Merry Christmas!!!

This year, with all that has been going on in our life, it just hasn't quite felt like the holiday season. As I drove home from yet another temp job on Tuesday, the radio DJ was commenting on Christmas firsts. I thought about all the firsts of this Christmas for Hubby and I. It's the first Christmas where we haven't had a house, where our Christmas tree/decorations have stayed in their boxes, where Hubby had to work, where our life is in utter chaos. But with all of the "non" Christmas feelings, it's here and even past at this point. It still didn't feel like Christmas throughout the day. I have to ask my self, even though it wasn't the "ideal" Christmas, what is? The first Christmas probably wasn't ideal either. I just have to remember that Christ is still in the day and in my life. Just because it wasn't "perfect," it was God's perfect day for me.

I hope you had God's perfect Christmas day for you as well.

BRONCO GAME

Brrr...I'm still trying to warm up after sitting in the freezing cold and trying not to be too depressed about the loss. But I can say my first game was a blast! :)

Shelisa and I posed in front of the blue and orange limo.

We all used bandannas to keep our noses and mouths warm. We were the bronco bandits.

We were only 11 rows from the field!!!

Thunder was on the field a lot with antlers! :)

And Miles was dressed as Santa!

The players ran out through the tunnel with fog and flames.

We were ready for a great game, especially after Cutler's first touch down!

Shelisa and I felt the need to go all out in our Bronco's gear! :)

We were ready for the cold and survived the game. We had a blast and we were just excited to be there!

Merry Christmas!

Love Melps

What?!?!

If you really know me, you know how I LOVE the Denver Broncos. However, I have never been to a game. It has been a dream of mine for a long, long time. I thought that moving to Denver I might have a small chance of marking it off my bucket list, but the tickets are so expensive it just hasn't happened.

Then today, I get this text message from my dad: "Do u want broncos tix 4 sunday? Let me no asap. There r 4 tix n prking pass..." You can imagine my spastic response of "YES!!! YES!!! YES!!!" :) I had to call him and asking what kind of question that was in the first place. Do I want tickets????? Hello!!!! :) So now I have a countdown going till Sunday when I get to see my favorite football team in the world! :)

I'll let you know how it goes! :)

It's freezing outside...

Thus finally an update! :)

Update:



I did all the cooking for Thanksgiving! All by my self! I even made rolls from scratch!

Update:

The day after Thanksgiving was a great day! I hit my favorite store, Jo-Anne's, for the blessed flannel sale and got a stack! :) Then came home and decorated my parents house for Christmas!

Update:



My nephew is rolling over and starting to try to crawl, which is just plain funny!

Update:

We've had lots of snow here in Colorado. I finally convinced hubby to go play in it with me. The snow that day was just powder and wouldn't stick so my snow lady stayed small.

Update:

I finally finished all the nieces and nephews Christmas presents. I made them this year and stayed up till way too late most nights sewing! :)

Update:

My love of photography has continued and my nephew is the perfect model and a total ham! I was also asked to do the Christmas photos for my sister. I've had a blast!

Update:

Today the high was zero degrees. I'm sitting inside, bundled up in long johns, jeans, sweatshirt, beanie, and quilt!

Love,

Melps!
