Wrappin' up the presents



I wanted you all to see the fruits of my labor! After 3 hours of gift wrapping last night (not counting previous times) I am pretty much done. I am paying for it now. My back is all messed up. Last night I moaned and groaned. I wish Shawn could "feel" what I feel...poor guy. All he sees is me limping and then there is the yelling because of the pain! Anyway, I found the idea to put ornaments on the packages. I am thrilled with the way they turned out. I can't wait for Christmas!!!

I should have had you wrap Carisa's gifts!! I had Chip and Drew help me and it all turned out really "nice." :)

ooohhhh pretty! I think it makes the gift seem even better when the package is pretty.

Hey girl, how fun to get your comment on my blog and find out that you have a blog too! =)

LOVE the Christmas packages...beautiful! =)

Your question about the rolls, I'm not sure if I know what you are asking. Maybe if you let them rise a little larger they wouldn't be so thick. I hope this helps! =)

Merry Christmas!! How neat that y'all are to have a baby girl in February! We are to have our 4th baby in May, but we don't know what he/she will be yet! =)

Love, Heather and family! =)

Melanie, It was so nice to receive your comment on my blog the other day and to find out that you have one as well. I read tons of blogs and love to keep up with all my friends - even the one's I may only see once a year :) Your boys are very handsome and cute and congratulations on the girl that will be making her arrival very soon! I wish you all a very Merry Christmas! Leanna Pitcher
