Shaelynn and Santa....

So, we took Shaelynn to see Santa.  We took her to Cabela's - we had shopping to do and it is SO much less stressful than the mall!  There was NO line, and the fee for the picture and visit was a donation to charity.

So, since Thanksgiving Shae has been working on her Christmas "list".  I use the word list lightly, because it's more like a Sears and Roebuck Catalog as my dad says.  She decided that writing everything out was too much work ... so she compiled more of a 20 page (front and back) scrapbook of sorts.  On top of each page she wrote "I want this", and on the next page she wrote "And This ...".  Countless glue sticks and rolls of scotch tape met their demise while Shae was compiling her list.  Here's a little how her Santa visit went.

She went through every item on every page.  Doesn't Santa look pleased?!

In line with her "Catalog"



And, last but not least ...  a picture of my crazy awesome cattle feeding skills.  I managed to get the bale in there on the first try, without crushing the bale ring or a cow!  Go me!!!

I've been crazy busy with Soap Mom lately, and I'm sick as a dog.  My poor husband has been so very patient with me.  I'm tired, cranky, and smell like a mix of vomit and eggs (that's all I really want to eat lately). He's doing excellent at this pregnancy gig.  I have a Dr.'s appointment on the 28th to confirm the due date, but I'm sure it right on give or take a day or so.  In case I don't get a chance to talk to all of you before Christmas, I hope you have a great one, stay safe, and if anyone doesn't have family coming in your are ALWAYS welcome at our house!!!
