Have a Merry Christmas today!!!!

Here is my favorite picture of our newest Great Granddaughter Serenity! Her 2 yr old cousin Adrianna can't say Serenity so she calls her Renny. I think this may stick as a nickname! LOL  I think Renny is a cute name. Serenity was born Dec 1 so she is 3 weeks old now!

Our House Smells Delicious! But it's not Christmas food! LOL

Our house smells delicious today! My DH is making Deer jerky! He makes the best jerky! Several have said he should sell it. When any of our kids are here when he makes it the jerky doesn't last long! They grab sacks of it and take it with them. He is making this batch for our son Nathan. We are going to Nathan's on Sat for Christmas dinner with all of our family. We have 27 now in our family. That is only my kids and grandkids my mom and my DH and I plus my son in laws parents. They don't get together with their kids on holidays so we have always included them since our kids were married in 95.

My mom came across the left right game a long time ago and has used various versions in showers and other get togethers.

You  start with a story about Mrs. Wright or about Santa or about any thing that you can find in a Left Right game. We have one about Rudolph and several others.
The story includes lots of left and right words  and when you hear left  you pass your unwrapped present to the neighbor on your left. When  you hear right you pass it rigiht. It gets funny and fast as you try to follow the story.

She started our family playing this game at Nathan's for Christmas a couple of years ago. This year she asked me to help pickout presents for the game. She wanted something fun and something they could play with at the table. So we came across some party favors for kid parties that looked fun. I love puzzles and some of these are easy puzzles that make a ball and there  are paddle balls and mini lizard punch balls and spinners and all of them are something that is a small game. They should be fun. We thought we had a lot of stuff bought but when  we seperated them out into 25 sacks it was just right. We ended up putting 5 things in each sack. I love the little cardboard man with the shavings for a beard. Then you use the magnetic wand to move the shavings and give him a beard or hair on his head. They should have fun with all of the neat little gadgets.

Hope you are all having a great time this Holiday Season!

Today our youngest grandchild Colton turned 1 year old!! We are on our way to his birthday party here shortly. I will be posting pics when I get back later today.

Yesterday I finally got to go see our newest great grandbaby Serenity! She is a doll! So tiny! Her head just barely fits in my hand. She slept the whole time but her daddy my grandson rocked her from side to side and she opened her eyes. Apparently she doesn't like it or it at least wakes her up every time. She is supposed to sleep around 3 hrs between feedings but has been sleeping 5 hours between. So the dr told them to let her. I quess I just did what ever the baby wanted when they wanted it. I never kept mine on any schedule.

So this is a busy weekend! Yesterday Mom and I went to see Serenity and then I had to go pick up Zach on our way back. Today in a little while I am going to swap Zach at home for his sister Rachel and she is going with us to Colton's birthday party.

then Rachel will come home with me and we will go to my grandson's again today to Alisha's birthday party. She will be 6 this next Tuesday. Then I will drop Rachel off at home on our way home.

I still haven't done more than decide what I want to put in this week's EQ lesson so that is the order of the day when I get home! LOL If I'm not too tired!

Hope you are all having a great weekend!
