Well....finally got all the Christmas cards stuffed and addressed, and plan on taking them to the Post Office today! YEA! It took forever! I am sending out 82 cards this year! WoW! Kind of alot! Not sure if I will get 82 cards back, but I was excited to mail out the picture cards that we had made up this year with our "Bug" on them. We used the pictures from our Family Photos this year. They turned out GREAT!

Bryan made another "Nugent Christmas Music CD" this year and our family got copies of the CD to play in their cars or home during the holidays. He picked some fun music. Some of the songs I had never heard before but they sound like they will become my holiday favorites very quickly.

Here is a picture of my Sister's Baby Shower gift as promised. It is only a picture of the bag and after Dec. 16th there will be a picture of the insides that I already took....but in the mean time....you can all try to guess what it is if you want.


My Sister emailed me yesturday and she said that she received the package on Saturday and the bad is sitting under her Christmas Tree waiting to be opened at the Shower. She says that she did not peak....LOL!

On November 26th I put up our NEW 7 foot Christmas Tree (pre-lit). It was HEAVY! But looks sooooo good compared to our little sad Christmas Tree that we have had for over 10 years! Wow 10 years! I had not realized it was that old. No wonder it looked so sad.

Spencer was in the spirit and decided that the New Tree needed to be decorated right away. He put "Jenny" in the branches.

Then later that week he decided that the Tree was funny and kept putting his face into the branches and then laughing....I could only get a clear picture of him laughing. He was so funny.


Could not seem to upload a single picture here....so look below for the Picture Slide Show for the Nativity Picture I am writing about here....

Here is a picture of him playing with the Nativity that his Oma made for him a few years back before he was born. He loves to play with the Baby Jesus. I found him carrying "Baby Jesus" around in the Manger and he set it on the Dinning Room Table where it would be safe...I guess. All the other pleople get thrown around and stepped on....but not "Baby Jesus". I have even found him next to the TV in the Entertainment Hutch on the shelf. I guess the "Bug" just wants to keep him safe...and allow him to enjoy watching Blues Clues too! LOL!

Look below at the Slide Show for this picture....

Lastly....I finally put out the Christmas Decorations. I got the tree Decorated. And some of our other Decorations put up. I couldn't put out to much this year because the "Bug" likes to get into things. It is simple this year and I like it. Not to much...just right.

We offically got our first Christmas card!!!! And the Winner is (as my friend MaryRuth said in her Blog Post a few days back when she got her first Christmas Card). My Sister Jenny and her Husband Bryan. Inside was a picture of their dog Gertie dressed in a Santa outfit! Soooooo cute and soooooo funny. I showed it to the Bug and he just let out a laugh.

ok...think that will be it for today. Enjoy the weather you might have.....we are COLD BABY!

The thought of preterm labor lit a fire under me and I got my cards done fast this year! *L* Glad Spencer likes the picture of Gerdie. I'll send you all 3 pictures that we took.
Love ya,
Jenn & Tots
P.S. My shower gift bag looks better in your pictures...when it arrived the bag was pretty beat up, crushed, and a little torn, and the paper is pretty much balled up. *LMAO*
