Snow much fun...lol

All we need sometimes is a good old fashioned snow ball fight to bring great smiles to little boy faces!

Eating snow (not the yellow kind-ewww) brings some good smiles too!

Do you hear what I hear?

I just want to wish everyone a wonderful Christmas!

Hold on to these fleeting moments of the magic and joy that only a child

experiences with Christmas. It is such a wonderful time of year!

I am so blessed with my family and friends, and I am so lucky that my boys understand that Christmas is not just about gifts, but about the gift of Christ!

Only 10 more days until Christmas!

Can you believe we are only 10 days away from Christmas?!?!

Bring on the hustle and bustle of the season!

Decking the Halls....and a field trip

I am still trying to get some Christmas decor up and around our home, and it is feeling more and more like the hoidays around here. I love all of the lights and just festive atmosphere. Even the boys had some fun putting on their Santa hats and joining in.




This is one of DCWV's rub ons that I purchased last year after Christmas for like $2. You just can't beat a good deal like that. I am really liking it on our mantel.

Gabe had his first field trip today, and I was so happy that I was able to chaperone! My mom kept Graedon for me so that I was able to ride the bus with Gabe and just focus my attention on him and his day.

First, we made a stop at Big Lots (loooooove that store) for the kids to purchase a gift for a child in their class for the Christmas party next week. Then we headed to the library where the received their very own library cards and had a great lady read a few Christmas stories to them. Very fun. I really loved the peppermint song she sang with them.

We loaded back up on the bus and headed to the mall for some lunch at the food court and then off to visit Santa.

Here is Gabe with his buddy for the day, Nate.

The boys really enjoyed each other's company. Boys are so silly!

Here is Gabe with his cousin Taylor who is in the other Kindergarten class that was on the trip as well. Her buddy for the day was a little girl name Madison.

I had a great day with my bud Gabe. I am so blessed to be able to enjoy these times with him!

Stephanie's Story

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas!

The red totes are out in the house.

Christmas decor is awaiting to find its place in the house.

Glitter and tree needles cover the floor.

Christmas music has been filling the air.

It's Christmastime at the Killion household!

(Can you see my decorating helping in the reflection?)

Is it really December 1st already?

Where did November go?

Seriously, our tree is up, and the rest of our Christmas decorations are making their rounds around the house.

December just snuck up on me, tapped me on the shoulder and startled me!

I'm already behind!

How is it possibly December 1st already?
