First Christmas....

Christmas was a success this year.. Not only did my husband and I get to attend church and worship the Lord, we also received gifts we were looking forward to!! We had the opportunity to purchase our first tree, our first ornaments, our first tree topper, wrap gifts. I was proud of how our First Christmas tree turned out. The picture attached was taken after we purchased the first set of gifts. You can't really tell but our tree was a bit crooked. Gabe wasn't pleased with the way I held it up, as a result it was a bit bent over. Still looks good though, right?

I would like to also share this picture of some presents!!

If you cant tell, I took the initiative and picked red and gold to be our theme color for our Christmas tree! :) I thought it looked great. It was fun picking out a tree, setting it up (not so much), buying gifts, making gifts, listening to Christmas music, spending time with our loved ones, watching Home Alone 1 & 2 over and over again, opening gifts, & saying Merry Christmas!! But then, it all comes to an end.... sad.sad.sad... time to take down the Christmas tree, put up the ornaments, store them for a year and it all repeats again!! Whats your favorite part of Christmas??

These 2010 Holidays with the help of my wonderful husband, I had to remember to keep a positive attitude and make it a great one. There was no reason to be upset over ANYTHING, we have been blessed with so many things it would be ridiculous to pout over something uncalled for. How was your attitude towards others and yourself these past days? Confession, Christmas Eve I was upset at myself over something dumb as what am I going to wear? What does it matter right?? It sounds so stupid now that I think about it, but that night it was a serious deal. Of course, Gabe told me it didn't matter but as stubborn as I am I chose to be negative about it .. ;/ After I put on clothes I wanted to wear from the beginning I was happy!! Its crazy how something like that can affect me, because I let it.. Booo!

Its easy to say I will change my attitude towards myself, and life... but for one reason or the other I manage to find a way and not be happy.. (Not all times)... I know it will take time but I will continue to work on it until I feel like I am a better person.. With my husband's reminders and help I know I will accomplish it ....
