As I lay here wide awake I realized I haven’t blogged for the last two nights. That’s a first since I started blogging daily back in July. We’ve had a house full of sicklies for the last few days and at this point out of the seven folks that live in this house Buggie is the only one that hasn’t been struck with it. Praying she stays that way because she has some very exciting days ahead of her! On a positive note we managed to get our Christmas trees decorated (our family one up in the game room & our lil saints tree downstairs), all of our other inside Christmas deco up, Christmas cards are close to being ready to make it to the post office, and our elf on the shelf “Gin” (like my maw-maw’s nickname, short for Virginia) has finally arrived! Can’t wait to see what mischievous things she will have up her sleeve this year! The girls loved all of her antics last year and were very excited about the special gift she arrived with this morning. A book all about baby Jesus and the meaning of Christmas.
