Christmas is almost here

 I have been madly making bags for the family.  I claim it is to be 'green' and not kill all those trees but actually, I just don't want to sit and wrap all those small presents.  So, this year, I added an Elmer Bag (for the adults) a Harward Bag and a Porter Bag (Brad and Jessica).  I think they are cute.
 Three or four years ago, I started this with bags for the grandkids.  They love the idea and since it is a hit with them, everyone is getting them.
 New Tradition this year:  I have decorated the tree with kids movies!  The grandkids can pick one off each evening to watch together (yes, I am hoping for a little quiet time). 
Me and my BFF.  I love this girl.  This is before church on Sunday.  She is the absolute best teenager I know.  I am so very grateful for her.

This cute picture is from Thanksgiving.  My sister was there so this picture is my 9 grandkids and my two nieces.

Speaking of nieces, I got to go to Ohio in November to be with my sister when she had her new baby, Ashlyn.  They are coming for Christmas so hopefully I will get to hold her lots!!
