It's Not Over til the Chubby Lady Cleans

 

Well, the week started with rainy weather and ended with more of the same. It didn't slow anyone down though! I am thankful for that!  This was the scene after Charlie Brown movie night at church.  I love that little movie- but I was amazed to find out it is 55 years old!  I watched it when I was growing up and again when my children were little and now when I am a child at heart.  

The kids seemed to enjoy Cookie Night, and I am very thankful that I found more sprinkles in the freezer because one child decorated one cookie with an entire jar of them.  She was proud of that cookie too. 

Christmas Eve and Christmas Day were both fun filled and loud!  Mark and I both were exhausted after everyone went home.  Well, he'll deny it, but I won't! 

I hope all who celebrate have and had a wonderful holiday season.

In the Christmas Spirit

Recently, we drove down to Carmela's Magical Santa Land in Longview, Texas. It was a great way to celebrate our 48th anniversary.  Oh, how bright the lights were!  

The drive is about a mile long, with a pullover along the way to grab a cup of hot chocolate, take a photo with Santa, and a short walking trail of lights if you please. 

It was just what my dragging spirit needed and I am thankful that there are folks out there who go to these extremes to liven up the holiday for kids of all ages.  She doesn't charge a fee, but does take donations at the end of the ride.  

Can you believe there are over 4 million lights in this drive through park?  WOW!  

I hope you all are having a good week and enjoying the holiday season.
