What a busy week and it's only Wednesday!
A very very Happy Birthday to our son Kyle yesterday...he turned 21! I just can't beleive it.
When he was born we brought him home from the hospital in an over sized Christmas stocking on Christmas Eve morning...oh my goodness I am tearing up just thinking about!
I guess I am getting sentinmental as time is passing by so quickly these days. My sweet sister opened up her home for us to celebrate Kyle's Birthday. Thank you again, Kim and family!

We really had a fun evening last night.

I rounded up a few party goers to smile for the camera :))

A very large bundled package came in the mail on Monday afternoon ~~~ I won a beautiful area rug from HERE on Stephanie Lynn's Blog! I was over joyed and felt like Chistmas had come a little early just for me. I unrolled the rug and decided to try it right away in the living-room... a fun hip floral patterned rug with lots of pretty tones. I walked into the kitchen for a second after I put the rug down and was looking for our newest member of the family...April? Where are you?
Well look who was checking out the new rug?

Silly April, she knows she is not allowed in the living-room but look how adorable she is? Frozen! ha-ha
This is her first Christmas with us so she is fascinated by everything happening around the house lately.

I didn't have the energy or time to pull out my large white tree I usually decorate for the living-room...so this is what I did...My Travel Tree is petite and sitting in our front window.


I added a few cut pieces of spruce branches and resting them on the black framed sillouttes of my sister and I when we were young.

Hope your week is going well friends! Four days and counting, yikes I am not ready!
In the busyness of the season remember to stop, pause and celebrate the true meaning of Christmas.

Hugs and Christmas blessings to each of you,
