I am having so much fun right now! I love to be creative!! I am using my talents with photo projects! Unfortunately, (for Christopher's bank account) I received many coupons for mouse pads, photo books, an 8 X 10 canvas print...and of course my Christmas cards that I just ADORE!!! I truly love Christmas time. I cannot wait for my bratty husband to bring in all my goodies to decorate the house with! I have been good this year too....and have not bought anything new....well, except my kids ornaments! We will be grateful for all that we have this year. Hopefully, next year...money will be flowing a little more freely and then we can buy some new Christmas decorations! This year was the true test of my will power! I usually do the whole Black Friday shopping thing! I clip all the sale ads....paste them on paper and plan the next 6 hours out! 
But, I didn't get to go this year. (a little tear drops) I know it was for the best though...I tend to spend ALOT on that day. And really, we don't need ANYTHING!!! I do feel way more prepared this year than I usually do! All of the kids are done!! Believe me, with 5 kids...that is a blessing in itself! =) We try to be equal with the kids...but, that is so hard with Madyson! Seriously, I could buy her the whole store!! Girls are just more fun to buy for, I guess!! Anyways, our thanksgiving was terrific!! We love getting all dressed up and taking our Christmas picture!! Dinner was yummy as usual! I will be cooking my first Christmas dinner this year. We are going to do the traditional turkey....which I have only cooked once before! But, that came out GREAT!!! So, I am excited about it!! Wish me luck!! Have a stupendous night!!
