Because I have a linen closet...


You guessed it. Ever since we've been married Braden has wanted a gun but in the past we haven't had much extra space. The response he always got from me was, "You don't get a gun until I have somewhere to keep my towels". Now that we're in our own house, and I have a place to keep my towels it was time. So I've been saving money every month from the grocery money so Braden wouldn't catch on. Hal did the research for me and picked the perfect gun-a Remington-something-or-other. We both took Braden to the Bass Pro Shop to get the gun! He was so surprised, delighted and I might add impressed that I saved the money without him even noticing! Christmas Magic!

Gingerbread House


One of Levi's favorite books right now is "The Gingerbread Baby" by Jan Brett. Grandma started reading it to him in October. He hardly could wait for December to come so he could make a gingerbread house. Early in December we spent a wonderful evening listening to Bing , eating gingerbread cookies and making the little house.
