monday morning...

and the rush is on!..i have been looking for my Christmas journal, this kinda ugly journal with ducks on the front.( not that i don't like ducks ) that i have been keeping track of Christmas lists for like 15 or more years. i text-ed sister Jana on Saturday and told her i found it so can start Christmas shopping! i always order candy from our homemade candy shop here in town for marks family and a couple friends so i sent the list with dad to give George when he goes to get his newspaper. so i will pick that up tomorrow and hopefully get my mail stuff out too. its late but...better late than never right?
so any way her are a few random pictures to show you. and i hope your christmas preparations are going well. i am constantly telling my self its all about being together and remembering the reason for the season! especially with so much going on in our world and so hard to understand...
