The Goose is Getting Fat!

♪♪Christmas is coming, the goose is getting fat♪♪... Yes, Christmas is coming! It's hard to believe that Christmas is almost here. Some days it seems the year has flown by, other days it feels like the year has lasted a decade. Either way, the year has been full of much activity and many blessings!

This will probably be my last post until after Christmas, as each day gets busier and busier...with wrapping, cooking, traveling, and finally settling in for a nice cozy Christmas right here with my DH, kids, kidlets and dogs!

Below you will find just a sampling of the Christmas spirit in progress...

* Side Note: I like to make Christmas "interesting", so I use weird boxes to wrap things in, and put odd objects in the boxes to "throw them off" when they shake the package. I also like to mess with the labeling of To: and From: - For instance, a DVD might be wrapped in a picture frame box, have a used DVD in it, but have $100.00 in the DVD case and be from "Ben". Thus Matt and his Cherrios. However, Natalie was NOT impressed when she opened a present and found a Cheerio box. It's captured on Matt's video, but I didn't get a photo of if. The look on her face was PRICELESS! She said, (in her most disappointed voice ever, accompanied by a very sad face) "Cheerios! But...but, I didn't ask for Cheerios." I love those moments!!!!
