Better Late, Or Really Really Late, Then Never, Right?

Ok, this is a super duper late post, on what I got for Christmas. Sorry I didn't do this weeks ago! Have any of you heard of school? Ya well...

                                  Here's everything in one picture. Lots of blessings! =)

                                                       I got a pair of riding gloves!

                                                          They are really nice!

                                                 A belt buckle-Super-de-duper fun!

                                                                     Ooooooo! =)

                                                    Jean, always need those! =)

       And.....

                                             ....A belt!! I big bingy belt! I love it! =)

                                                                       It's purtty!

         One thing that I did need, was a real riding helmet. That too, came as a Christmas blessing!

I like it- a lot! =) I feel like I need to step up and be a "real" Equestrian now. (Whatever that means. I don't know...I just feel that way.) =) I'm weird. Moving on!

Now one of my most favorites!!

                                 A sweatshirt that says, Barrel Racing! I absolutely Love it!!

                                              It's a really fun sweatshirt! Trust me! =)

                                    This was before I washed it- so it shrunk a little bit. =)
         

                        Of course I got a horse calender. We all get a calender, each Christmas.

                                                       I love my horse calenders....

Those were all gifts from my family.

A couple friends gave me some horse/country related gifts.

A sweet friend gave me this, super fun frame! (And the picture-it's so weird though, the girl looks like me!) =)

 Then another girl gave me this book mark. You put it around the bind of the book. Is'n't that fun!?

That's all my horse related gifts this year! I was really blessed! Sorry it's like, LATE! =/

Merry Christmas!!

Luke 2: 4-20

 Joseph also went up from Galilee, from the city of Nazareth, to Judea, to the city of David which is called Bethlehem, because he was of the house and family of David, in order to register along with Mary, who was engaged to him, and was with child. While they were there, the days were completed for her to give birth. And she gave birth to her firstborn son; and she wrapped Him in cloths, and laid Him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn.

 In the same region there were some shepherds staying out in the fields and keeping watch over their flock by night. And an angel of the Lord suddenly stood before them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them; and they were terribly frightened. But the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid; for behold, I bring you good news of great joy which will be for all the people; for today in the city of David there has been born for you a Savior, who is Christ the Lord. This will be a sign for you: you will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger.” And suddenly there appeared with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God and saying,

 “Glory to God in the highest,
And on earth peace among men with whom He is pleased.”

 When the angels had gone away from them into heaven, the shepherds began saying to one another, “Let us go straight to Bethlehem then, and see this thing that has happened which the Lord has made known to us.” So they came in a hurry and found their way to Mary and Joseph, and the baby as He lay in the manger. When they had seen this, they made known the statement which had been told them about this Child. And all who heard it wondered at the things which were told them by the shepherds. But Mary treasured all these things, pondering them in her heart. The shepherds went back, glorifying and praising God for all that they had heard and seen, just as had been told them.

                                       Merry Christmas everyone!!

                           May the Lord bless you all on this wonderful Christmas! 

                 Sending the best Christmas wishes to all my followers, friends and family!  

It's The Most Wonderful Time Of The Year!

It's one of my favorite times of the year right now. It's the most wonderful time of the year! The time of year when we celebrate our Saviors birth!
One of the reasons I love this time of year, (besides celebrating Christs birth) is that everyone is happy, cheerful, nice and more polite then normal. People smile at you, say merry Christmas or happy holidays! It's so sad that people save there joyful spirits for this time of year. We should be celebrating Christmas every day and carry the joy of the season throughout the year!
I hope that anyone can see the joy of the Lord in me everyday and not only at Christmas time.

Another thing I love about this time of year, is the gift giving. I LOVE giving gifts. I love the smiles and laughter they bring. I have done lots of Christmas shopping this year and can't wait till all the secrets are out! =)
On Christmas day, I usually give Chester treats. Oats, carrots, extra grain and peppermint treats if I have any. Like I have said before, my horse is a picky eater. =( Other wise I would give him apples and other fun stuff.
I haven't gotten my horse any gifts though. In February there is a big used tack sale and I will hopefully be getting some tack there. So those can be his late Christmas gifts. =)
I have thought about getting him a hat or reindeer antlers but haven't spent the money on that yet....

What do you guys get your horses for Christmas? Do you do anything special with them?


                                        Isn't this the sweetest picture ever?!? I LOVE it!

                                               I thought this one was a fun one. =)

Can you imagine, if you were the one that came down on Christmas day to find this, under your tree?!
