Christmas

Christmas has always been my favorite time of the year. Even better than my birthday- even as a kid. I mean, whose family comes from all over the city and state just to wish you a happy birthday, unless of course, you're the oldest person they know and they like that they are related to you! In my experience, when you have a birthday, you were lucky if you got your birthday dinner that day and not three months later! LOL
Anyway, I digress and have lost my train of thought and so, must begin again!
Christmas is my fav- yeah, whatever! I'm excited because it seems like Dustin might have already gotten me some presents. And maybe some of the things I asked for, too. Smart man!
But really, I'm looking forward to seeing the family at Aunt Rhonda's house. It's the one time a year that the family will most likely be together in it's entirety.
I have always loved that part the most. The presents were nice, but I just loved the feeling of being surrounded by people who cared so much about each other. It was wonderful. I hated when it was over!
Now that I'm older, I anticipate other things, but that's still my favorite thing about Christmas.
Now I have my daughter to immerse in the love of a large and diverse family group. And she likes presents!

Holiday Banquet

So the Fellowship FWBC Annual Holiday Ladies' Banquet is finally over. And it was wonderful and beautiful. Everyone's table was gorgeous. My favorite, well, besides mine, of course, was Beverly's table with her pretty blue dishes. And of course, I once again forgot my camera at home. I'll have to get aunt Kathy to email me some of her pictures.
I'm glad Chelsea could make it and loved having Cynthia at my table. And I thought the program was fun and neat and Hannah was the cutest part of it.
I'm already looking forward to next year!

December First

Dec. 1st is the day that I decorate for Christmas. So Faith and I did the tree yesterday. I got colored lights this year and had to put the blinkers on them. She loved it, but go upset everytime I had to unplug the to insert a blinker. She had fun. She got really excited when we showed Dustin, screaming and laughing. Dustin's face just lit up and they were so cute together.
My favorite Christmas ever already!
