t-minus 5 months

in exactly 5 months, you can find me here...if i'm lucky linda/bonnie will let me play dress up again this year too & of course, there is always enough snow for "horton hears a who"

another bestie married!

off soon to gabby & jp's wedding with the girls & cannot believe its already here!!!  love our bestie garter so much & so happy to have started this tradition with our friends! don't worry ali poole, your strip is already made and ready for tacking on too! ;-)

merry merry merry Christmas

merry Christmas! 
who would have ever imagined there would be this many stockings on our mantle? hopefully you have a good Christmas full of lots of fun things, family bonding, while remembering the true reason we celebrate the holiday...it is so interesting to hear about everyones family Christmas traditions and how Christmas was done when you were little...


for me however i still request that santa comes every year and no presents appear until the christmas morning...santa still gets milk and cookies and wraps every single one of our presents as well as the contents of our stockings.  sid still sits in his chair and is on wrapping paper clean up duty with his cup of coffee dictating when we take breaks from the festivities. 


monica and jeramy will be here soon and the gift opening will begin.  what a fun year to add in 2 dogs, a husband, and fiance to the guertin mix.  i secretly think sid is just thankful to have 3 boys [including wilson] home for the holidays...merry, merry, merry Christmas! 

the most wonderful time of the year

today is one of my favorite parts of Christmas! despite the fact that we have to deal with hectic traffic, heading to Mt. Pisgah for Christmas Eve service is by far one of my favorite things! for some reason the cute sermons always stick with me throughout the rest of the year and seeing how they play joy to the world and hark the herald angel sing how can i resist!?

the Compton's are coming over this year to join us for Christmas Eve church and dinner too!  Percy meets her new "squeaky toy" Wilson for the first time as Sid says! can't wait to open up our traditional Christmas Eve presents...a new Christmas ornament to add to the tree as well as our Christmas pajamas!
