My Poor Reindeer

I came upon my home after a day at work and an easy commute, to find that all my reindeer are tired of standing! All 5 of them seem to be sleeping. Larry put stakes in them in the ground so they would stay, Ha, guess they needed a nap!
So then I was very concerned. What else may have fallen over, in my absence? Turns out the stairwell and the tree at the top are both fine! Whew!

Oh no, what about the red tree in the kitchen, please don't let that one get tired, there are gifts for the fam under there!

Whew! A little taken apart, but not knocked over, thankfully!!

The tree in the living room, the real one, did that one give way to resting! Ahhhhh, thank God, it is still standing!

I was very concerned because of that really neat Christmas Train runs underneath this tree. There are very many presents under this tree too! Breath easy it is still standing!

Doing fine!!

The Front of our home looks ok! The tree in the "tower" (HA) is still standing and lit!

There it is that's the reason the deer couldn't stand any longer..............................

Look what has taken over my garage! Oh yea! I will be parking outside again!

Sad part is, I have to enjoy this, it is not only Larry into it, you can see Papaw and Adam are loving the new project too!!

It was so nice to park in the garage for that short time!! Now I understand, my poor reindeer just gave up!!! As soon as they saw this pull in the drive, they just fell over!

I almost had a garage to park my vehicle in! ALMOST! HA!!

Mother of the Year..

Mitchell, You have to move your feet, not steer with your neck!

Go, Windy, use those feet (covered in wet boots) and legs and EXERCISE!!!!

Absolutely, go sledding, down that hill, right toward that creek!!! It is a little cold so maybe you should put your coat on and wear jeans!!!

In the snow we must show a little skin! Snow pants are for wusses and we don't have any of those here!!! Hats are so overrated just put your hood on!

Windy, boots are not necessary and it is all about the fashion, make sure you wear that cute brown coat, noooo not your warm one!!

Go babies!!!!!!!!! Having fun, with mommy taking pictures from the inside!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Nominate Me for Mother Of The Year! It is so obvious I am Well Deserving!!

Happy Sledding to all!! I mean those who have snow, not you Lomelins (unless you can sled on sand, hmmmmm, let me know)!!!!

Hunting Season....

Saturday night, Larry was playing cards with some friends and letting loose a little, boy's night out (or in). As I was leaving to go to work, sadly, I drove through our back yard and about four deer, all does were curiously looking at my headlights, they started to move and I drove toward them more! Then I headed to work, but not without asking the deer to kindly sleep in the backyard and wait patiently until morning until our friend could be there, for hunting! One deer patiently waited and when I returned home from work, they were loading the one deer in the back of the truck, sounds like a ton of sausage and venison chili this year!!!!
Funny thing, every time we see deer, all of us, Larry and the kids and myself, we all act like it is the first time! Maybe one day I'll actually take pictures!
I am so thrilled that Larry was able to enjoy an evening with his friends, get in a little cards, a little food, and it sounds like he had some fun too!
I have noticed that I enjoy entertaining in my home, even if I can't be there! Silly, strange, isn't it? Who enjoys entertaining, when they aren't apart of it? Guess that would be me. I'll clean, cook and say hello and good-bye and leave with that feeling of yes, I am apart of that!
Silly, isn't it!

Dress up

It was fun again this year. I love it. I love the dress-up, the pretend, the parade at school, the party at school, the night time of running door-to-door and saying hello, the community, the chatter, the oh how cute costumes on little ones, I just love the fun and yes I even love the candy, every piece I check I love. It is just plain fun!!!

I just wish I would have taken more pictures! As you can see Mama (me) dresses the same every year. The kids pick new costumes every year, except Yaya, she went with last years costume!

We visited both old and new neighbors, hung out with family and laughed a ton! Now that is a good day!!!!!!!!
