Year in Photos

One of the things I absolutely LOVE about blogging is having a chance to review what you've done the past year. Sometimes I think I lead a very boring life, but then when I look back I remember all the fun I've had. 

Here is a glimpse of my 2014 year in Photo's - compliments from Google+

Brady's Christmas Tree 2014

Brady received his Christmas tree and packages in the mail today. He sent me the picture above to show me how fun it is all set up. I ordered the 4 1/2 foot tree off of Amazon, and am glad to see how cute it is without additional decorations.

He loves having a Christmas tree, which really makes me happy. He's never wanted one before, but since we are spending Christmas with him this year I insisted that he needed one.

I can't wait until Christmas day when we arrive. It's going to be a grand Christmas with all my children. It's been a few years since that has happened. I cherish those moments when we can all be together with all our busy schedules and the different States we live in.

Happy 12/13/14

Today is one of those fun consecutive dates. Do you feel lucky?

We've been enjoying a nice holiday season. Decorations are up, shopping is done and packages are wrapped and under the tree or shipped. I've never been this organized - ever. 

It's a nice feeling to not have any worries and know that I am ready for Christmas day. I'm enjoying the holidays much more without stress. I'm loving 2014 holiday season. Are you?

Wishing you a wonderful lucky day! 

Today represents the last sequential calendar date for at least 20 years January 2, 2034 - 1/2/34) and another 89 years for January 2, 2103 - 1/2/3.

Outside Christmas Lights 2014

 I finished my Christmas decorating today!!! Hooray!

I finally had the time and the weather wasn't too bad to get my Christmas lights up.
For a couple of years I've had my lights attached to the garland I string around my house. 

I changed all the lights on the garland this year. To get all the previous lights off the garland, I just grabbed my pliers and cut away at them, until it was all removed. While I was cutting off the lights, I also fluffed the garland boughs. 

The new lights actually came from my old tree decorations. I bought a new pre-lit Christmas tree this year, so I have a ton of multi-colored lights which I used on the garland. It's nice to recycle them and not have to purchase anything new. 
 I love the new lights. All of the colors look brighter and every light strand works - which is a huge plus. 
A glowing picture of my Christmas Garland.

I love that it looks very festive in the daytime and the nighttime. 

It's nice to have it done and now I can just sit back for the rest of the month and enjoy the season.

I also have ALL of my Christmas shopping done. I think that is a first. I haven't wrapped a thing yet. But, after it is wrapped, I will ship most of it to Salt Lake City, because we will be spending Christmas there this year with my youngest son Brady. 

Merry Christmas Everyone!
