Catch up!

I must say that life has been a little busy! We've had Halloween and Thanksgiving since my last post. I just couldn't let Christmas sneak by too.
Halloween...
We had a great time at Kooky Karnival (the only St. John's fund raiser of the year)the Saturday before Halloween. We had a great time visiting friends and family on Halloween night. Keely was Tinkerbell and Allison was a Rock Star. I was the queen of hearts once again.


Thanksgiving...
Thanksgiving was a blessed time. There were over 30 people at the house and it snowed (alot). We spent time with family that we have not spent time with in a long time. And there were some that are always here that did not get to come this year. We missed them. It was great to be surrounded by people who love you. We are blessed to have a family that gets along and loves being with each other.
Now...
Tis the Season. Trees are up (3 to be exact and 2 more coming). Presents are bought.... (not all wrapped, any volunteers). Christmas cards sent. Parties attended. Christmas musical performed. Pageants being prepared. Travel arrangements being made. Party being planned. House being cleaned...
Does it end.? I am remembering to not sweat the small stuff and if it doesn't have garland hanging from it....it is ok. The real reason for the season is Jesus!
We give because He gave.
