I love this time of year with all the lights, festive attitudes, and gratitudes.
First, as you know, Tatum is in Winter Wonder this year. She is so busy going to practices, but it sure is paying off! Whenever we greet at church, they recognize her and tell her how lovely she is. We get more out of greeting than they get, I think! I love loving on people Sunday mornings!
One of the couples who we see weekly wanted to give Tatum a gift. Now this was not just any gift! She made this when she was a little girl due to her love of horses. Tina and Tommy were so kind to give it to Tot.
WOW!!!!
She brought it home and we had to find a place to put it.
She made this wonderful THANK YOU
So this made us rearrange her bedroom. AND, this made me want to get her a desk. In the meantime, we repurposed this table and moved her other dollhouse into the art room. Now she has her own little space. She stocked her desk full of supplies and reading material.
She is growing up! Desks make you feel so mature. And studious!
Meanwhile, in the front yard, Doug is decorating! He allowed me to get this Nativity scene, and I couldn’t be more excited.
Look at it lit up!
I love the mini palm tree….and the lighting.
Look at the whole house lit up! What a delight, literally.
THE JOY!
We also had a little surprise for TOT this year. HER VERY OWN CHRISTMAS TREE to decorate and build memories from.
Each year we’ll buy her an ornament so she’ll have wonderful memories.
Let’s put the first two on.
Merry Christmas, my little angel.
It’s going to be a Jesus-focused, lit up brightly Christmas.
Stay tuned for more to come.
