Life

Do not try to tame the heart,
but listen to its song,
and it will lead you to the place
where you most belong.

Life is about becoming what you were meant to be....

Chirstmas Tree Ornaments

Ten years ago me and Paul bought our first Christmas tree and ornaments to go on the tree. I was very specific on the ornaments. I had a certain look in mind. I wanted a very upscale looking tree. We spent a fortune on the ornaments and the tree looked fabulous.

Then our kids were born and we started the tradition of putting their picture in an ornament each year and each year the kids pick out an ornament of their choice. Last night I was looking at our tree with all the spidermans, supermans, Doras, baseballs, soccer balls, The Hulk, puppies, cars, starwars figures, all the school made, ect, ect, ect ornaments and couldn't help but cry. Each kid's ornament from over the years has added such beauty I could of never imagined. Each kid's ornament has a story of that year that it was picked out. Each year when the ornaments are going up the kids remember each one and tell the stories of why they had picked that one. It brings back such good memories and the kids remember each one.

Each year more and more of the ornaments that I picked out that first year stay in boxes and I know one year there won't be a trace of those first year's ornaments. But I wouldn't change a thing! Our tree is more beautiful then I could of ever thought possible filled with happy memories from top to bottom with more and more added each year! This is one of my favortie parts of Christmas!

Putting Up The Tree

Dallas Pictures- Paul's Family

First Two Pictures

are at The Big Texan. The two men are attempting to eat a 72 ounce steak (72 ounce steak each). If they finish it in an hour they get it for free and get their names on a board if not then they have to pay for their meal, 125.00. They had to finish the steak, salad, bread, baked potato, and veggie. They tell people not to talk to them because they only have an hour to finish and about 3 minutes after they started a ton of people went up to talk to them. LOL! Asking them where they were from, why were they wearing suits, do they think they will finish, ect. We were right up front by them so we could hear what all people were saying to them. I don't know if they finished in time or not because they started when we were finished and with the kids we couldn't wait around for an hour. It was exciting! Stay tuned for pictures from Dallas with Paul's family!
