It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas!

The stockings are hung waiting for Santa to fill!

The below pictures are of my Coca Cola Christmas Village. This year the Village has grown so much we had to break it up into 3 separate towns.

The town of Frolicking Frosty...

Our beautiful tree with the lights on...

Our beautiful tree with lots of lights in the dark. I so enjoyed another year of unwrapping each ornament and remembering who gave them to me. I just love this time of year. Of course as always we had a mishap with the tree. Luckily for the first time in 5 years I didn't run out of lights...(it makes now sense because we have had the same tree for 5 years) but this year over half way thruputting on all the ornaments, 1/2 the tree went dark. After the mishap last year, I put two cords up the middle of the tree and thought I had split the lights evenly between the cords, but apparently not. I had blown the fuse on one cord so I carefully moved a few strands of lights to the other cord and Chris changed the fuse out and we were in business.

We got up early Friday morning to get the outside decorated.

Not a whole lot to report on our weight loss except we are still losing and moving along great. We are both feeling better than we have felt in years. On Thursday we go back to Dr. Davis for our 6 month checkup and this is the appt that they will draw the 12 vials of blood and check to make sure all is good. I am not looking forward to this at all and I hope they don't torture us too badly. I promise to update after the Dr. Also on Sat we had some wonderful pictures taken at Herman Park by a friend of mine and very soon I will be posting some of these pics.

Until then, may God Bless each and every one of you during this most beautifully joyous season!

Hope you had a Happy Halloween

Peanut was a spider "Little Miss Scary"

Blondie was a "Little Monster" and oh how fitting that was for her

Helping Daddy hand out candy....we were so surprised how good she was and she loved all the attention from the little kids!

Helping Mommy hand out candy and giving love to anyone who gave her love especially her neighbor friends Ellie & Addison!

We had a fun Halloween as always. Lots and lots of kids in the neighborhood and absolutely no candy left! And just in case you are wondering, no neither of us ate a single piece of candy. Funny how knowing that it will make you sick makes you not care about eating it at all. The girls had a blast outside with all the kids and they were exhausted and slept good last night. This was Blondie's first time out with everyone and considering how hyper she is we were concerned but she was a very good girl....what a pleasant surprise.

As for our weight loss things are still going great. We are both feeling great and not having any problems. I met my first goal this week which means I have now lost over 100 lbs and in 3 more lbs I will meet my next goal of being under 200 lbs. I can't believe this has happened in less than 6 months. We had to go shopping for some fall/Texas winter clothes for me because with these cool mornings and evenings I have been freezing. I am officially out of the "Plus Size" dept and I am completely in the "Regular Size" dept, another huge goal for me. Chris is doing well, he hit a small plateau for about 2-3 weeks but is back to losing again. I did the same thing at about 4 1/2 months. He too is feeling great.

A quick update on our dear friends A&B....they are pregnant! On Friday they confirmed its one baby and she got to hear the heart beat. Needless to say they are on cloud nine. Now the hope is to carry this little one full term and not have any complications like they did with the twins. Thanks so much for your prayers for their family and thanks for the prayers for us too. Until next time, blessings to you all!
