Christmas Day

Merry Christmas everyone!!! I hope it has been a wonderful day for you. My boys are in Cali so I got to sleep in this morning. They are visiting their dad for Christmas and will be home late Monday. My husband is cooking a wonderful dinner for us and our neighbors. We are having a Christmas duck with stuffing, mash potatoes and gravy, and green bean casserole. For dessert we are just having leftover holiday goodies that we have been making all week for gift baskets. We were going to get a Christmas goose for dinner but when we both saw the price tag of $78.56, our mouths dropped open, Chuck placed the goose back into the grocery freezer and we got a Christmas duck at a savings of over $60.

MIA...



I was doing so good too with blogging at least weekly then... nothing. Shame on me! Actually I didn't realize how long it had been since I last blogged. Time seems to be going by so fast. I can't believe that Christmas is less then 2 weeks away. The boys are going to their dad's for a week, so it will only be Chuck and I for Christmas. I kind of wanted to have them for Christmas as I feel that this may be the last time we will be all in the same area to be together for Christmas. Next year so much may change, we will just have to see.
Here is my layout this week. When Shawn gave us December's sketches back in early November I knew what I wanted to do with this sketch. I saw a Christmas layout with Santa in his sleigh with reindeer flying through the sky. The only thing I needed to get was a Cricut cartridge for the Santa and reindeer. How lucky I was when I went to Walmart at midnight on Black Friday to look at the sales and especially the Cricut cartridges that they had on sale for $20, when I found one with exactly what I needed. I was so thrilled. This is probably my most fav layout that I have done so far.
