Awards

Some of my wonderful Bloggy Friends have blessed me with a few very nice rewards.

Jen at My Kids are My World gave me the Marie Antoinette Award...

Tammy at Pink Stinx gave me the lovely Christmas Spirit award.

I need to list 5 things I love about Christmas.

1. The Birth of Jesus.

2. The fresh tree smell in my home.

3. The holiday goodies.

4. The innocents that my boys have as they believe in Santa.

5. The joy of giving to others.

Finally Maggie at Life with boys gave me this wonderful award.

Some of these are from a while back and I have been slow at getting to them. But I want to thank all of you for thinking of me. It is so wonderful having bloggy friends like you.

Today I feel like sharing the wealth for all of these. So these are for all my bloggy friends.

Merry SITSmas

This is a Merry SITSmas Christmas.
Here is a Christmas Card for all my Bloggy Friends. Tiffany, Maggie , Tammy, Scargosun, Peanut, Heather, Mandy, Melissa, Sissy, Jen, Diane, Meredith, & Jeanne.

Have a Very Merry Christmas

& Happy New Year!

My boys last year at Christmas time with Santa.

If I left you out I really didn't mean too. Just know this card is for you also.

Also on another Holiday Note...

----- Something cool that Xerox is doing.

If you go to this web site, http://www.letssaythanks.com/ you can pick out a thank you card and Xerox will print it and it will be sent to a soldier that is currently serving in Iraq .

You can't pick out who gets it, but it will go to some member of the armed services. How AMAZING it would be if we could get everyone we know to send one!!! This is a great site.

Please send a card. It is FREE and it only takes a second. Wouldn't it be wonderful if the soldiers received a bunch of these? Whether you are for or against the war, our guys and gals over there need to know we are behind them...

Christmas Gift Revealed

Yesterday my husband and my 5 year old Luke went Christmas shopping. They went to buy gifts for me and for his little brother Thomas. That evening Eric brings in the packages and puts them into our office. Luke comes walking out holding up this little bag that says Kay Jewelers on it. He says to me, “mommy your present is in this little bag”. I start laughing so hard and then go tell my husband what he has done. Eric is all ticked off and yells at Luke for showing me the bag. I had to remind Eric Luke is 5 and doesn’t understand that if I read the name on the bag I am going to know I am getting a piece of jewelry for Christmas. So Eric tried to explain this to him that mommy has a pretty good idea what she is getting for Christmas now. Then Luke with a real serious face says to me, “mommy what you think is in that bag isn’t what is really in that bag.” I just smiled at him and laughed at my husband. Poor Luke just can’t wait for Christmas.

Now I have to be very patient and wait until Christmas to see what they bought me. So are you one who will snoop because you can’t wait to know or are you willing to wait and not peak at those gifts hidden around the house?

The Letter "M"

I read a post on Lynn's Life the yesterday and she was playing a game and invited anyone who wanted to play along to let her know. She had to name ten things she liked that started with the letter "B". She had a pretty great list so I decided it would give me something fun to blog about.

So I asked her to send me a letter. So she did and now I have to name ten things I love that start with the letter "M". I would first like to say this is a lot harder than it sounds. I was thinking of M and all that came to my mind was men. I love my husband but I don't love men. But now I have men stuck in my head and I am having a heck of a time getting it out of my head. After some serious thought I think I have come up with a list of ten things I love that start with the letter "M".

1. MUSIC... I love music. I couldn't go through my life with out it. I can live with out TV, the computer but not music. I think music moves the soul and can often inspire us. I have the radio on all the time, in the car, at work and even right now I am enjoying the Christmas music.

2. MOOSE... no not the animal but the chocolate kind. I could indulge in chocolate moose all day long.

3. MONEY... that is a given. I am not a materialistic person but I do like to have money. I use to have a lot more of it before I had two kids. Now I tend to spend all my money on my boys.

4. MOVIES... I enjoy a good movie every now and then. I don't usually get to enjoy them in the theaters but I will sit and watch them on TV at home. I sat and watched EDTV yesterday. It was a cute movie that I had never seen.

5. MAY... the month of course. I love May because it is the month where the weather really starts to warm up and the flowers are popping up everywhere, everything is really starting to turn green and it just makes me a happier person. Is it May yet....

6. MAGAZINE... I could curl up on the coach with a good magazine and read it cover to cover, if the kids are asleep. I enjoy fitness magazines and parenting magazines. They give me ideas and sometimes motivate me to do something.

7. MY MERCURY... OK this is probably not something I truly love but I do like my Mercury Mariner SUV. It has been a good car and it is great for hauling things around.

8. MAROON FIVE... on of my favorite bands. I love their sound and I still listen to them even though I listen to country music pretty much all the time now.

9. MINTS... I could snack on sweet mints all day long. I will probably not have any teeth when I get older but I love to chew on mints.

10. MARRIAGE... it isn't always a joy and we don't always get along but I do love being married to my husband. I have 10 years of it so far and I pray for many more to come.

So that is my list and I have to say some of those took me a while to come up with. So if you feel like making a list let me know and I will send you a letter so that you can play along.
