My Hubby ROCKS! White Christmas after all!

 

White Christmas has been located!!!
Hubby found it in the storage building and dug it out.
It is one of his favorites:)
Its the ONLY white Christmas I care to see this year:)
{There is a reason I live in East Texas-and it ain't for the snow;}

We have a 'date' to snuggle on the couch, scarf on popcorn and dream with Bing!
MY HUBBY ROCKS!!

Join KatyLin at for more "My Husband Rocks!"
Prompt from Katylin:
"This Christmas, give your spouse something eternal - a gift of affirmation:
Write your husband a letter that details (very specifically and genuinely) why you respect him."
What a great idea!
I respect his desire to provide care for his family.
This shows in his choices and actions.
I respect his love for his children.
I respect his love for me.
I respect his intelligence, and humor, his heart.
Most of all, I respect the confidence I have in him, in us:)
Together, we are, literally e-t-e-r-n-a-l:)

Christmas treasures: pt 4

What I enjoy, what makes me smile?
FROGS! (and purple)
So when I saw purple garland, I knew it would go great with my singing Santa frog, and bell ringing Santa: (no, its not realistic, neither is a singing Santa frog, or SANTA for that matter:)

 

My mom gave me a frog each Christmas, so I wired them to a wreath where I can really enjoy them (see the mistle-toad, and frog angels?), little girl doll is from a dear cousin (love dollies too), Mr. and Mrs. Claus from an Uncle (poor Santa has lost his eye)

 

Frogs on the tree:

bottom left: Tiny frog, er, I mean kitten (BAD KITTY)
bottom right: Mistle-toad

 

If your feeling froggy-JUMP:)

Son-Day: Away In A Manger

Away in a Manger

Away in a manger, no crib for his bed,
The little Lord Jesus laid down his sweet head;
The stars in the heavens looked down where he lay,
The little Lord Jesus, asleep on the hay.


2. The cattle are lowing; the poor baby wakes,
But little Lord Jesus, no crying he makes.
I love thee, Lord Jesus; look down from the sky
And stay by my cradle till morning is nigh.


Be near me, Lord Jesus; I ask thee to stay
Close by me forever, and love me, I pray.
Bless all the dear children in thy tender care,
And fit us for heaven to live with thee there.

Such a beautiful song, such beautiful art, such a beautiful gift!
Thank You Father for the plan
Thank You Father for the Son
Thank You Father for the LOVE!
