Necklace...

I just made this necklace. It turned out pretty cool. Its hard taking pictures of jewelry so this is what I came up with. Hopefully you can kinda tell what it looks like.

Its has real sparkly beads with black ribbon, black chain with swarovski balls with an AB finish and some other little cool beads I put in on one of the chains. Anyways I like it! (mom I got most of the beads from all the stuff you sent me.) :)

Nothing special here. Just an update of what she looks like.

Christmas Dinner at the Taits...

One of my favorite things to do is Table settings. This year we had Christmas dinner at my house and this was my table. Simple, but it looked pretty!




I decorated bulbs with glitter glued them to little mirrors and took the tops off and put flowers in them.
Adam got me the mirror end tables I've been wanting for our bedroom. They look really good.

Christmas...

We had a really good Christmas this year. Christmas Eve we went to Adams parents house to do the nativity and other things. The kids get to open a family present which is always a game. They also got robes this year.

Growing up we had a tradition taking pictures sitting on the stairs oldest at the top and youngest at the bottom on Christmas morning. So we've continued that tradition in our family.

In our house Santa only brings 1 present and the rest are from mom and dad. The one from Santa isn't wrapped so the kids have to stay upstairs until we come and get them, I know the torture we put them through! (we have the baby monitor on so we know when they're up) Well Owen sometimes comes down in our bed in the middle of the night. So sure enough he came running in our room Christmas morning waving his present from Santa. We pried it from his hands and put it back. We got the other kids tried to take the pictures and opened presents. (that's why Owen wasn't happy in the picture, he knew what was down stairs waiting for him.)
