Elf On The Shelf Christmas Fun

Elf On The Shelf 

Found Taylor in the dryer this morning! 

I think he thinks he is being helpful! 

But he sure is a mischievous little elf this year. 

Usually he isn't getting into places he shouldn't be. 

I may have to keep a close eye on him this year. 

At least he is always smiling!

Day 29 Something Sweet

Christmas Candy Cane Poem about Jesus
Look at the Candy Cane
What do you see?
Stripes that are red
Like the blood shed for me
White is for my Savior
Who’s sinless and pure!
“J” is for Jesus My Lord, that’s for sure!
Turn it around
And a staff you will see
Jesus my shepherd
Was born for Me!

Something I'm Thankful For:
The Christmas season as it is the time of year we celebrate the birth of our Savior. 
Though I think everyday we should celebrate our Savior. 
I love this time of year!

Day 28 Reflection

This was a tough one for me today. 

I was busy and didn't get out to try and find a great photo for today.

So it was pouring and had to sit and wait in the car for a bit. 

Then it came to me. 

The reflection in the rearview mirrors would do. 

So the rain....and me taking a photo. Kind of fun to be creative.

Something I'm thankful for:

That my review mirror is a great way to be reminded that reflection is great. 

That I don't need to dwell and stay there. 

The rearview mirror is where I've been not where I'm going. 

So I'm thankful for all the growth I've done, the people and places I've been. 

The memories made that I hold dear. 

That there is still more ahead waiting to be discovered and lived. 

Thankful for each day given as it turns into the rearview mirror.

Taylor found his way into the dishwasher this evening. 

He thought this was a great way to clean. 

Or maybe he thought he was being helpful. 

Told him the dishwasher was no place for an elf.

Not sure how Taylor managed to get himself on the ceiling fan. 

But here I come to the rescue. 

Crazy little elf finding himself in a spinning mess.

Day 27 Back In Time

A five year generation photo of my grandfather, mother, myself, my daughter Webber Heather, and her son Anthony DeSouza. 

This photo is very special in many ways. 

We are all first borns and you will notice the oldest is male as is the youngest. 

I thought that was rather unique. 

Something I'm Thankful For.
I love old photos that take me back and hold so many wonderful memories. 

I'm so thankful that my grandpa got to meet all three of my daughters and my first born grandson. 

I'm extremely thankful for this photo my mother had done so many years ago.

Taylor is having mouth and teeth issues. 

I think they are sympathy pains. 

He knows I had oral surgery today. 

Little stinker wants to be pampered. 

And all I want is ice cream.

Day 26 A Present I Received

The two nutcrackers I received as gifts about 18-19 years ago. 

From a friend who celebrates in glory. 

We went to the Nutcracker ballet together. She got these for me after. 

The electric fireplace was a gift last year to me. 

Both gifts warm me. 

One warms my heart while the other helps keep me warm.

Something I'm thankful for:
I'm thankful that I have seen the Nutcracker ballet several times. 

I have always been blessed to be able to go with friends and enjoy the beauty of the season and the Beautiful story of The Nutcracker. 

Thankful for friends. 

They are treasured gifts. 

Whether far or near they are never far from our heart.

One of my handsome fluffy snowmen. 

This one came from my daughter Amber Webber.

Something I'm thankful for:

SNOWMAN! 

Love my snowman collection and how it grows every year. 

The ones I find and those that family and friends add to my ever growing collection. 

How unique each one is. 

The smiles and pleasure each brings.

 I also love the collection I collect on Facebook as well. 

They bring a smile and warmth to my heart.

This beautiful table top Biblica that I was blessed with. 

It is extremely beautiful!

Something I'm thankful for:
For the word of God; and for those who put together studies and history of the bible. I appreciate the scholars as well as our Pastors and teachers that minster the word to us. I truly enjoy the books of study and mostly the written word of the Lord.

I so love trees and the color red!

Something I'm Thankful for:

For the beauty of the many different trees and plants that we have. The beautiful evergreen pines to the blossoming Crepe Myrtles and everything in between.

 

Look Who Arrived....Elf On The Shelf

Look who traveled all the way from the north pole to come spend the Christmas season with me. Annoying family and friends with his crazy antics.
