Rockin' the Reindeer

First, I would like to thank everyone (Jennifer and Steve) for giving me much needed advice in the link department. I hope to try out my new mad skillz as soon as time permits (which might be 2012 by the looks of things).

So, my son's first grade class made reindeer sweatshirts (the ones using footprints and handprints). Today was their Christmas party and fun was had by all. The kids bought gifts for each other and my son ended up with some 'Dorky Glasses" (yes, that is really what they are called and yes, I do believe they are the same type worn by Beth Moore in her blog-aversary video). After many requests I have decided to post some pictures of mom and son rockin' our reindeer shirts. The previous statement is only partially true-- I am posting pics, but no one requested pictures. It just sounds better if I make it seem like someone really wants to see them.

You know, when I had my first child, I said I would love my children unconditionally, but would never be one of those 'cheesy' moms. I guess one out of two ain't bad!
















The above picture was taken by my 3 yr old. I wish I had a picture of him taking my picture - that Dash is the cutest thing.







Now for my personal fav.......


And, no we don't watch Harry Potter.
Enough fun for now. Hubs took Lake to basketball practice and I have to make hay while the sun shines......told ya I was going to share some Southern sayings with you. That means I have to get to work while I have the opportunity. See y'all!

So cute, Bethanne! And... I love the reindeer shirt! Every mom has to do that sort of thing once in awhile and it doesn't mean you are "cheesy". =)

Too funny!! Those glasses are hilarious. And the look on his face makes it just perfect. :)

'Cheesy' or not, you're a great mom, and your kids will treasure the pic of you wearing their self-made sweatshirt someday!! Does that say 'love', or what??

Cute!!

I am "cheesy" all the way!

I love the shirt! Cute idea---I've never seen it. Gonna copy it on paper---no need for 6 reindeer sweatshirts you know.

I forgot to go to Amazon for you----I was stuffing 70 stockings for Swim Team. Give me until morning---I'm behind on reading posts too. I may need your mail (home) address to send the gift card though----I'll check online and get with you.

Love the shirts!! When my girls were in preschool, I made everyone snowman sweat shirts for Christmas, (using thier feet). Anyway they were a big hit, but unfortunatley I haven't made a thing since!!
Just wanted to tell you how much I loved your playlist. I knew most all of those songs, but didn't have all of them. I listened to your list for 2 hours while I did my Christmas cards,(Owen was asleep) then went straight to iTunes and downloaded the ones I didn't have. I love music and God often uses it to speak to me. This morning during my quite time, I studied something with direct quotes of scripture out of two of those songs....blew me away!!
