Christmas at home

Christmas was spent here at home in Fort Worth. It was just our family this year and then we had Robert (my brother) and Casey and family over for Christmas dinner. This year it actually snowed on Christmas Eve which was very excited as we don't usually get snow. The kids played outside for a few minutes but ended up getting to cold. We aren't used to the cold weather. I think Buffy (our dog) liked the snow the best. She was so excited jumping around the snow and eating it.

Poyfair Christmas Card

Outside of the card



Inside of the card


Sorry I didn't send out a Christmas card this year. I worked really hard on it and then went to print it and my printer gave me problems. I went to Kinkos and tried forever to get the outside to line up with the inside and ended up giving up. I realized this was going to cost me over a dollar a card!
Just double click on the inside card so you can read it.

HAVE A MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!
LOVE, SHAWN, JANET, CALLIE, HAYDEN AND MASON

poyfair family calander

This is for the Poyfairs- heres a preview of what the calander is going to look like this year. Each year we scrapbook a family calander to give to grandma and grandpa and this year we decided to try digital scrapbooking. I have to say I love doing it digital! It is so much better. I love not having the mess of all the papers.
Everything is just at the click of a button!

My new YW

It is will deepest sorrow that I regret to tell all of you that my oldest child- Callie Rae is now old enough to be in the Young Womens program at church! Where did the time go? I know everyone says this and everyone out there not here yet will say this- Where did the time go? How did this happen so fast! Before you know it they will be gone, out of the house and married and I will be an OLD grandma! It felt like yesterday I was living at home with my parents going to my own YW activities. As you can read I am feeling very sorry for myself because what this all really means is I am getting old!
So here are her pictures from her first young womens activity where they had "messy olympics". Callie was very shy being with all these teenagery girls so she didn't get into all the fun. Hopefully as time goes on she will feel more comfortable with everyone. .

Callies 12th birthday party.
She had a great idea to have a scavenger hunt at the mall where we divided into three groups and each group had twenty dollars to try and buy/get as many items that start with each letter of the alphabet. The group that came home with all items and most money left won. They had a great time. Callie planned the whole thing, made the invitations and sent them out before I even saw them- on her invit she stated her "wish list" was money! I hope parents didn't think I did it! So thats what she got and the next day we went out and she bought herself a new phone.

summer project

I had many projects planned for my summer and got a few done but the one I am most proud of is this. My SIL found this idea on the internet and showed it to me and I had to make it since I had the same stairwell with nothing on it. Basically it is molding and rosettes that I hammered into the wall and then painted the inside of the frame and then hung rod iron pictures in it.
Thanks to all those who voted for my burgundy kitchen. Shawn finally agreed to it unwillingly but now I am having my doubts because I have decided I want to paint my cabinets a darker color and it would but just a really dark blob kitchen so its back to square one (not that I will have anytime to paint since I am back to work). - Projects for Thanksgiving Break, I am already making a list!
