2010 Christmas Decor

-
The day after Halloween this year, I decorated for Christmas. I was hosting a holiday party that week and we thought Christmas decor would help our friends think Christmas gifts....I think it worked for the most part (or maybe it was the amazing gifts they were selling!) Anyway, it has been a relief to have it all done already. And Andrea helped me make some of my older decoration nicer with some hot glue and a few creative ideas. I was very pleased with how it all came out. This past weekend, the kids and I decorated the tree with their homemade ornaments too. Grandma Sue is letting us borrow her huge Christmas tree this year while she is gone for the months of December and January in the Philippines. We hope to buy a new tree this year similar to it after Christmas when they are on sale. All we need to do now is wrap some gifts we have bought for out of town family :) Here are a few favorite spots...

Doh. Didn't scroll down enough to notice you did a whole post on decorating for Christmas before I commented on your other post! Ha ha! I think it all looks great. I'm getting excited to put all our stuff up, too. Trying to decide where to put what now....

Thanks Jamie. It is fun to decorate a new house and find new places for all your stuff. It's our 2nd Christmas here and it is so different from last year. Have fun decorating your new place!

Our 2024 Christmas Update

Merry Christmas from our crew to yours! We are thankful for 2024 and all that it brought to our family. God has been gracious and merciful to us as we hope to glorify Him with our lives and figure out our next season of life. We had more ups than downs this year and are excited to see what unfolds in 2025. John and Deanna celebrated 26 years of marriage this year and were able to celebrate with an anniversary trip through four National Parks in CA and NV. It was an amazing trip and of course urges us to travel more this coming year while we are healthy enough to hike and have more time on our hands in this short season. Other family highlights of 2024 included seeing the Total Eclipse, watching the Chiefs win another Superbowl, and spending time together all six of us at home or on vacations together a few times this year.  John spent the last year continuing to volunteer with Partners Worldwide, his business mentor group, and our church, Bethel Baptist Church. He started a contrac...

The peer pressure of the internet

So I have been invited about 5 times to join Facebook this past year and it seems lately most of my adult friends are joining. I have been afraid to join, not because of the crazy psychos out there, but because I know the time I would lose once I joined. I keep going back and forth and am driving John crazy using his account all the time to email friends I haven't talked to for awhile. He keeps telling me to get my own account. He joined last year because his youth Sunday School Class was all on there and it was better for them to discuss and email through Facebook . He is just now using it to re-connect with other people or talk back and forth with KC friends here (he no longer teaches the youth at church). When my friend Sara joined she said her inbox was full of friend requests and how crazy it was to get requests from people she never really talked to back in high school. Is it rude to just decline those people or is the "cool" thing to just have a bunch of friend...
