…..or it will be gone!
I can't believe that we are a week away from Christmas.
I always think that I will do things differently each year….and each year I realize that it all went by so quickly.
I closed my shop earlier this year but I still was shipping out the last of the orders today.
I was also working on something today that has a deadline of tomorrow that I can't wait to share will all of you.
It is time to SLOW DOWN.
Time to be intentional each day of what we commit ourselves to…. to remember…REALLY remember why we are celebrating this amazing season in the first place!
We have had such a fun week of cookie making, ice skating with friends, playing the piano in the nursing home and all the secret creating and shopping.
We will be spending most of this weekend creating and wrapping.
On Sunday we are taking the children to see Little House on the Prairie and Melissa Gilbert plays Ma.
I think you all know how I feel about Pa deep down in my heart of hearts:-)

I love these pictures of you and your family celebrating this season! Merry Christmas to you, Jeanne!
Looks like you are drinking the season in! It’s been so much fun this year for us. Our kids are finally both old enough to grasp what’s going on and enjoy it with us.
And, ps, I feel pretty much the same way about Pa. I can’t believe you get to go see the show!
Those pics are sooo good:) You don’t look “puffy” to me at all;) Seriously, oh and your husband is HOT!! HA!
I wouldn’t be able to resist those cookies either… I LOVE sugar cookies.
Have a wonderful Christmas if I don’t talk to you. Enjoy those precious kiddos.
Sounds like you’ll be doing exactly what we all should be doing this time of year:) Have fun and enjoy! {Love the pictures}
I love all the pictures!! And I’m so happy to hear about all the fun and special things you and your family have been doing together. Can’t wait to see you all!!
Whoa – I think a blink is almost too LONG for how fast the time goes – It is CRAZY. Love all the fun you’ve been taking the time to do – I know that homeschooling provides for more TIME together!!
Have fun at the play!! PS – have I told you that your darling husband looks exactly like Pa??
xoxo

okay that’s another thing grandma jeanneoli~ I truly thought you thought pa was hot~ truly… You’ve GOT to be more clear! Little ol’ Jeanneoli and pa!
Jeanne~ I’m having the most wonderful christmas season and it’s only by the grace of God! Tomorrow we’re headed an hour away to zoo lights. That should be fun! Kettle corn here we come!

Loving those great family photos…you look great! I need to take your advice and slow down also. Merry Christmas to you!!
You are right…it is gone in the blink of an eye! Beautiful pictures and so glad you are taking it all in:)
“Pa” was indeed hot! Michael Landon was one good-looking man. But then, I see you’ve got one of those. Well, more than that! You’ve got sons too. And do I spy at least one with dimples? (I am a sucker for dimples.)
