Dear Santa

All year long, she has been asking and dreaming of having a real puppy. This little girl has a facination with animals, espically dogs. She wants to be a veterinarian when she grows up. For a 3 yr old thats a pretty big deal if you ask me. When we went to the Tree Farm to see santa, she patiently waited her turn. Then she asked the big guy, or I should say told the big guy that she wanted a real puppy for christmas. What is a parent to do? She is such a sweet little girl and is always on her best behavior. Her daddy kept saying "its a no pet christmas". Then yesterday, he told me him and santa had made a deal. Because of the storm that is blanketing Minnesota right now he couldnt wait until christmas eve to pick her up, so he went today!!!! He told santa that we would keep her warm until christmas morning so he can put her under the tree in her home made doggie house that will someday be used as a toybox. Santa and hubby are the best!!! She is a sweet baby girl. An English Springer Spaniel, 8 weeks old. Right now as i look over at hubby she is on his shoulder sleeping. Christmas morning pics are gonna be priceless!!!!!

Oh My Heavens!!!!!

I had a chance to participate in My So Called Junk's Life Shabby Pink Christmas Swap and boy am I happy that I did! Just lookie at what a received in the mail today from Betty over at Sammygirlblog.blogspot.com!I am still just shocked and amazed at what she made me. This is a photo of my Emma that has been on the bottom of my blog for the longest time. I never thought in a million years that I would ever get anything like this! I will treasure it forever and ever. It is my new favorite ornament!!! Betty, you really outdid yourself and I have to say again, THANK YOU FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART!!!!!! This is the back of the ornament . The detail in these just amazes me. There so beautiful. I could stare at them for hours!

falalala la la laaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

Oh christmas tree oh christmas tree............you know the rest. Ahhhhhh it is DONE! Decorated with all of my favorite ornaments and treasures. It is a wonderful tree,smells fab,looks fab, and is just amazing to me. I got the tree decorating bug from my gramma, ya know that certain "look" about it. It just comes out of me, her i mean. Weather its sewing or crafting, but most of all she shines through me at christmas time. I miss her so so much. When i was a little girl on christmas eve she would come over and she insisted on sleepin on the couch. I think it was because she wanted to fall asleep lookin at the tree. Maybe she had a chit chat with santa too. Who knows. But each year I feel her more and more at christmas time, each time i look at our tree. It helps me.And this little christmas angel, well my gramma shines through her too. She has her grammas middle name, she looks like her, she acts like her, and my gramma would have spoiled her rotten if she were still here. Since she is not here any longer, her daddy and i will gladly do it for her.

Emma really got into decorating the tree this year. Every ornament she put on the tree she would respond with "perfect"! She enjoyed every minute of it.

Look at that satisfied look on her face! She is just my perfect little angel and i love her so much it makes my heart ache!

She will keep these certain traditions in her heart always. I just know that she will. Every year i will look forward to decorating the tree with my daughter and i will be more than happy to watch her grow with these traditions and know that she will someday pass them off to her own children.

Merry Christmas to All! We wish you health , happiness, and good fortune forever and always!

Oh Christmas Treee

Today we headed out to Jans Tree Farm to chop down our tree for this year. Each and every year it gets better and better!!!!! There are so many trees to choose from. This year it didnt take us that long to find the perfect tree. Drew and Nick were ahead of us scoping out the pickens.Emma thought that this was a great tree. Just her size but this little tree needs to grow alot more before it can be cut down. It is a cute little tree.We FOUND IT!!!!! Look at this beauty of a tree! PERFECT!!!! Full, strong,smells great!!!!! It now sits in our living room smelling wonderful,drinking water and the top literally hits the ceiling! I LOVE IT!!!!! Emma was the supervisor watching daddy and making sure he did a good job. She is a great helper!

We are all very happy with our tree and our time at the tree farm. Gramma went with us and took the kids back to her house for the night for cookie baking and fun. Now the hubby and I are gonna go water the tree and spend some time together without the kiddos!!!!! This means that I get to sleep in tomorrow! YAY!!!!!
