Our Christmas Card Photo


Here is our Christmas photo we sent to everyone this year. It was actually taken six months ago in June while we were on vacation. Hard to believe it has been that long ago already and that there was snow icy snow still available on Hurricane Ridge,Wa in late June. I hope to update all of you soon. We are knee deep in holiday preparations around here.
Take care and blessings to all of you...

Thanksiving Photos to share




I know the Christmas decorating is now in full gear but I wanted to share with all of you some Thanksgiving photos. I enjoy the holiday very much and am always a little saddened how it is so lost/hidden between two of the most highly advertized holidays. Enjoy the photos and I hope to post a new post sometime soon on what we are currently learning about....



As you can see I love table decorating and home entertaining. One of these years I need to participate in our local fairs table decorating contest. The fun I have is making the people I host treated as fine guests. If you have china plates why not use them. I enjoy using mine especially since I only get to use them a handful of times throughout the year. This is the kids table centerpiece. I found the idea in a Family Fun magazine issue. Luckily I had the turkey face from a craft that my kids had done at a school event.
There is a fun story that goes along with this table cloth. We added a new table in our holiday event this year and I didn't have a table cloth to fit its size. I didn't have time or money to spend on a new table cloth. I came up with a quick fun alternative. We had an old sheet from our Revolutionary War tents and I set it outside with some paint and the kids had fun painting turkey hands all over it. It was good messy fun. What made it more memorable was that we had to beat the incoming rain that was lingering overhead as well.
I hope you enjoyed a few Thanksgiving pix.
Blessings,
Amy
