But here it is, December 1st, yikes, only 24 more days til Christmas. Are you ready? I’m not quite there yet, so I really need to buckle down and get some things accomplished each day. I will no doubt go in to ‘list-making’ overdrive!
I’ve got just about all my decorations up (there’s always room for improvement ;-) but haven’t had a chance to take any photos yet. Until I do, I thought I’d ‘borrow’ a few from Cheryl. She took some of our cul-de-sac the other night. There are only 4 houses on it and it looks so festive out there.
I decided I wouldn’t try to hang lights up high this year but I used my old netting lights around the bushes and trees. I have some up at the garage too but they may not have been lit in the picture.
I covet her reindeer ;-) I’ve always wanted lighted reindeer in my yard but Jason ‘poo poos’ the thought because he said we would have nowhere to store them for the other 48 weeks of the year :( (if he’d get rid of all the tools/machines in there that he doesn’t use, maybe there’d be room – I’m just sayin!).
OK, must jump off here, go get ready and off out to shop again. And THEN I’ll do the housework – yes I like the sound of that order ;-)
Oh and btw, that photo of Kristen was taken by Cheryl on Sunday at her son Connor’s birthday party. I had ‘curled’ Kristen’s hair using some new foam rollers we got her. She looked so pretty! Finally my little girl will let me play with her hair – I’ve only had to wait 10 years!

I am so not ready! I'm just recovering from the trip. Today I will start, I think. SO much to do in the next three weeks, isn't there? Kristen looks beautiful!
before you know it she'll want to wear makeup, the time goes by so fast!! your decorations look nice and Kristen is a beauty!
Your cul de sac looks so festive! I wish I had more property so I could put up some fun things on the lawn but unfortunately we can't. Oh well... I'll enjoy yours from a distance!
Hope you find everything you're looking for in your shopping quest. I have to sit and think about what else I need. We don't have many to buy for so it shouldn't take that long to finish up. I always have that panic attack on the 24th though... "Did I forget anyone?"
Love you xo
How I wish I were going out shopping but I haven't even started decorating. I complain about it a lot but haven't started!
Your cul de sac looks gorgeous! My hubby will not put up lights...it's just too cold here to put them up and take them down. I don't blame him. I just have a candle and wreath in every window.
Good luck finding your calender and yes, Kristen looked beautiful for the party!
XO,
Jane
gosh, my little rascal loves me doing her hair. At the moment it's all 'can you do plaits mum'!
K is a very beautiful young lady, she's so grown up.
Looks very festive over there :o)
No, I'm not ready yet. Yes to pressies, that's all sorted, but no to decorating and thinking about food etc. I've got the outdoor lights on now, but that's about it! I need to pull my finger out and get working.

Hi Denise, that sure is a pretty picture of Kristen. You could get a small storage unit just for your Christmas items. Just an idea. Have fun decorating.
Kristen is looking so grown up these days! Where did the time go??
I love those lighted reindeer too - they look so pretty and graceful. We don't do anything on the outside except a wreath on the door. LAME! LOL! We just enjoy everyone else's decorations outside. :) I'll have to take some pictures of a neighbor's house at night. It's crazy! They have dozens and dozens of those huge blow up decorations on their lawn. Yep, will try to photograph their yard and put the pics on my blog. I'm trying to blog again and doing ok so far.
Be back to see you again soon!
Hugs,
Lynn
Hi Denise!
Guess what? Your name was drawn for my Starbucks gift card giveaway! Yae :)
So can you please email me your mailing address? My email address is: jenniferclare@cox.net
I'll get it sent right off to you :)
Congrats again & Have a great day!
Well my reindeer my wonder over the property line ever now and then :) I think you should just go get one and store it in my attic with mine the other 48 weeks. :) Have a great day!
those lighted reindeer are so cute! kristen is adorable :) my daughter doesn't let me touch her hair too often! got some shopping done the boys are so much harder to buy for! take care, susan
Hi Denise! Guess Kiki will just have to double up on chocolates if you don't get the calendar in time. ;) I remember making Justin & Jessica take turns with the calendar. What a nice cozy cul de sac with only 4 homes. That is a drawback to holiday decorations... where to store them all. We have shelves full of Dept 56 and rafters full of Christmas trimmings. (((Hugz)))
Kristen is so beautiful...just like her mommy! =) ~Liz
