Merry Christmas to me

I just had to show off my new Christmas table setting I got for myself for Christmas.=> Isn't it so lovely!!!! I got two boxes so I would have a setting for 8, but now I wish I had gotten 3 so I would have enough for 12. Oh, well. I had bought a different set a few years ago, (of just 4) telling my husband exactly where he could go to get my another one so I would have 8, but did he listen ??? NO! and then it was gone and I have this fun snowman set of 4 dishes. Really, what can I do with just 4 dishes????? So this time I just got what I wanted, just to make sure. I am especially excited because they match then table cloth and napkins I bought a year ago. It is hand embroidered from Singapore. I brought them home and washed down the table and the girls helped me set up the table all pretty so I could take a picture. => Then I put my table cloth away. We have eaten on the dishes, thought they do not sit out on the table. I am not that stupid!!! I hope you all have such an exciting Christmas!!! I know mine is made!!!!

'Tis the Season

So Christmas is offically on at my house. We finished handing all the lights outside yesterday. Amber and Clara helped me while the weather was nice. And what help they were. Then I also finished all the Christmas dresses and one Christmas tie. => Sew very VERY happy about that. And we got everyone all dressed up after dinner and took a picture and I ordered cards and they should be out very soon. All in all it was a very productive day and the kids are all in the holiday spirit. Now if only we had a tree.
