December Checkin

I realized this morning it has been a long time since I've written anything here. Since my last post, we have been a pretty busy family! Blaine and I went with Les and Sabrina and some others to watch the Cheifs play the Bucs. It was a very exciting game, even if my poor Chiefs lost. Blaine was a happy camper though! Then the week after that, Shelli, Tammy, Michelle and I went to the New Kids on the Block concert in KC. Shelli and I didn't get home until after 4 in the morning but we had SUCH AN AWESOME TIME!!!

Also since I last posted, Blaine's Granny fell and broke her shoulder. She is currently doing therapy/recovery at the nursing home. I miss having her at home!

So Christmas is coming. I've pretty much finished my shopping, just need to get a few things found to give Blaine, since he has already purchased his own "big" gift (or so he says). Kara and I got the tree up, after a minor disaster involving the base. The base broke just as I finished putting the dratted thing together and had the lights on it! Thank goodness Mom bought multiple trees when she bought this one, I was able to just pop it out of the broken one and into the one from the spare. So Kara posed for a few pics lately:
Here she is playing a horn tree ornament. She really got into the decorating this year, so most of the ornaments are on the lower branches.

Since she is being the "forman" at the farm with Granny being gone, her daddy bought her some coverall options to keep her warm in the truck. Every morning Daddy asks what they are going to do that day, and Kara says "feed cows" I think the cows are WAY better fed right now than they've ever been!

And finally, Grandma Laurie found Kara the perfect shirt. Grandma is always saying that Kara is proof that the mother's curse works, and now I can dress her to advertise that fact. Mom also found Landen one just like it, so I will have to get a few of the two of them together!
