Parker's First Visit with Santa

Benton's parents took Parker to meet Santa last Saturday in Wichita Falls. He wasn't scared of Santa and looks so grown up!

We plan to take him to see Santa on Sunday for the TCU Alumni cookies with Santa in Dallas, so stay tuned for more cute pics!

Day 30 of Thanks

I'm thankful that my 30 days are over and I successfully posted 30 different gratitudes!

Now I'm ready to share some Christmas cheer with you for my December posts. I have my nutcrackers on the mantle, garland hung, stockings hung, the tree is up without ornaments, and only one side of the porch has lights outside. I WILL have all of my Christmas up and presentable by Friday since we're hosting Benton's work crew for their holiday gathering - nothing like a deadline for a perfectionist procrastinator!

Day 29 of Thanks

I'm thankful for radio stations that start playing only Christmas music 24/7 starting in November. In DFW, 103.7, has been spreading holiday cheer for the last few weeks. I think they must really like Feliz Navidad because I hear it everytime I'm in the car. Not a problem though, since it makes me happy to think of a Christmas vacation in a Spanish-speaking country. Costa Rica perhaps? :)

Day 28 of Thanks

I'm thankful for finding deals and not paying full price - I love bargains and sales on already marked down items!

I ordered my Christmas cards this weekend and I got such a great deal. I designed my own collage using Picasa with my top pictures of Parker. Then I used Vistaprint.com to design the cards with my own font, colors, message, etc. I got all of my cards with shipping for less than $25! I'll post the pictures after they've been delivered.

I highly recommend Vista print. They are mainly an online printing service for small businesses, but they have all of the same templates for cards that snapfish, tiny prints, etc. uses. And no, I will not receive any compensation for this endorsement!

Meeting Gran

Day 27 of Thanks

I know I'm behind, but here goes. I'm thankful for my grandmothers - Peggy Nunn Hill (Nana) and Dorothy Perry Hunter (Gran). Both live in Wichita Falls, and it's been hard to coordinate more frequent visits with them since Parker came along. Parker has seen Nana a couple of times and we went with her to Casa Manana earlier in November.

We took Parker to meet Gran for the first time last Friday. The pictures aren't great, but P smiled, laughed, and giggled for Gran. He liked her dog, Little Ben, and he was ready to crawl and stand all over her house. Gran loved his hair, how alert his eyes were, and how his whole face lights up when he smiles. Great-grandmothers are always right aren't they?

I'll post the pictures next - I forgot to save them to my phone first!

Day 26 of Thanks

Today I'm thankful for memories made with best friends - the kind of friends you can spend months apart and pick right up where you left off. AND for grandparents that willingly babysit por gratis...
