Welcome to Thankful Thursday - December 12, 2013

 Scenes from Cozy Place 2011

So then, just as you received Christ Jesus as Lord, 
continue to live in him,  rooted and built up in him, 
strengthened in the faith as you were taught, 
and overflowing with thankfulness.
Colossians 2:6 & 7

Good Morning Sweet Folks,

How are you this fine morning?

Hope all is well with you and yours.

We are doing well..........got a bit

more of a handle on things this week

which is great..........feeling good

today, got enough sleep and get to

watch my lil darling later this 

afternoon.........just finishing up

the decorating in the living room

and I am packing stuff away!

Finally...............

So looks like it is gonna be a 

great day!!  Had planned to post

on Wednesday, but since I didn't

have access to the computer just

waited till today................

and here's my list.

#1

I am thankful

for all the online shopping I have been

able to do this year.  Not my typical way

to shop,  but it has come in handy I have

to say............

#2

I am thankful

for a sweet time with Brooklyn yesterday,

we stayed at her house as she was up a 

lot during the night with congestion, so we 

all wanted her to sleep well and have her

humidifier.  She was having trouble sleep-

ing lying down anyway tho,  so I  just rocked

and held her upright on my lap and she was

 able to sleep for 2 hours,  and was in such

 a great mood when see awoke.  She really

cracks us up all the time anymore.  Just so
precious.................

#3

I am thankful

that we got to have dinner with Scott

and Megan,  as she picked up Sonny's

b-b-cue for all of us,  so that was nice

and we adults all got to visit a little bit too.

#4

I am thankful

for a fun night out with hubby shopping

on Tuesday night again,  and that it pretty

much finished up my shopping,  accept for

a few things I want to get for hubby still.

So let the wrapping begin soon!

Yeah, I officially finished my shopping
 tonight!!  Only grocery shopping left.

#5

I am thankful

for a nice dinner at Outback on Tuesday

as well..............

#6

I am thankful

that all our menus are set for the Mon.

Tues. and Wed. before Christmas, thanks

to DeeAnna helping me make plans since

they will be here then.........one less thing

for me to be concerned with.......She is

really getting more organized that me

these days...... and I am loving it!!

#7

I am thankful

that we are gonna get to celebrate Jerry's

birthday with him while he is here.  It isn't

until early January but  we figured hey, 

why not!!  We are all getting together 

that night anyway.

#8

I am thankful
I got a fun idea for Jerry's birthday table
tonight while at Wally World.....It is gonna
be a Merry snowman theme!  and just
a simple fun pizza and salad night, his
favorite sort of meal........lol

posterized#9
I am thankful
that hopefully tomorrow I can put away
all my Christmas decorating stuff...finally!
It is mainly all in the dining room and all
over the dining room table, everything
else looks pretty good........but it is time
to get the dining room tidied up so I can
start thinking of tablescapes............
my most fun thing to do...............one
down 3 to go.................


#10
I am thankful
for a sweet Christmas card and note that 
we recieved today from the lil gal (with the
broken rib) who stayed with us back in
October.  She is such a sweetie,  we also
got to attend her lil ones first birthday party
last weekend.

#11
I am thankful
for Christmas movies,  we have gotten
to watch a few, some were silly but fun,
like Snow and Snow 2.  Haven't finished
Snow 2 yet, we fell asleep,  maybe we will
finish tomorrow night and wrap some at
the same time.................we love all sorts
of Christmas movies................


#12
I am thankful
for the Marvelous Gift that God has given
to each and every one of us, who will accept 
Him as the gift He really is............
Jesus,  God's one and only Son!
and what a gift He is to me and my family.
can't imagine life without Him.....

Well, there you have it.... from Cozy Place
once again.............


Hope you are enjoying this Beautiful yet
Sacred time of the year!

Love, Hugs and 
Merry Christmas Blessings,
Nellie

I have to say I have heard Merry Christmas
used more this year than in quite a few years, 
and it is like a well of refreshing everytime
I hear it.........
hope that is because the people of our nation
 are just so sick of this nonsense of political 
correctness and small groups of people try-
ing to change things that have been around
for 2,000 years................

I'm off my soapbox now!!   lol

Have a great weekend,  sing some carols,
have some fun, watch some movies or
bake some cookies,  just do something
fun with someone you love...........

Christmas Blessings!
