Christmas 2012

     Well I am very late in posting every thing about Christmas! The past couple of months have been absolutely crazy! We decided to head back to Florida for Christmas, we stopped off in Daytona Beach for a night to visit Keith's grandma and aunt. We had a great time visiting and eating breakfast before leaving for Lakeland the next morning. We spent a fun Christmas Eve with my younger brothers family, opening presents devouring good food and making a Christmas Hello Kitty gingerbread house. Christmas morning started at Keith's moms house where he finally popped the question :) We headed for my younger brothers house and gave the little's their gifts and listened to them talk about all the gifts that Santa had left for them. From there we drove down South to my middle brothers house to spend the afternoon with them :) We stopped by my bestie's house on our way back in to Lakeland before ending our day! A few days after we headed back to Texas to spend time with my oldest brothers family. We stopped in Jacksonville to visit Keith's cousins and had a blast painting at her pottery shop :) Then on to South TX. We had a mini Christmas with them before finding things around town to do and spending New Years Eve with them :) Overall we had the best couple of weeks getting to see so many family members. :)

Happy Birthday Keli!

SEVEN years old???? Seriously little girl stop growing up!

Yesterday.

Yesterday is a day that will not be far from my memory ever. 

My heart aches for those precious souls that were taken so early in their lives.
The teachers that protected these precious children.

The families of those who perished.
The community surrounding this horrific event.
Christmas is a little less bright for our Nation this year.
We must be strong for the children in our own lives,
all while knowing that there are several families grieving the loss
of the children in theirs. We should not just hug our babies tight tonight.
 We should treasure every single moment that we are given. 

We should be teaching them love.
Teaching them about God.


All we can do is pray for those affected yesterday.

& treasure what we have. Thank God for the blessings placed in our lives.

I am wishing I could be with my youngest nieces & nephews. 

I know the youngest know nothing of what happened.

I am so thankful that they still have their innocence.

I am so thankful that they are here & healthy.

Decorating For Christmas!

Finally finished decorating for this year :)
Pay no mind to the fact that it is the middle of the month!

It is not easy to decorate an RV. It is not easy to have Christmas

in an RV period. Since we have not replaced the couch

I decided that the tree would look awesome in that corner :) 

I love Christmas & I love decorating for Christmas

I miss the days of having a house to decorate.
But I am thankful that I have a roof over my head,
and that it is OURS. :)
