I had never watched the movie Prancer but did tonight, it is a wonderful Christmas movie! I went through a lot of tissues! I am glad I watched it alone, LOL!

I was so proud of Charli today! Les and I kept her because her Papa Mickey had surgery and we took her to the dentist were she colored and then sat on my lap while the hygienist cleaned my teeth! She never got a nap but at her last Kindermusik she was also wonderful. We came home and watched Santa Claus is Coming to Town.
This is the set I crocheted for her, I was going to give her for Christmas but it is so cold and she was playing with mine so I gave them to her.

Charli and I watched a neat programs on Animal Planet and learned about this Diving Bell spider, it was very cool and I wanted to remember so I put it here. Image is linked if you want to learn about it.

Mom had her surgery today, it was just a cyst No Cancer! I also had to go to our WMU supper by myself because Les was throwing up and of course I had car trouble and had to call my SIL. Les's truck has been messed up about 3 weeks and we are sharing. I hope I an get to work in the AM!

This is my 29th anniversary, Les and I are going to Yoder's which is a Mennonite Restaurant in Abbeville with the choir at church, it was a good night for then to have their Choir Supper, I think. It has been Many years since I went there. I don't usually enjoy cafeteria food but I remember when I was young they had a peach, pecan, caramel pie which was awesome. Maybe I can get that, LOL!
This is from Thursday when we took Charli to Connie Maxwell Children's Home. Gina lives right at it and she met us there to pick her up. Charli was so excited about the animals! Thank goodness I had just made this hat for my great-niece because it was im the 40's and cold!
I sold 5 more pairs of earrings and took a portrait for Christmas Cards this weekend. One of my Church friends sold the earrings at her shop for me, how great is that?

I saw this cloud over the mall one night and thought it was so cool!
I stopped by and saw my Dr yesterday, I have a cyst on my wrist and have to go to a specialist Christmas Eve. That's what happened before my hand surgery 10 years ago. At least I can finish my Christmas presents before I have anything done! Sold two pairs of earrings at Dr's office, too.
Made a couple of bracelets I will share later.

Spent many hours rearranging my farm on Farmville after I reached level 29 and expanded. I seem to be addicted to it! I will not play another game there!!

We had Thanksgiving Dinner at My MIL's but it was not the same, First Thanksgiving without Papa, Gina and Trey at his Mom's, and the worse, Les had to open the store and work all day and Only got an hour lunch to come eat!

I sent Last week's I am sorry Correct on is HERE

Here is Charli helping us make our red velvet cake, Gina used green food coloring in one and I had help with my red layer from Charli, I used a recipe from Cooks.com and it was awful, Gina said she thinks it is because we used all purpose flour, I don't know but it was a waste! Pretty though!
Les got me a camcorder yesterday and I am very excited to try it out on Charli!

Even Digital Scrappers have Black Friday sales, LOL! Crash, Boom Pow is a collab between Connie Prince and Armina at Gotta Pixel, (image is linked) It was a perfect kit to start on some pages for Charli's Halloween, you can tell she loved Halloween!I also did a couple of Christmas pages using Hey Santa which Connie has at Elemental Scraps. I tried uploading to Elemental and Scrapable but both flipped out when I tried to get on!
For some reason my heart has not been in Scrapping but I have done a few pages to add to a Bragbook for Charli. I have gotten behind this year with that!

HAPPY THANKSGIVING! We are going to Gina's in a little while and she and I will bake a red velvet cake together. I am excited my MIL is coming and so my Mom and my MIL will both be there! I really promise I will take more pictures this year. I am slack on Thanksgiving pictures!
Trey will fry a turkey and I can't wait to have some!
I have been busy with making my Christmas gifts, I love the set I made for my DiL! the yarn is called something like I Love this Yarn from Hobby Lobby. I Have a small ball left over to make a flower pin to put on her jacket. The red and black skinny scarf is made for a best friend and the bracelet is for someone special, I love the way it turned out! Will post more later.

Santa is bringing Charli a Big Girl bed and she is so excited, she loves playing on her bed now that the side is off the crib, her linens are in the wash but she had to show me how she can do it, LOL! this was last week. She is now 22 months!
She is getting a Daybed, I can't wait to see what Gina picks out and the spread or quilt, Maybe she can finally get some window coverings since Charli be able to look out when she stands up. (Odd size windows that need to be made)

I hope you like my new Christmas Header! The kit is Deck the Halls by Cathy K Designs!

Last night we took Charli to the Christmas Festival at work where she saw Santa and rode the train, It was fun showing her off to the parents of the kids I have taught!
She was fascinated with the trees so I was happy to bring her home and decorate my tree! In 2 weeks I have been married to Les 29 years and I don't remember him ever helping me with the tree but you can see he and Charli are having a good time! It was hard for him, too, because the unit in his back has fluid around it and he keeps getting catches in his back.
I used to be so particular about my tree, I have gorgeous pink, green and teal decorations but they are staying boxed up this year and I have red lights and bows and snowmen and Santas and the little groups of ornaments at the bottom will stay just like they are... unless Charli decides they will look better somewhere else!

My cutie and my Christmas cactus

After my Grandmother saw my Christmas cactus she gave me hers this summer, I kept it outside all summer and brought it in when it started getting cool, it is really showing out! I will set my smaller one outside next year, too!
These are a couple of pictures of Charli Wednesday, she was acting silly so I didn't get any really good ones but she was cute with her little earrings!

I wasn't prepared for what happened on The Mentalist tonight! I really love that show!
Here's another picture from Charli's other Grandmother. Love the little suit!

Trey's Mom took this sweet picture! She shares lots of pictures with me on Facebook.
I forgot to mention I sold 3 pairs of the earrings I posted and Mom's boss said I could bring some to the store to sell! That is great because they sell all types of gifts and jewelry!!

As you can see I had some 'help' working on a scarf I am making, LOL! She kept saying "Do it, Please!" and twisting her hand so I took a picture, she was very excited! She is working on coloring right now and I thought while she colored I could work on my scarf but she really wanted me to color, to.
She was excited to show me she was sleeping in her big girl bed now, Gina and Trey converted her crib and she was enjoying getting in and out of it!
And finally these are the socks I got her. She Loves them! Pulls up her pant leg and says, "Ho, Ho, Ho!" She loves 'Claus', and already is excited to see pictures of him!

Note to self: need to update header.
Got my H1N1 shot at the health dept and only had to wait 45 mins. then went to eat at Huddle House with Mom and Jeff. Les is on all nights except Wed. this week.
