This still melts my heart


Hayden fell asleep on my chest this morning while I was on the computer (which by the way has like 30 viruses on it---I'm not kidding!!). It is so sweet when they are sleeping on you.

p.s.---I promise Christmas "highlights" to come soon, but with the computer problems, I haven't been able to do much. But keep checking!

To better enjoy the video you may wish to turn my "Christmas Music" off in the red box on the right column. The "stop" button is in the top left hand corner of the red box.

Youth Presentation at Church

Yesterday, we had our Christmas service at church and the younger kids did a program and the youth did a presentation. We may have a small church and a small youth group but they are very dedicated to the Lord. They care about each other and pray for each other and are a very close to each other. They practiced very hard on this presentation that our youth leader Adrian directed. The first boy is a friend of Conner's that he has gone to school with since Kindergarten . We have prayed for his and his father's salvation probably since we met them! Since October, we have gotten to see he and his dad accept Jesus as their Savior! Praise the Lord!! The second boy that comes out is Conner and since the video is not the greatest, I will explain what he is doing. After he walks up to the front, he starts swinging his arm around and around. He is pretending to have a sling to knock the giant down. The music is "Voice of Truth" by Casting Crowns.

I hope you enjoy it. I will post Mari Cate's video this afternoon.
Oh, yeah, you will probably want to turn the music player off, to hear the music.

A VERY Quick Giveaway--Don't wait!!


I was given the opportunity by MomSelect to review the new new holiday storybook, "Holly and Hal Moose: Our Uplifting Christmas Adventure" from Build-A-Bear Workshop. The story is a very sweet story of how Holly and Hal Moose help Santa after they think Christmas might have to be cancelled. It is a great story about working together and helping someone else.

Right now you can buy Holly and Hal Moose™ together for only $24 and get their storybook for free ($15.99 value, while quantities last). Or you can buy them individually for just $12 each. Check them out at a Build-A-Bear Workshop near you or go here to find them online. Holly and Hal Moose even have a website that you and your child can check out. I can't wait for Mari Cate to check it out, too!!

Now for the really good stuff!! They also gave me a $10 Build-A-Bear Workshop Gift Card with it's own little "Cub Condo" to give away to one of my readers!! How cool! I want to be able to get this in the mail by Saturday morning, in hopes that you get it before Christmas and can possibly give it to a special child in your life! So I will be picking a winner on Friday, December 19th, through a random number generator. You will have until NOON on Friday, December 19th to enter. I will announce the winner tomorrow afternoon on my blog and with an email to the winner.
So here is how to enter: Leave me a comment on this post and just for fun tell me something special you are doing for someone else this Christmas.
Good Luck!!
