My family is real big on making gifts for each other.  Yes.  We still buy gifts, but we also like to make gifts.  After all, homemade gifts are the best gifts.  Right?  My older sister made this for me.  I love snowman!  She enjoys working with canvas and made this snowman tissue box for me.  Isn't it adorable?  I LOVE IT!!!!
The side of it is a snowball stand that says "Holiday Special".  I didn't get a good picture of it.

 

Have a great day!

Hey y'all,
We just wanted to share some of our Christmas/winter decorations with y'all.  These pictures are of our railing that goes down the hall.  There is a little landing in the middle of the hallway and that's where the trees are.  
It's so beautiful when it's all lit up
Enjoy!
SMILE, GOD LOVES YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  

 

 

Hey y'all,
Having a good week?  We are!  We are enjoying the cold weather that God is blessing us with!  LOVE IT!!!  We know we're strange, but we're o.k. with it.  :)
A couple of Sundays ago, it was in the 70's, 70's I tell you!  That did not make us cold-loving-weather girls happy, so we improvised.  We had a Winter Wonderland Party in Sunday School to try and make up for the lack of snow and cold weather we'd been getting.  We had an indoor snowball fight, snow cones, iced cookies and sang snow songs! (Real spiritual I know, don't worry we did have our S.S. lesson!) The indoor snowball fight idea came from Ashley Phipps at Simply Designing.  We wanted to have blue snow cones, so it would turn our lips blue as if we were really, really cold, but the store didn't have any blue raspberry kool-aid packets.  :(  The fruit punch snow cones/cups (since they're in cups) were good though.  One of the girls actually got so cold she was shivering!  Don't worry, she warmed right up after our indoor snowball fight!  
Needless to say, we had a great time!  It helped us endure the heat wave we had.  We were going to run fans and have a freeze-out, but forgot.  It's probably best that way, don't want anyone sick!
Hope y'all have a great day!
SMILE, GOD LOVES YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Our homemade snowball, and our iced cookies!  I spy my purple pen, can y'all find it?  Lol I didn't realize it was in the picture. 

 

Hey y'all,
It's Friday!  (Just in case you didn't know:))  Have a good week?  Have y'all been having the roller coaster weather that we've been having? > 70 degrees on Sunday, flooding on Monday & Tuesday and 6" of snow yesterday!  Like I said, roller-coaster!  But we don't mind the last bit of weather-SNOW!  :)  We have been anxiously awaiting for the beautifully, light, fluffy stuff, so you might hear about it for a while, since we're ecstatic!  :)  Can ya tell?  We didn't think it was that obvious! lol :)
Well here's to a happy weekend y'all!
SMILE, GOD LOVES YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

5 FAVORITE THINGS THIS WEEK! 

"I simply remember my favorite things and then I don't feel, so bad!"

So, here are a few of our favorite things:

3.  We had a winter wonderland party in Sunday School this past Sunday.  It was 70degrees outside and we were wearing short sleeves IN JANUARY!   Insane.  So I decided we needed to "chillax" with a Winter Wonderland party!  We'll do a post on it later!  It was fun! :)

 

4.  Our Grandmother received good results back from her tests!  Praise the Lord!

5.  Drinking a good ole' cup of Hot Chocolate to get warm from the blustery cold weather. (which we thoroughly enjoy! ) Dixie had a regular cup of the warm, liquid-y chocolate and I had mine with a dose of peppermint! :) 

 

 

GUESS WHAT Y'ALL!
IT'S SNOWING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  (finally!) This is our first snow of the year and winter.  We've had some white flakes fall from the sky, but nothing that amounts to the beauty of what we're getting now.   We grew up in the north, so we're used to tons of snow, which you don't get in the south.
So needless to say Dixie n I are extremely happy, excited, thrilled....you get the point.  We tried to take some pictures, but they don't do the snow justice.  It's soooooooooooooo, extremely beautifully, gorgeous and breathtaking! 
Here are just a few of the pictures that we have taken at our house.  There is more to come!
Hope y'all enjoy!
SMILE, GOD LOVES YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:)
