Straight From The Berrys' House

Well, here we are again one more day and we will be entering the month of December! WOW, this year sure has gone by super fast!

Gordon and I will be married 19 years on December 9th!

My children have grown up way too fast. Zach is now talking of which college he is going to attend: Nathan is always talking about his "girl-friend" Casey and Rachel ... well she is still the little girl in my eyes. I do not like it when she talks to me about BOYS! To me she should still think that all boys have cooteys! I am sure we all remember that stage!

Anyhow ... what I want to talk about today is my FAVORITE web site! It is www.picnik.com! You can take pictures from your computer that you have taken or that others have taken and do so many wonderful things with them. If you LOVe taking pictures like I do you should relaly enjoy this web site! BUT PLEASE ... do not go on that site unless you have a LOT OF TIME on your hands. I simply could spend hours on there doind this or that ... Rachel really loves it to! There are a LOT of things that you can do simply by going on the web site but then if you join and pay thier $25.00 fee ... you can have UNLIMITED access to everything on that web site for a whole year! I signed up for a year this past January it was a super great investment!

Take a look at the site and have FUN!

With Love ... Angela

Christmas At The Berry's House

Well, Christmas will soon be upon us again. My how the time does fly. It just seems like a few days ago I was wiping noses and changing diapers ... now I am working and trying to keep everything done.

Life does sometimes seem complicated and busy. But still yet Christmas is my favorite time of the year. I go to great lengths to make sure that everything gets decorated. Inside the house, outside the house.

Last year between jobs I had 3 weeks free. During those three weeks I decorated everything that would not move! I had several new things (well, new to me but these things are special they belonged to my Mom.) I put up Mom's wreath, Christmas balls that she had made for each of her grandchildren and the "Mopsie" family, the church that was given to me at her funeral and combined this all with the picture that Friendship bought for me when Mom passed away.

These were Mom's Santa & Mrs. Claus ... I put them up along with her little tree in the dining room and combined it with all he icicles that she had collected throughout the years.

I helped her collect these over about a 10 year peiod of time, she loved Angels, Icicles, & Snowmen!

I made this for Mom several years ago ... I cried when I put it on the tree.

Secret Pal 2008

Sunday was A LOT of fun! After church all the women met and we had food galore!

We played "Dirty Santa" I am displaying the Christmas ornament that I took that my sister n law ended up taking home with her.

We had a great time of games fun and lots of laughter. We drew names for next year!
