Porch Tree Photo Shoot

Happy Holidays! I am finally getting around to decorating the house for Christmas. I started with the porch this year. Here is a little photo shoot of Aaron in front of the small tree we put in the porch. I didn't even get the tree all the way decorated before these pixs were taken. It looks nicer now with ornaments and bulbs on the tree. Aaron is wearing his little moose sweater. We bought him that sweater when he was about two years old....LOL! It's fit him but it's pretty small on him. I had to layer it with a turtleneck sweater.

I am almost done decorating the house for Christmas but I did take shortcuts this year. I didn't put up my small hutch trees. I also didn't put my dishes in the hutch either or put swags above my pictures in the house. On the outside we didn't hang the wreaths in every window. We did add some multi colored rope light to our new deck. Trying to stay with the easy route this year. Since I started so late.

Hope every one's Christmas planning is going well. Also to our friends and Family that are out of jobs and falling on tough times.....we send out our prayers and thoughts your way. It's tough times and this Christmas we made a pack with some family to cut back. So we wanted an old fashion Christmas with less gifts and more enjoying of food, wine and company. Stay home and enjoy home cookins, Fresh Coffee brewed at home(not at Starbucks) LOL, and homemade cookies, bars, and treats. Egg nog, cider and peppermint cocoa(YUM)! Plus, House Gawking at lights(that is free except for the gas-but gas prices went down so it's not so bad now).

Keep a look out for our family Christmas card soon. I will be posting my family photo card soon.

Aaron's 5th Birthday

I bet you guessed already on the THEME of Aaron's bday bash. Yes, this year he got to pick it and he wanted SPONGE BOB! He even picked out the cake.

Here some pixs of the Birthday Boy!

Here some Presents Aaron enjoyed for his 5th bday. I thought this one was so appropriate for the occasion:

My Sister Charline got Aaron this Sponge Bob cuddle pillow. So cute! Aaron LOVED his new Pillow.
He even gave Sponge Bob a bday Kiss! Sweet!

Aaron also got a play tent.........and had fun playing in the tent but it was so windy out that day. Luckily the tent didn't blow away.

We had a little picnic in the porch again. I had mentioned my sister Char was in town for Aaron bday and So was my Sister Francine.

Judy and Dave (MIL & FIL)enjoyed the picnic too and I got this cute as ever pix of Aaron and Judy together
and this is what we ate for our picnic brunch. Sloppy Joes, Veggie pasta salad, Grapes and Chip and Dip.
Than we had cake and here is the cake Aaron picked out for his bday. More Sponge Bob of course! Oh, and Wanda here is a pix of the lanterns too. Blue ones from Sears, Green from Kohl's.
I should have got video of Aaron blowing out the candles but here's a look at a bunch of photos of it.

Pix of My sisters and I together sitting in the porch and enjoying the breezes. Than it was time to get out the most important present of the day. We waited until the last minute, cuz as You will see in the photos...............Aaron was THRILLED and I figured he would never leave the yard once he saw his "BIG" present.

Like father like son(he's looking under the hood).
Aaron decided Sponge Bob needed a ride in the new Wheels too. LOL!

Aaron is going to have alot of fun driving this F150 Ford Truck around the yard. It has a real radio that plays so he listens to KS95 or Cities 97. He's already mastered the controls.

At the end of the day................we made Camp Aaron in the backyard. We felt so guilty not having time this summer to go camping with Aaron. So I thought it would be nice for him to set up the tent in the backyard and go camping all weekend long. Oh, did he enjoy that. Good thinking for MOM right??? It was a winner........and we even had a campfire too. I love this kinda camping.........right by my house where I can Sleep INSIDE(LOL...LOL....LOL)!

We ended the day by sitting by the campfire.................Aaron had a really laid back birthday party. IT was really nice and I am glad my sisters were here to enjoy it with us.
