It's beginning to....

....look alot like Christmas!

My grandmother has been on the hunt for a tree for Abby's room, and she picked this one up for us at WalMart.

So, Ab & I headed to Hobby Lobby to find some cuteness for it!
They didn't have alot in the colors that we were looking for (very picked over - but what can I expect? It's just 7 1/2 days til Christmas!) so we improvised with the frosted glass balls and some of the super cute "non-Christmasy" things that we found.

Sequins, sparkles, and zebra print just SCREAM Christmas, don't they?

We also stopped by Target, which is where the hot pink snowflakes came from.

This is my new front door "happy" - $1 ornaments from WalMart + a passed down wreath! I love a bargain!!

I hope your families have a fantastic, healthy, fun-filled Christmas!!

This is an "out take" from my attempts to make her smile.....I absolutely LOVE this picture of her!!

Cousin Sam gave Abby these footed pj's....she has been dying for a pair!

At our churchs' parents afternoon out, the kids made these sweet little baby Jesus, Mary and Joseph figures.

Not that I have many readers (maybe 2 per month, thanks Pam & Danielle!)....but I thought I would let y'all know what I've been up to seeing as I obviously haven't been blogging!

Reminiscing...

Who says you can't multitask?!?

This is a test....

Okay folks - I am totally over the fact that I haven't had any comments in over what feels like 10 yrs! Unless I hear from some of you over the weekend, I am done with this blog!

Seriously - how hard is it to write a 1 sentence comment? If no one comments on this - I know that nobody is reading anymore - so why waste my time?

Sincerely,

Best ? I've heard in a long time

I never watch the videos that people link to on facebook, but since multiple friends recommended it, I thought "Why not?".

It was a woman named Gianna who survived a saline abortion, and WOW! what a testimony she has! She is now 33 yrs old and has cerebral palsy because of the lack of oxygen during the attempted abortion. She apparently has done lots of speaking to political groups across the world, in hopes of convincing people to stop abortions.

Specifically speaking to the men in the audience, she asked this simple question: "Will you obsess over your own glory, or will you become obsessed with God's glory?"

It's amazing to me what He uses to minister to us. Oh, and to top it all off - do you know what the origin/meaning of Gianna is? It's a form of Giovanna which means "God's grace". Hmm!
