the birth of Christ. He relieved three gifts on that blessed day. And so our family members shall receive no more than three gifts each (Jed and I are usually good for gift each, one gift together, or a few small gifts to each other. We are on an awfully tight budget this year so I am financially loving this new tradition as well as loving the spirit that has been in our home since) but if Santa manages to sneak in a gift or two... So be it :)

Since I know she won't see it and no really cares as much as I do, I have to share what Blaikley is getting this year! I'm proud to have done so well despite the tight budget.

Santa has already brought one gift.... Clearance pink camo sweats and jacket we found at Cabelas in Fort Worth, TX (we were there for Jed's job, I drove all the way there in a separate vehicle than Jed and then we drove back together. Longest week ever). And Santa will also be dropping off a cute barn with a fence, animals and a farmer. the whole thing makes noise (not sure how awesome that it, but its her o e toy this year and its gonna be fun!) We got that with a Smith's and Edward's gift card I won during the Golden Spike Rodeo. Don't worry, it didn't cost the whole amount in the card, not even close :-).

Blaikley will also be getting a new blanket from me. I bought material this summer and never did anything with it, so now I will be making her a new blanky! It's gonna be adorable!

Next she will receiving a cute new outfit. I don't know where from though...... ShopKo or Old Navy most likely.

And finally she'll get new pajamas! Logan has an outlet for Lazy One PJ's, the fancy brand you see in Jackson Hole or somewhere like that and cost $40+, but kids pjs are only $5 at the outlet! I'm so excited for that!

 

Santa's penmanship is so neat :-)

Merry Christmas everyone!

Old Boots

There's just something about old, worn down boots that does my heart good

Yay! We have Internet again.......

Which means I'll start blogging again! It really has been way too long and a lot has happened I need/want to share but I will have to wait another day or two. Hope everyone is doing well!
