S&T Fri -- Twas the Week Before Christmas
A "snapshot", via poetry, of what our week was like....
Twas the week before Christmas,
and all through my house,
the kids spent a relaxing time playing,
while I scurried around like a busy mouse.
The last of the goodies are made,
thanks to some helpful hands.
Cards & packages finally mailed out,
to family & friends around the land.
The grandparents are coming,
they will be here late tomorrow,
my dishwasher has been broken,
and caused me great sorrow.
I didn't complete everything on my list,
but that has been alright --
My family & I are still blessed,
for our hearts are filled with the Lord's joyful light.
DH & I have been married 10 years, so DD & I took the cards that we have received over the years and cut them apart and put them on white cardstock to send out as our cards this year. It was a fun project and it was so fun to look through all the different ones.
Every year, we make a gingerbread house and DD is the official “Gingerbread House Designer." This year she led creating “A Mouse House Wedding” themed one. We are pleased to announce that Mr. & Mrs. Gum E. Mouse were married in the front garden of their new home by Rev. Horse. Mr. Moose spent time sipping from the well, while Mr. Pole R. Bear peeked from around the corner trying to crash the wedding.
My mother-in-law gave me some neat jello molds a few years back, but we don't really eat jello. I decided to take the broken crayons we had, melt them down in the oven, and them pour them into the molds. They turned out great, and they will be one of Little Man's stocking stuffers.
Please join the rest of the crowd for Show&Tell every Friday! Canadagirl has all the information right HERE, along with this week's participants.

I have been the bride to the most gracious, sweetest man in the world for the last 11 years. What I love most about him is that he is always striving to be a better husband, father, and child of God.
