So, this is December…

And I’ll tell you what I’ve done. As you can see I just gave up on NaBloPoMo this year. My first year not complete it in, well, years. But if you follow me on Twitter you know why and I’m not going to rehash the story now.

It’s December. We are now squarely into that part of the year where it’s okay for you crazy people who are so into Christmas that you started listening to tunes of the season in July after you stopped in June to continue doing so without looking like lunatics. No offense. You know who you are!

To ring in the season, every year like I have since 2005, in the Oklahoma style, here is the B.C. Clark jingle spot that Heather and I were on in 2005. As I child I dreamed and hoped that I would someday be on TV singing this, so it was a huge thing to cross off my bucket list. I only wish that I had put it on a list before I did it so I could have had something to cross off. (We’re on at 0:22 — I’m on the right. It’s brief so look close!)

And here’s Oklahoman Megan Mullally singing it on Jay Leno:

Family Photo Outtakes

While we were back home for Thanksgiving, I handed off my camera to my cousin Jessica so that we could attempt to get a decent family photo. Something that hasn’t happened since my wedding and before that probably not since…well, since my youngest brother decided to start making faces. So, like 1992.

Please note that my dad is not actually choking my mother.

He is, to her horror, picking her up.

I am doing the same thing I did at my wedding rehearsal.

Then it looks like my husband thought about picking up my mother. I don’t think he actually did it. Probably in his best interest not to.

Meh.

Trying to get out of the sun.

My little brother, Ryan, doing his best to ruin family photos since 1988.

Oh, so that gets a laugh out of you guys.

We eventually got a couple of good photos. The Christmas cards are finished and ordered and should be here in a few weeks. When I mail them out I’ll post the finished product here! Thanks again to Jessica. These wouldn’t have happened without you.

God’s Goodness Wooden Pedestal Review + Giveaway!

DaySpring kindly sent me one of their beautiful “God’s Goodness” wooden pedestals to review this month. It’s a large pedestal suitable for featuring some of your favorite decorative items. I think I’m going to pick up some acorn ornaments I’ve had my eyes on and place them on top of it. Either that or a big ol’ candle. Whatever I go with, this is a lovely piece that adds a touch of style to any room you place it in. And I love the message.

To live with joy is to see God’s goodness

Don’t tell, but I think I’m going to get one of these for my mom, either for her birthday or Christmas (which fall a week apart). She’ll love this!
