    All my babies are currently playing hide and go seek all over the house so I'm taking a moment to blog.  Then I am immediately getting up and sewing!  I bought myself some fabric today and a pattern for a new outfit.

    Christmas LAST year was such a blessing!  Of course many already know my dear hubby had lost his job and finances were extremely tight for Christmas this year.  I was so upset and then the Lord just worked everything out according to his plan and this was the best Christmas ever.  We couldn't buy gifts for family members so I made fleece blankets for everyone and they were a huge hit with everyone!  Each of our children received 2 gifts from mommy and daddy and they were thrilled and played and played with their toys. 

    Christmas Eve morning was spent with my husbands mom and family and it was alot of fun and fellowship with family. 

     Christmas Eve night as tradition in my family we all including my brother and Kim stayed the night at my parent's house.  We played catch phrase and ate snacks until 2 in the morning!  What fun!  Then everyone went to bed except Kim, myself, and my mom we (Kim and I) waited for David to go to sleep (my brother) once he was asleep we spraypainted his hair red and green and covered him in silly string.  It was hilarious!  He woke up and realized that we had covered him in silly string but never knew we sprayed his hair until he got up and looked in the mirror! 

    Christmas morning was with my parents and we went home around 4pm in the afternoon for Christmas with our children.  Of course in between that my brother and sister in love gave me and my hubby a new couch and chair!  We were so surprised and blessed!  We needed it so badly and it's beautiful and so comfy. 

    We had many other things that we did at christmas, Christmas at my grandmas, Christmas with hubby's grandma, Christmas at church, Christmas with his dad, and Christmas with my mom's family.  All was wonderful but yet very busy especially for a family of 7!

    I leave you with pictures, until next time....
