Ingold Christmas

Last weekend we celebrated our Ingold Family Christmas. This year we decided to pack our bags and head to Columbus. Everything was wonderful! Thanks to Uncle John and all those who helped plan and organize everything. I didn't take time to take many pics, so I stole these from Joy's blog - Thanks Joy!

John got all the kids gift baskets and we had some pictures of Grandma and Grandpa Ingold. This is our first Christmas without Grandma...she is greatly missed!

Outside my window...The sun is shining, a few leaves still left on the trees, a beautiful day

I am thinking...Where did the week go?

I am thankful for...too many things to list...I am overwhelmed by God's blessings

From the kitchen...the kitchen is empty, kid's are going to maw-maw's tonight and I am meeting friends - B will be digging out left-overs. Sorry hon!

I am wearing...a maroon sweater I despise. I haven't worn it since last winter and I guess I forgot how much I don't like wearing it.

I am creating...our xmas lists...less than 50 days away...

I am going...to a tastefully simple party at Bonnie's tonight - Can't wait to see these girls, its been awhile!

I am reading...Beth Moore's Study of Esther=Intense!

I am hoping...for a beautiful weekend to rest and rejuvinate with the fam

I am hearing...95.5 The Fish...

Around the house...toys toys and more toys....and to think I'm working on Xmas lists, lol

One of my favorite things...hearing Dylan sing "Jesus Loves Me" and say "I love you for-ebber and ebber and ebber"

A few plans for the rest of the week: Sandy Arner's Wedding Saturday and B is heading to Cbus to see Pickerington in the playoffs - GO JUSTIN!!!

Here is picture for thought I am sharing...mommy's favorite moments

Best Chili goes to entry #10 - The Cowgills!

The kids were having fun with the pinata, but we had to improvise after the hook to hang it from broke!
