Proud Mom and the Hustle and Bustle of the Season!

Hello 

and

Happy Sunday to y'all!

Can you believe it's the second of Advent already,

3 more weeks to Christmas,

and I'm running so...o behind on everything

including posting on the blog!

Sorry, but I have a great excuse,

our youngest son graduated from OSUT.

We are so proud of him and

Yes, we made the trip to Georgia twice over the last

30 days to visit for Family Day and

for the Turning Blue Ceremony/Graduation!

 Our little boy all grown up,

I'm tearing up just typing this post,

but adding Army Mom to my title makes 

me very very proud!

 Words can not describe what I felt that day.

Proud and sad at the same time,

knowing that in just a few short moments we had 

to say goodbye to him

and he was leaving for his new duty station.

It's hard to put it into words and I know

I will never stop worrying about him.

---

Finally got his picture framed and

working on the embellishments.

Not quiet done yet, 

I want to add all his duty stations and dates

 onto the right site of the frame but

haven't figured out how yet.

 Our handsome Infantryman!

And finally after all the hustle and bustle

of traveling we finally got our tree up this weekend.

 Same ornaments as last year with the 

exception of.. 

 ... Mr. Mouse and

 ... Mrs. Mouse.

Found these two adorable critters at a

Cracker Barrel Store somewhere between

Kentucky and Georgia.

Very appropriate ornaments for a household

 with 3 cats.

 And my gigantic stocking is hung too.

HeHe, looks like I been a real good girl this year!!! 

 Love using bottle brush trees for decorations,

actually you can find them all over our house

and not just around the holiday season.

 Another new addition to our 

Christmas decorations is this little

ladder made out of old tobacco sticks and

chicken wire.

Hope to display some of our Christmas Cards

on this little ladder. 

My old quilt stocking.

I adore old and new quilts,

so whenever I come across something made out of 

old quilt pieces it is hard for me to resist not to buy.

I hope you enjoyed the little tour 

through my 

Christmas decor!?

How is your Christmas decorating coming along?

Thank you so much for stopping by,

hope you have a wonderful

Holiday Season!
