-The Three Of Us

dress hunters

You know how on House Hunters they have 3 different houses and it's a game to see who guesses which one they'll get? Well, I'm not getting a prom dress, but if I were, here are my 3 choices. You have to comment and tell me which one you think I'll get.

#1 Very pretty white dress. I love the delicate lacy look of it. I also love how it is long and flowy. But it might be awkward if I'm drinking red punch and I happen to miss my mouth. And would it look too much like a wedding dress?

#2(the one on the right) I love the way this dress looks so beachy! The sequins at the top almost look like shells. Since I live in a coastal area, this would be great. This is also a very good color on me. It looks like it could be low though, and I'm not a huge fan of strapless dresses. Also I am not sure what I think of the high waist.

#3 I love this dress! I really like the color and the way there is just one strap. I also like how high the dress comes. I'm not sure what I think of the middle section. Also, I can't see her feet; would I be tripping over this dress?

So what do you think? Would I get dress number 1, 2, or 3? Comment and let me know or vote on our poll. The answer will be posted next week. :)

Psalm 103:12

"its going to happen"

pick up your edge

2 Kings 6:1-7

Now the sons of the prophets said to Elisha, “See, the place where we dwell under your charge is too small for us. Let us go to the Jordan and each of us get there a log, and let us make a place for us to dwell there.” And he answered, “Go.” Then one of them said, “Be pleased to go with your servants.” And he answered, “I will go.”  So he went with them. And when they came to the Jordan, they cut down trees.  But as one was felling a log, his axe head fell into the water, and he cried out, “Alas, my master! It was borrowed.” Then the man of God said, “Where did it fall?” When he showed him the place, he cut off a stick and threw it in there and made the iron float.  And he said, “Take it up.” So he reached out his hand and took it.

christmas traditions

One of the best things about Christmas are the traditions that each family makes and continues to keep year after year. 

One of my family's Christmas traditions is that every day, starting on the first Sunday of December, we read a chapter from our Advent book together. We have three special books, each telling the Christmas story in a different way, and we choose one to read each year. We like to make a big pot of hot chocolate, curl up by the fire(if we happen to have one at that moment) or around the table, and Mom or Dad will read out loud. We have been doing this ever since I can remember. 

Some of our other traditions are 1) the siblings always draw names on Thanksgiving and we try to keep it a secret who we have and get a gift for that person. We open these gifts on Christmas Eve along with any other random sibling gifts, and we open all our gifts from our parents on Christmas morning. It's a lot of fun trying to keep yours a secret while trying to figure out who everyone else has and who has you. :) 2) Every Christmas morning we have a breakfast of Breakfast Casserole, cinnamon rolls, and orange juice/milk/egg nog. 3) We make a big feast of hors d'oeuvres and eat them on Christmas Eve.

a word from Chavonne:

Christmas is one of the absolute best holidays! You get LOADS of food to eat, candy, presents and you can hangout with friends and family. PLUS, you get to snowboard, ski, skate, snowmobile, etc. Definitely one of my favourite holidays. =D

Even though i love all the food i get to eat, and candy (and presents are great), i love seeing my family. I love my siblings faces when they open a gift that they've been wanting for a very long time. I love how everyone is always in such a good mood and smiling and laughing. I also love how Christmas morning is one of the ONLY mornings where teenagers will actually get up early. =P

Now, for those of you who are from German families or who know German families you've probably heard (or know) how German families will open all their gifts Christmas Eve. Now we don't open all of the gifts Christmas Eve at my place, but we do open 1 gift, and that's because we do have some German blood in us. We also have some other Christmas traditions like, some kids will sleep beside the Christmas tree, we always have Eggs Benedict (with different kinds of meat) for breakfast, and we always have some one hand out gifts. Now i'm not going to list all of our family traditions for Christmas, because that would just take to long. Just giving you a bit of a glimpse though of what Christmas is like with my family.

I hope you're Christmas is a very happy and wonderful Christmas

Merry Christmas everyone [:

p.s. I also love the Christmas music. Music can make anything and everything so much brighter and happier. 

What are some of your Christmas traditions? :)
