It's A Crazy Wonderful Life on Calico Creek: Blogging Backward

Where do I start to catch up! I lost complete control on my blogging during the last quarter of 2012! Part of the reason is my work. Starting on October 31, I began decorating for Christmas for all my clients. For the next six weeks I was staring at garland, balls, trees, ribbon, mesh and everything else that is Christmas related everyday of the week. I do love my work, but during the holidays it gets a little crazy.

Maybe I will blog backward...starting with today and ending up in October!:) Today I am at the cabin soaking up some down time, which is very much needed, after the busy holidays! I have not showered or gotten out of my pjs all day! If you know me very well that never happens. Part of the reason is God blessed us with a white Christmas, something else that never happens in Arkansas, except on rare occasions. So combine cabin with snow and family and you end up with a perfect day for staying in your pjs. We have eaten too much, played in the snow, played lots of games and laid around all day! I could use about a week of this...but all good things must come to an end so tomorrow we will head back home!:(

Part of the reason we are going back is my sweet daughter Natalie. She and Ben could not come with us to the cabin because Ben has been so sick. And I do mean sick...with the worst case of the flu. He has been running a high fever for 7 days, has been to the doctor twice, and is now throwing up and very nauseated. It has been a very difficult Christmas for them. We are praying he is better soon. We took his presents over to him yesterday! Hopefully, he will get to enjoy them soon!

Our Christmas has been wonderful other than we really missed Ben getting to celebrate with us and we didn't get to go to my moms and celebrate with my family because of the weather. The roads were very icy on Christmas day so we only made it to the cabin. I have enjoyed every moment celebrating the birth of our Savior Jesus Christ. It is hard to grasp God loving us so much that He sent His Son to die for us. Thank you God for the gift of salvation and forgiveness.

Well I must get in the shower before going to bed!:) So I will leave you with a few photos.
