When you have children, you can do things like THIS to them, please note, Lulu looks very thrilled to be my child in these pic's. Honest she does! LOL. But the flip side is that I did the same thing to Amanda when she was this age. I made this Christmas Elf for Amanda, then we wrapped up little candies and put them in a basket, and we went to my job (at the time) and she had to hand out individually wrapped candies to the people I worked with. TO make that worse, LOL, I had someone with me video taping it. :) Arn't I a lovely mommy? To this day Molly gets mad if we play the tape. Oh the loving of digital cameras. LOL. I can take pic's and have instant gratification.





Here are some of the puppies I never got around to posting




Here is Molly's Christmas Village, well half of it, and then a zoom of two of my favorite pieces of it. Please note these are not done getting put up. They are just sitting there. Things have to get moved into the right places and lights have to be put in, etc.




Here are some of the larger village




And here are some pieces that got put in my room. *note* we lost the large entertainment center over the summer so, I have no place to put them all together. It is going to be a challenge this year to get it all together.


OOOH OOOH how about this, we finally got fall ;) Well maybe later of the fall pic's, photobucket decided it won't let me in. GRRR. I will be looking for a new image host. Photobucket does not even have a way to contact them. This happens way to much for my user pleasure. I am tired of Photobucket. THis is crap.

'Tis the season

Ok I have held off posting about The big Christmas as long as possible for me! Let me start with a few days to remember:

Molly's b-day is December 17th
My sissy and I celebrate our aging on December 23rd (ain't that a crock of poop?)
Christmas Eve - December 24
The big day - December 25
Uncle Craigs B-day - December 27th

OK, having said that you get the idea that I get Jipped a lot on my b-day, always have and ... well I guess I always will. With the exception of NYPINTA she always used to make a point to get me something for each and NOT WRAP MY B-DAY PRESENT IN CHRISTMAS PAPER.

I broke down and bought the Dr. Elmo Christmas CD so that I could entertain LULU wiht "Grandma got run over by a reindeer" and I figured the entire CD would be slap stick funny songs. How wrong was I? Waaahy wrong. There is a song called, "Your the reason they invented mistletoe" omg it is so sweet, and then there is another song, "Christmas all year long" and in this one he is talking about the love of his life and how he is gonna hide her from santa... oooohhh too sweet. Go buy the CD, if your sentimental like me then you will be all mushy over it.

And that is really unlike me to go patching out about the non-traditional Christmas songs. I am a ... Bing Crosby... white christmas... sorta Christmas song gal. I like the old boys and I like the orginal songs unscathed. But in the 80's I did vary a little by tuning into Jon Jett and the Blackheart's rendition of "Little Drummer Boy" (Little Drummer Boy untouched is my favorite christmas song, a little Jenny Trivia if you ever need it). Other then that one questionable deviation from Classic Christmas Music, lol, I am an old time gal.

My goal today was to clean out my closet. However, I went to make the kids panacakes and realized we had a bulweival invasion. My aunt and I spent the majority of the day cleaning out the kitchen cubbords and throwing stuff away. I was suprised to find expired stuff in there. *SIGH* fat girl had to part with food. Man that sucked. LOL. 4 garbage bags of stuff came out of the Cubbards and fridge (why not Sue said she would clean out the fridge also).

I was traumatized by the event as my fat ass was the one going up and down the step ladder. While I was up the ladder I cleaned the walls and the outside of the cubbard doors (and the inside of them and the hinges and the bottoms of the cubbards). SIGH. But the upside was looking for places to decorate and talking about what decorations we will put out (I threw away the big entertainment center so we lost a lot of shelf space for the villages) and how we are going to do this.

I say we but really I do most of the decorating because I am the only one physically able to get up and down the ladder but the villages are Sue's. I buy her a new piece every year or Harry does. And there is the infamous Christmas Tree story (I will tell you later). I did however make one request and that is I get the Christmas stuff in their will if something ever happens to them. OK. tacky, maybe but I have bought an awful lot of that stuff and I will use it. But then and again Sue has four daughters and Harry has two daughters and I guess that it is not my place to ask for hand outs. SIGH. But both of them are in relatively good health and I don't really look forward to having to dibby up anything any time soon.

We are watching the second Christmas movie of the year Jack Frost (we watched the polar express a few nights ago).

I am off to get a piece of Pecean pie and visit some blogs on my blog roll.
