It's finished!

I've finally finished decorating my Christmas tree!

Am I the only one who wants to get out the camera as soon as I'm finished?


 





Today's my husband Dennis' birthday!  We went out to dinner on Saturday because he has to work today; now we're waiting for him to get home so we can have cake and give him his gifts.

Here's my most recent photo of him/us, taken last month at an Air Force Academy football game.  It was  a night game and VERY cold! (Awful photo of me, but isn't he adorable?)

In other family news, my son Ben achieved the rank of Life Scout last week!

Here we are with our buddies who are also new Life Scouts (they're twins); the boys have been together since Cub Scouts so it is very cool for them to be advancing together!  Life Scout is the rank just before Eagle Scout.

Would you look at how tall my son has gotten?  He'll also be serving as Assistant Senior Patrol Leader to the Cabinet for the coming term.  That reminds me: I'd better get to sewing on those new patches and merit badges!

Remember, for the rest of this week you can comment for an entry in my Blogaversary Giveaway!  Click here for more details!

Your tree looks magical and you and your family are beautiful. Isn't it great to have digital cameras to take all these amazing photos and get to see them instantly? Seems like just yesterday we had to take out the film, drive it to a camera store to get developed, then wait! God bless digital technology.

Thanks for sharing.

Blessings,

Marion

We always get out the camera right away, too. Then we turn off all the lights and just lay around with only the tree lights lit. It's lovely!
