Notions of a Texas Ranch Girl

Dec. 8, 2006

It's beginning to feel a lot like.. Christmas!

JulieStew is having a "We're getting ready for Christmas" photo contest, so here is my official entry, and a few other ones as well.  We put our tree up last weekend, but I wasn't able to post these earlier, as we have had computer woes, but thankfully my hubby is a computer man. 

 

Here we are with our tree almost decked to the full:

 

 

And Lukey playing with an angel:

 

And Scampy, thinking the ornaments are his personal play toys:

 

Now I just need to clean the house, bake the cookies, write my Christmas letter, and find envelopes for my Christmas cards.  Oh yes, and look smashing for the Christmas parties!   I did cut my hair much shorter - literally, I cut it.  Gave Nathan and the boys haircuts and then took the scissors to my hair - whack!  I think I did an ok job?  Lukey said I looked like a new mommy, and Tristan was getting a little nervous when he saw me painting my hair blue, but it all turned out fine.  (The blue was the hilight cream!  - nice cover of grey :))

Dec. 8, 2006 - Christmas Photo Contest

Posted by Juliestew
I love the picture. I have to admit my favorite is the kitty. Since my kids are voting you may consider entering that one! (hee hee) You take such great pics. I sent my mom to your photo blog the other day and she loved it. She's a camera and photo buff too. So glad your hubbie was able to fix your computer.
Thanks for participating!!!
