Christmas Time is Here!

I love Christmas!  I love decorating our tree and setting up the rest of the decorations  inside while Ryan puts up the lights outside, the day after Thanksgiving.  I love smelling the apple cinnamon or vanilla sugar cookie candles I have around the house.  Everything looks and feels so cozy and warm! 
Early one morning, Brody woke up and padded out to the kitchen where I was making coffee.  "Mommy," he said sleepily, "can you put the lights on?"  "What light, Brodes?," I asked because the kitchen light was already turned on.  He turned around and shuffled out of the kitchen.   "In here," he called from the family room.  I walked to the family room and there he stood, pointing to the Christmas tree.  I turned the Christmas tree on and the soft glow from the tree filled the family room, lightening up his sweet face.  "Thanks, Mommy," he said giving me a hug.  Ahhh...I love Christmas time.

Thanksgiving 2010

It's a Helmer Thanksgiving!  We had Thanksgiving at my parents "house" this year!  What a great time we had playing games, eating yummy food, and visiting.  Angie was there too but I didn't get a picture of her! Oops.  (Sorry Helms.)
