Fa la la la lah...la la la lah...




That is one of my favorite Christmas pictures of Jason. It was taken last year and it is so cute. (He looks a little more comfortable in it than the one of him on the left sitting in Santa's lap)

Gosh, just look around the room! It looks like Santa and the elves threw up in here. Gift bags, presents, a tree that looks like it was designed with barbie in mind, homemade cookies, Christmas Cards still not mailed. A ridiculous Christmas newsletter that should be tossed. I'm not ready but here it comes anyway. Christmas is right around the corner and I have almost made it though another Christmas without my best friend at my side. Okay, well I know he IS actually there but he can't help.

I am flying to New Orleans on Christmas Day to celebrate with some of the kids. I will see Ryan, Angie and the girls on Christmas night and then off to Hammond to meet up with Jason, Mandy, and Fe'de on the 26th, then Keri and the boys will come after me on Saturday and I will be there until Sunday or Monday. Then, both girls and their families (minus Ryan) ;-( will drive me back home and stay a few days in Arkansas. We will really miss Ricky and Beth and Bradley and Ella this year!! Hopefully we can get it together next year and at least make it back to our beach in November. I am so thankful for the times we get to spend together as family. It is such a wonderful family...I am so blessed!

My heart and prayers go out to Angie's friend's family that just lost their loved one. It is hard...really really hard but they will make it in time with God's help and loving family and friends.

Merry Christmas to you all!
Have a Blessed Holiday and stay safe.
