Things To Do

Guess Who's Coming To Town?

Have You Been Naughty or Nice?

It's Christmas Time!

The Christmas season has been real busy at The Little House. We have changed the way we celebrate Christmas here. We decided to keep things simpler and less hectic. I did all my shopping on line, I sent no Christmas cards (going green), I bagged all the gifts early, we have enjoyed all the decorations and lights, the parties have been fun and the Christmas plays have been wonderful. I love the Christmas music. I even made enough candy to make Willie Wonker throw up ~ So I really thought I had it all together....well guess what? NOT! In less than six days I have a house full of folks coming over for a day of celebration. I still need to do the food shopping and get everything prepared! Last night we got a foot of snow and today we are supposed to get another six inches or more! But I did get my hair done yesterday before the storm hit and it looks good! So how are your Holiday plans going?

The Grand Illumination

The Christmas lights are finally
on at The Little House!

A lot of hard work went into putting up
the outside lights. Yes....that is Coop Dville !

It only took weeks a couple of days for
me to get the Christmas tree decorated.
The lights kept blowing out!

But all good things
are worth waiting for!

I even lit a few candles for my
friend Stephany and her daughter.
Stop by and wish Stephany a
"Merry Christmas". Holidays are
not always happy times for all of
us and Stephany could use a hug
right now. Tell her I sent you.

Happy Friday and Merry Christmas everyone
from all of us at The Little House! Do you have
your Christmas tree up yet?

"Season's Readings"

Once again, this Holiday Season, I am excited to be collecting new and gently used books for some of the children at our local elementary school. Some of these children have never owned a book of their own. Every year I take some of my vacation time for this worthy cause. Last week I was able to collect 110 books. Every child who wants a book will get one.

Giving the gift of reading can change the life of a child. It can open doors and opportunities that will last a lifetime and hopefully make the world a better place.

This Holiday Season give the gift of reading to a child. Together we make a difference.

Repeat Performance!

Last year I was so proud when I posted this.

This year I continue to beam! Little T won his Classroom Spelling Bee, and will compete in two more Spelling Bees. One for the title of School Spelling Bee Champion on December 10th and the other on January 29th for title of Division-Wide Spelling Bee Champion. He's my boy and he really does make his mama proud!

A New Season

It's the beginning of the Christmas
Season here at The Little House.
Another season of celebration!

And remember all those leaves?

Whew! I'm sure glad that's over!
