Clark Family Dinner

Christmas Dinner at Jim and Judy's. Happy people that I love. We are missing Steve and Jeff.

Goodness radiates from these two!

What a happy Christmas!

Happy Birthday Millie!

Millie Happy Birthday! You are 4 years old and so beautiful! There happens to be a little flash of light on your face. Could is be a fairy flashing by?

Look at those gorgeous eyes and long lashes. How is that fancy jeep you and Maizie are riding around? Does she let you have a turn being the driver? Hope I get to see you on your mom's blog with your Lady Ga Ga too too on.
Millie, I think this is a real fairy house. Isn't it amazing! There is a light shinning on the left side. Maybe it is the same fairy that was flashing across your face. I will keep my eyes out for more Wallsburg Fairies and Fairy Houses. When I see them I will send pictures to you. I like your doll's name and I love you. Happy Birthday Sweet Girl! XOXOXO

Today is Christmas

* The sky is starting to lighten. I haven't been able to sleep all night, so excited, so many things to remember. Can you see the pride in this littlest angel as he holds the Christ Child while Mary sleeps? I love the little manger that Grandpa made with the new born baby in it. It always brings Christmas to my heart! I am sure Santa made it to all of your houses, because you are the NICEST children I know. Kids give your Moms and Dads a great big hug and tell them Thank You for helping you celebrate a fabulous Christmas all month long. I love you all head to toe. Merry, Merry Christmas! Naps anyone?

Santa

I have always loved this drawing of Santa. But I think he would have a hard time keeping those candles lit as he blows through the sky on his Christmas Eve Journey. Abbie, do you believe like Grandma does? I think so! Katie the snow is so deep are you making snow huts? It almost Christmas Eve! Dax and Jace are you being kind and helpful to your Mom? Oh, be good everyone. I can hardly wait!

No sleeping yet Santa

I think Santa is a little like Grandpa. He is trying to sneak a nap sitting up. Lucky for us his ever ready elfs are there to wake him up. Only four more days Santa, then you can have a nice long snooze. We are waiting and hoping. Shawn, there is so much snow, I think Santa will have a soft landing on your roof. Dax, Jace, and Grady I bet Santa saw you boys delivering Christmas treats. Oh be good everyone, magic is in the air.

Belive!

Last night I dreamed I heard Santa's Bells. Did I dream it or was Santa in Wallsburg? Grandpa Bowden's eyes would always light up when he heard Christmas Bells. Has anyone heard them lately? If you truly Believe listen! Millie and Maizie are you being good.?Are you listening? I hear Lucy that you are cleaning your house, way to go sweet girl! Dax and Jace are you being kind to Grady. Teach him listen for bells. I believe! and Christmas is only 5 Days away, Yikes! I love you!

So much to do at Christmas!

This spotted little fellow must have gotten out of his pen. It is good Santa has so many elf's to help at the North Pole. I heard whisperings in the air that Lucy and Abbie are A #1 baby sitters. They know how to change Jayne and get her in her PJ's and clean the house while Kim is gone. Oh I feel sure the elves saw those kind acts. Maizie and Millie I bet they are peeking in on your good deeds. ONLY SIX MORE DAYS UNTIL CHRISTMAS EVE!

Christmas Magic

Oh, the night is filled with magic. Elf's scampering across window sills to see those "Nice" little children and report back to Santa. Each night before you go to bed this last week of waiting for Christmas, peek out your window. Watch for especially bright stars, even shooting stars, saying, " Get Ready, Christmas is coming." If you truly "Believe" jump in your jami's fast, climb right into bed before your Mom even needs to ask.. Sweet Dreams! He is coming!

Jace I know how important it is to your Dad for you to brush your teeth. He loves sweet smelling breath. I think this funky elf must be trying to be "Nice" for Santa. I hope he gets to the yellow part on his teeth. Are you brushing? It is snowing like crazy right now, the reindeer must be pawing the ground with excitement. The elves are super busy! Santa is flipping his suspenders. Everyone be GOOD!

Christmas

This is a father reindeer and his son. Notice the horns already growing. I like his white spots. I wonder if he gets to watch his Father get ready to pull Santa's sleigh? Soon it will be his turn too. Jace, are you being kind at school? Lucy--are you helping your mom clean up the kitchen after the kids have gone to school? CHRISTMAS IS COMING!

Christmas Is Coming!

OH MY GOSH! I think Rudolf just showed up on my front lawn. I wonder if he was talking a practice run for Christmas Eve? Millie, I know it has been snowing at your house maybe he will show up in your back yard. Keep a close look out for him. Dax, are you being good? I will keep my favorite children in the whole world informed if I see any more Christmas Sightings. I love your bones this winter morning!
