I am feeling a huge sense of relief today since almost all of my Christmas chores have been finished! Yahoo!! My Christmas cards have been sent and I have all of our gifts wrapped--well, almost....I found the cutest wrapping ideas here: http://alittlehut.blogspot.com/2007/11/gift-tag-no1.html
and the labels are from here: http://paperseed.wordpress.com/2007/12/10/free-holiday-gift-tags/
Our stocking are hung....
and my little berry Christmas trees are finally finished--it wasn't too bad--only took about 3 years.......seriously...
.
and John Denver??? Well he makes his yearly appearance in our home--we never actually listen to him, but it's a good memory. On our first Christmas, I asked Jer to pick out some Christmas music at the store--he was by himself--and returned home with John Denver--I was thinking more along the lines of Frank Sinatra, but it makes for a funny story
Finally got all of my nieghbor gifts done...
And Santa was even able to arrive in the big red firetruck--in a blizzard. When he pulled in it was pretty bad, but by the time he got out and we ran to him we could hardly see anything! But, the kids got candycanes, so they were happy. And Kennedy's scared of Santa, so she was really happy---to wait in the car---
There's Jer (in blue) and Bridger (in red)--but I'm not complaining...I love a white Christmas!
The kids have been eating on their Christmas plates--every time Kennedy starts crying, Bridger sings: "you better not pout, you better not shout...." It's kind of funny, becuase Kennedy just gets mad :)
And here's our cute little Charlie Brown Christmas tree! I love how wispy it is--and it's our first real tree--we just might make it a yearly traditon (although the light thing is kind of a pain...)
And here is my Christmas quilt--I was able to finish it after Thanksgiving, so we have been enjoying it for a while. I love it!!! It's so pretty and soft--I might just keep it out all year long.
Oh, and here is when we actually bought the tree. Bridger wanted to help tie it to the roof, but he wasn't quite big enough, so instead he kept saying: "That looks great guys. I think this is going to work perfect. This looks good. Good job guys." and so on and so on...silly boy!

hey girl, your amazing. ya beat me, I always find the perfict wrapping paper but then by the time I get to the ribbon I don't care anymore.
Your's are so darling. Bridger is a killer. Have a very Merry Christmas.
Everything looks absolutely gorgeous! Your family is lucky to have such a creative mother and wife. I love the impish look on Bridger with his mac and cheese on his Christmas plate. Kennedy does look mad too. Your gifts are beautifully wrapped and your neighborhood gifts are scrumptiously delectable. Now you can enjoy Christmas. You are organized.
Wow! It looks great over there. I need to come take lessons! Sure miss you guys, maybe over the holidays we can get together and play for a bit. I missed out on Festival of Trees, I was in labor instead, but let's do it again next year ;)
You never cease to amaze me. Love you!
YOU KILL ME!! Everything looks fabulous!! I love your presents and your card and your tree and your little red trees and oh, your quilt?! Amazing. I would keep it out the rest of my life!! And please please explain what the crap is going on with Deputy Dawg's favorite phrase.....
I can't believe you made that Christmas quilt! That's amazing! It is beautiful. I had no idea you were so talented!
You are so talented! What photoshop program did you use for your cards (mine arrived yesterday, by the way!)I just love them.
Looks like you are having a fun and busy christmas season!! Love the cards and the Qulit and the Tree! So fun, you are so amazing!
Wish I could be more like you Martha... er...Lindsay. Can I come and just sit in your house and relax? Merry Christmas! ;)
I can't get over how talented you are!! Your cards were adorable and those neighbor gifts looked so cute!! Wish we still lived there so we could've gotten one!! =) And that quilt...oh my gosh!! I can't believe you made that!! It is so cute!! I wish you could teach me some of your talents! Hope you guys have a great Christmas...your last one in that house!! Your tree looks great also!
You just need to teach a class on all the stuff you do! Did you make those Christmas cards? I am getting photoshop for Christmas...come teach me how to use it!
Can you just do your own super saturday? I'll pay whatever.
I agree with all the comments above, you are so creative. I love your cherry trees, you should seriously think about teaching a craft class. Merry Christmas!
hey linds! i love your cards and you are so amazing! those candy canes turned out darling! i might have to do that next year! i also love the tree! i am glad you have bridger to make sure it get tied on correctly. i don't think jer could do it without him! let's get together in jan when we get back! oh and i totally love john denver! my parents used to listen to that when i was a kid and so i am a big fan!
Linds, You did a beautiful job on all the gifts. Maddie was baking cupcakes today in her apron and she found a place in the kitchen to hang our aprons, because according to Maddie it's too hard to grab them out of a drawer when your ready to cook. You are really talented. We are so lucky to have you in our family.
Oh my goodness, Bridger is so funny! I can totally see him saying all those cute things while you were tying on your tree! I love your tree too by the way. So pretty!
Oh, and I LOVE your cards too!
