A CHARLIE BROWN CHRISTMAS!!!!!

Since my Christmas decorations are in Emily's basement, we decided to do the tree "Judy Lauson style." We brought in our wooden coat rack, threw a sheet over it, and made all the decorations. Isn't she bee-uuu-ti-ful?

The beginning:


The finished product:


Adding Mom to the finished product: I look kind of crabby - you KNOW I hate decorating the Christmas tree - pictures prove it!


Have a blessed Christmas with Christ in the center!

Thought I would add our fun activity today. The Morrow family invited us sledding with lunch to follow at their house. I bought boots last year so I could go sledding with the kids. On the way to the hill, we stopped at Starbucks (because we both had a gift card and wanted something to drink while sitting in the car watching the kids sled). When I finished my drink, I went to slide down the hill. Zachary walked up the hill with me because he wanted to show me the best spot to use to slide down the hill. Here I am going 100 mph. Notice the slicked hair do.

This is how I ended up. Serena was gracious enough to get it on film (or SD card).

It actually was fun and I wanted to go again, BUT, both Serena and I had to get rid of our coffee (if you know what I mean). That ended the sledding for the day. Maybe the kids and I will go again soon.
