I have been wanting an herbal medicine kit for a while now and I got one for Christmas! We have been taking Elderberry juice to help with cold and flu and I have an echinacea tincture on the counter. Yesterday I made the healing salve. It is made from olive oil steeped with herbs and then add beeswax. It was really fun and while I don't want anyone to get hurt, I am prepared to use it!

Christmas at our house. Jaclyn is missing in the pictures because she could care less about presents, LOL! The boys each get three gifts, although there is usually more than one thing in a box. Books, movies and games were the items requested. The biggest surprise for my oldest was the Heat jersey! J got a Kinect for the Xbox that we all had fun playing. I have to say I am still sore from the boxing game!

Lights on the Christmas Tree
I haven't been feeling real great so I didn't get to go out and see the Christmas lights this year. The star in the back is a reflection of the star on the top of the tree.

My husband got a call around 3:30 am telling him he needed to come in to plow roads. The storm wasn't supposed to hit until 9:00. When I got up at 7 this is what I saw.... after it was all done we got about 4 inches!

My son's cub scout party was this week. The theme was a Seussical Christmas. They had to come up with an Seuss type table decoration. The boys did an awesome job and were very creative. We had things from the Cat's hat (my sons) to the Roast Beast. Great job boys!

Word: Thanks
The next two are candles I bought at a craft fair. They smell SO good!!
I love snowmen! Picked this bracelet up at the fair also.

Ok, this last one I almost didn't share. The child does own a coat of his own, but he wants to wear one that his Grandpa gave us and his Dad's work hat. He looks like a hillbilly, LOL!!!
I'm back
Well, I am mostly back. I ended up getting a new computer so I am working on learning how to use it. It was an early Christmas present and something I had been wanting for a while now! I will be multi posting so I can catch up!
