Christmas Activities

I love everything about the Christmas season.  We have been involved in a number of activities, but I just haven't had time to get to the computer to share them.

1.  The first weekend in December we were at the church helping with the 29th annual Living Christmas Tree.  As most of you know, I am quite the shutterbug, but unfortunately, this year, no picture.

2.  Collin and I attended the annual Riceland Banquet held out the Fowler Center.  I always look forward to this event.  We get to dress up a bit, enjoy a fantastic meal, and visit with friends.   We won door prizes this year.  Collin got a 4-place set of white Corelle while I won a 7X9 casserole with a carry tote.  Both were very nice.  I took my phone with the express intent of having someone snap our photo, but I forgot--no picture.

3.  Tuesday, I decorated and hosted a luncheon for my staff at school.  I thought everything looked nice and went well.  I took my camera to make a few pictures.  I was so busying being the hostess, I forgot until everyone was gone and I was cleaning up.  No picture.

4.  Thursday was our first day of vacation.  I spent the better part of the day in town shopping.  I had a lot to accomplish.  I was delighted that the Putman's senior had invited us to dinner to celebrate with the family.  We had a great visit.

5.  Yesterday, I spent the most of the day wrapping the presents I bought on Thursday.  That was mixed with laundry, making out a grocery list, running to WalMart to buy the groceries, and preparing dinner.  Rhyne, Micah, and Ben came to eat with us last night.

6.  Today, I have spent most of  my time in the kitchen even though I have had a few other jobs.  I've roasted pecans for Bryan, made party mix for Collin, and made vegetable soup for supper.

I think I'm just about to wrap it up and call it a day.  I think relaxing in front of the tree and taking in a Christmas movie may be calling my name.  Only three days left until Christmas.
