My Christmas Gift 2016

Pictures are not the greatest quality but there is a video also.
We went to visit the grandbabies on Christmas Day
and the girls gave me my gift that day.


When I opened this and saw
what it was I could not believe it.

I have blogged here since 2007!
When I opened this present
it was a book of my blog posts
& pictures from 2009!
Sweet Hunter didn't have his glasses on
but he finally figured out what it was.
Look at his sweet smile!

Yes, I cried!

The whole year of 2009 of my blog!
I never thought they could top
last years gift of the table runner.
If you missed that post you can see it HERE!
A special thank you to my girls!
They know me well.

Looking Back

This is actually Christmas 2015!
I wanted to share this with you
because my next post
will be what my girls got me this year!

We usually wear pajamas at our family Christmas parties!


I had no idea what this gift was!
The basket was full but they
wanted me to open this one first!

Although I had took a break from blogging
here, I still put lots of pictures
on facebook on a page I do called
"Our Forever Farm."

You can tell by my face that I was more than surprised!


They had took pictures off my facebook page
of our farm and put them on a table runner!
It is amazingly beautiful!

We could not stop looking at it!
I didn't even realize they looked at my page!

I had never received a gift like this.
It meant more than they will ever know!

Honestly they will never know.
They gave me lots more but we couldn't stop looking at this.

Every picture had a story.
And HOME is where our story begins!


Don't even ask me what we were laughing at but
whatever it was, it was hilarious!
I have lots of favorite pictures
of  "us" and this is one of them!
Here is my table runner that the kids gave me!
This is a treasure!
I will cherish it forever!
Looking back to our
Christmas 2015!

Just The Two Of Us!



My very favorite Christmas when I was a little girl was one where
we got up and Christmas morning &
we were actually disappointed
because there wasn't lots of toys around the tree.

There was a piece of paper telling me and my sisters
to follow the string.  It led us to a mini bike!!!!
Oh we were so excited!
We weren't disappointed after we saw that!
So that is what I did this Christmas for Sweet Hunter!
The crazy thing was I had his gift hid in the woods.
I was sure he wouldn't find it.
We have 50 acres!!!
But all week he had been singing
"Row Row Row your boat?"
So here we go looking for it in the woods on Christmas Morning!'
And sure enough  he goes right where it was in the woods.
Every Christmas he guesses his big gift.
But when we got there, it wasn't there.
I acted like I didn't know anything about where he was.
Little did he know, but I had moved it a couple of days before.
I had a pretty good hint that he knew because of him
singing that song and smiling really big!
So I wanted to get one on him!
(smile)

So I pointed in the right direction and he went to a creek bed
and there it was.
The good thing was it was wrapped in heavy plastic so
although he had found it,
he didn't know what it looked like.

As we got closer we were laughing so hard!
We have so much fun together!

The guineas were singing so loudly because they
knew something was different.

I thought this was the cutest picture!
Keep in mind we couldn't play with it yet
because Christmas day fell on a Sunday
and we had to go get ready for Church.

On Christmas Day it is our tradition to go see all the Grands &
see what Santa brought them.
So after Church we headed to their houses but Sweet Hunter
was so anxious to get back home to play with his toy!
He was a pro on it!!!
He loves it!
And he got me a new computer!!!
That's how I am blogging again!
 And he got me this beautiful coat!
And this jacket!!!
Don't y'all love seeing us in our pajamas!?
And me with messy hair and no make up??
Well, we are real!
I don't worry about all that stuff because one
day all that will be left is pictures.
And these cute camo boots to where when I go out to feed the chickens!
I LOVE them!
And in his stocking was an extra surprise.
Years ago while hunting Sweet Hunter lost his
wedding band.
He loved that ring.
Although this one is not as nice as his other one,
it is a platinum ring that he loves!
************************
There were many, many Christmas's that we couldn't afford to get each other gifts because
we had 4 children and they came before us.
Now is our time!
We have a ball together.
Just the 2 of us!
We work hard and play hard!
Merry Christmas!
