Holiday Happenings

"It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas..."  Not only do we finally have the tree up and the house decorated, but we have also had snow for the past 3 days.  It is not enough to make a difference, but it is snow.  It has been bitterly cold here since Saturday, and the weather people say it will be cold for awhile now.  We have been busy since Thanksgiving getting everything ready for the holidays.  Here's whats happening at our place:

*Daddy and John put new windows into Gracie's bedroom...PTL!  They were MUCH needed.

*We have the guest bedroom cleaned out and ready to become an art studio / playroom.

*John is still taking boxing classes and doing well.

*Gracie is working on her speech for 4-H.  I think she is writing about soccer, but the topic changes often.  :)

*Gracie will compete in the county spelling bee next week, and she is performing in "I'll Be Home for Christmas" town celebration this weekend at the city library.   

*I have completed 9 Christmas ornaments and tote bags for the Girl Scouts.  I am now working on a scrap book for Gracie.
