It's Beginning To Look A Lot Like Christmas

Greetings!

Hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving. Ours was good. The house seemed so full. My once small family is starting to become quite large.

We took a lot of pictures...We even got our family picture taken for my Christmas card this year. My neighbor and friend came over and took it. You can't see it here on the blog...you'll have to wait until you get your Christmas card.

Okay...now let me share the pictures with you.

Here I am with Miss Hayden and Santa also known as Joshua. He was a good sport and played the roll of Santa so his little girl could get her first picture with Santa. He also did this the year Colton was born.

Then here's Santa with Tammy's family...

Tammy, Colton (with Santa AKA Josh) and Kyle

Colton was real excited when he saw Santa come into the house but after about a minute he was a little unsure about this guy called Santa that he wouldn't come and sit on his lap and this was about as good as it got. Still a good memory.

Jennifer and Paul with Santa.

Joshua and his family

Jessy, Hayden and Joshua

Hayden's first visit with Santa

And here's Colton dressed in his Santa suit...it was really hard keeping a hat on him...he said he didn't like it.

I'm starting to get into the holiday mood...it's been awhile since I've felt that way. I'm even decorating this year. Josh and his friend came over and put the lights on the house. Tomorrow I will decorate the porch and put my yard stuff out...that part I'll do....I know just how everything is suppose to go.

Hope your enjoying getting into the holiday spirit but don't forget the real meaning of this holiday season as we celebrate the birth of Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ!

Until next time.

Love...Robin

Happy Thanksgiving

Just wanted to wish each and everyone of you a very Happy Thanksgiving.

Tonight I started preparing for the holiday dinner tomorrow. Everyone will come to my house around 5 after they have done their other visiting. I have forgotten what it's like to fix a big meal...it's been a few years. I did a few things tonight so I wouldn't have to do it tomorrow.

Tammy is bringing our traditional Holiday Dip that we always have during the holidays. Jennifer is bringing the dessert...a pumpkin pie and a pecan plus the green bean casserole. Josh is bringing Hayden..

I bought Santa suits for both Colton and Hayden in hopes of getting pictures of the 2 of them together. So, that will be a task to do tomorrow. Also Josh is going to dress up as Santa so we can get some Santa pictures with Hayden. Hopefully of Colton as well and anyone else that would like to join in.

After dinner is over Tammy and Kyle are planning on going hunting so I'll be on Grams duty until Sunday. Our forecast calls for rain during that time but hopefully it will change so we'll be able to get out of the house and do something. I'm sure I'll be worn out come Sunday but I know we'll have so much fun as well.

You all take care and hopefully next week sometime I'll be able to post a picture or 2 of the kids over Thanksgiving.

Oh...and for those of you planning on getting up early Friday morning to start your holiday shopping...all I can say is "Bless Your Heart" hope you find a deal!

Oh Give Thanks to the Lord for He is Good!

Happy Holidays....Love...Robin

A Trip To San Antonio

Hope this quick update finds you all well.

Today I took day trip to San Antonio. My friend and neighbor and I took off for a craft show. It was nice big show with lots of items to choose from. Around here the shows just aren't any good anymore and they are really small...not worth the trip and the cost to get in. We had a good time shopping for gifts and decorations for the house.

After we were done we stopped at a Mexican restaurant on the way home. We got back home in enough time to chill for the evening before doing our nightly routines.

Hoping tomorrow I'll be in the mood to start the process of decorating for the holidays....BUT....I received a phone call tonight that this precious little girl by the name of Hayden wants her Grams to come over for a visit...so...I just may have to do that tomorrow instead.

I do need to start my decorating...I think I'm gonna have Colton Thanksgiving weekend while Tammy and Kyle go hunting so not sure how much of a help he'll be.

Hope you all have a wonderful weekend. Take care....Robin

First Visit To Grams House

Little Miss Hayden made her first visit to Grams house.It's so neat to have a baby that has hair where you can put a bow in their hair. Jen and Josh were bald and Tammy had some fuzz.

Isn't Miss Hayden so precious?

And here is Hayden with her Mommy and Daddy

And Hayden got a nice surprise while coming to visit her Grams...her cousin Colton was also there. At first Colton didn't want anything to do with her. When I would ask him to come see the baby he would tell me "NO"...he just played with his toys...he wouldn't even look at her...but as soon as she started to cry he came over and was all...baby crying...then he would pet her arm and then he finally would kiss her...it just took him awhile but he came around.

But aren't they sweet...my precious Grand-babies.
