Hoopla

My friend Beth tagged me. So, here are 12 random things about me that relate to Christmas:

1. I love baking Christmas goodies. This year I did not get to do this because we were on vacation and it is killing me so I just might have to do it after Christmas and the people at work will just have to deal with it:)

2. I LOVE Christmas decorations mostly outside but inside also. I have not had a decorated house in about 4 years now just had alot going on for whatever reasons and I miss the decorations.

3. I look forward to going and looking at Christmas lights we always go out and get Starbucks and drive around for about an hour or so looking at lights.

4. I love Christmas music. I love to sing it and list to it:) Right there with ya on this one Beth! My coworkers can not wait tell Christmas is over:(

5. I love shopping for my family and friends. I shop all year around and get last minute things at Christmas but I love getting things specially for my newphews very fun to shop for kids!

6. I love getting Christmas cards!!

7. I LOVE shopping the day after Christmas. I try not to go into a store the month of December tell the day after Christmas.

8. I love watching Christmas specials. My favorite it Charlie Brown. I watched the Sponge Bob one and it was really cool!

9. I love receiving boxes from friends that live miles and miles away:)

10. I like Christmas clothing. Special PJ's.

11. I love peppermint white mochas at Christmas time only. It is just something special, that I look forward too.

12. I love watching Christmas through the eyes of my children. We were driving somewhere the other night and I was pointing out Christmas lights to Collin. He told me that he was just so excited. It was so cute to hear him say that!!So, there you have it. I would have to agree with you on this Beth even though I do not have children I can only imagine that this is what IT is ALL about:)

Now I tag I do not know anyone else that has a blog??? But I did it for you Beth!

Home






ok so we are home:) It was a wonderful trip we all had a great time. Mom is sick but I think that she just got a cold and is extremely tired. She is really not use to doing that much and being that active. Doreen did good but she got really tired also specially toward the end of the trip. Me I am fine, tired but ok. It was a wonderful get away and had a lot of fun on the way down to Disneyland as well as in Disneyland.




I will post several pictures within the next couple of days and let you all know what they are and the experience that went with them. This first one is It's a Small World all in lights for Christmas it was an amazing sight! I can not even explain how beautiful it was the lights on it were so bright.

This is the castle all lit up with Christmas lights it looks like there is ice on it. Wonderful sight again.



This is the Christmas tree that is on Main Street. It is huge and real. The only fact I remember is that the star on top which I cut off is 4 feet hight itself. All real ornimants. It is an awesome sight.

Finally it is Here

So we are leaving for our trip tomorrow around noonish! We will be gone tell the 17th. I am really happy it is finally here I need a break. As alot of you know the company I work for is moving this weekend and I have been working alot of hours trying to get ready for the move and try and get my desk ready for me to set up and be able to know that when I get back I will only have a little to unpack. I worked from 6:30 am tell 5:15pm with about 30min break total today and I did not eat lunch. Very tired, because then I had to come home and pack because I have been putting that off because I do not have enough close to have packed and still have some to have worn to work.

Ok so I just wanted to let everyone know that I will be having a great time in Disneyland and if anyone needs me call my cell:)

I will make sure to post pictures and let everyone know when we are home:)
