Joy to the World

I know, its been FOREVER since my last post. I couldn't find where our camcorders cord that connected to the computer so I could download pictures. I finally found it. I dont think I am the best blogger though, I read everyone elses and think... does mine even sound that interesting? haha. To be honest, I'm horrible with taking pictures. But these were worth sharing!! Jeff made these blocks that say Joy, I came home and they were sitting on our DVD case. I LOVE them! :o) He did an awesome job! he cut up boards of wood, painted them, made the sides all framed and then put vinyl on them, and curled up the wire in the back to connect them. How awesome!!!



Here is our 8 foot tree I bought at a yardsale earlier this year for $60 bucks! :) it was well worth it. Heavy and huge and difficult, but I love it.
I just liked the angle of this picture
My first Nativity scene. Thank you momma Julie for buying us this!!! I loove it
Closer picture, look at the detail! so cute!
tall tree
Sighs, Coah cant seek to keep herself away from the tree. kind of part of the reason for the stool under it, she steps on to the branch and tries to climb up. and she eats it! Naughty kitty!
:o) I love these, they say Cherish, Hope, Joy, Love, Peace. light glows through them at an angle and you can put candles in them so they glow more.
Jeff bought this awesome table at overstock while back and we found this perfect center piece, for christmas as well as the rest of the year :)
My sad looking penguin, but I still love him :)

My mom gave me a lot of decorations, thanks mom!!! Helps me out soo much!
This poor guy used to light up, it was really cool. I remember him ever since I was little. My mom gave him to me. he worked the past two years I had them. I turned it on and it worked for a few mins then stopped working. either the bulbs are dead, or he decided to stop working :(
ah, and my christmas tree forest I found at another yardsale. Thanks to my mother in law, Julie, I am going to be going to more yardsales to find more treasures for dirt cheap. $15 for these three. I looked at Tai Pan the other day, and they sold these for $30 each almost. I think I got a good deal. Oh and my 8 ft tree, could cost aprox $400 or so! eek.


:o) well here's my first post in MONTHS! and with pictures.

Wow Jeff!!!!! WoW Cailey. The house looks so great. How cozy and festive. I love the blocks. Good job. I also can't believe you got that tree for just 60 dollars. Jenny's cats climb her tree too. That's so funny (or not). We miss you. Merry Christmas.
