Canden - come on down!!!! Woo Hoo! Please email me your address...
Here is her original post:

YEAH! You are VERY generous to give away that beautiful box!

Let's see....Christmas memory.....The ONE year in ALL my 31 years that we had snow on Christmas! It was after my parents had divorced. We were at my father's house and he borrowed my uncle's diesel duelly to take us to my mother. When we got to her house, the snow drifts were over 5.5' (YES FEET) tall! You couldn't see my mother anywhere! LOL She's about 5' and VERY petite! We spent most of the day using the duelly to pull people out of ditches!

Canden - I loved reading your post as well!! You are a girl after my own heart - tons of snow, diesel trucks, a short mom (mine if 4' 11"), and the ability to take a 'bad' situation and look at the good!!!

Thank you everyone that posted... And, I will have more blog candy soon! Looks like I am approaching my 100th post, and have passed the '3000' views threshhold!

Advent - Day 4 - Reminders & Call for Angels

REMINDER

**** Heads up everyone! Last chance to get in on the RAK giveaway I posted a week ago! Go to the post on Nov. 27th regarding Blog Candy!!! Tomorrow I will pick one lucky winner!!! You must comment on the original post! ****

Today was one of those super woman days.. You know, when you wake up early, get tons of stuff done, and want to drop at the end of the day and end up biting everyone's heads off (that you love dearly)? My poor little family...

1. One of my accomplishments involved a 'discovery'. I found a 'leak' in my car. Kid related leak. You know those pockets on the back of the front seats that the little people use for toys?? Well, my little guy thinks it's a pretty cool soda holder... not a canned soda... A ast food type of container... The bummer is the soda has been there for a few days, and leaking through the paper seam and into the pocket! So, cleaned that baby out...and uh, my son as well....
   
2. It was warm today! ACK! Our snow is melting!!!!! (said to tune of the the wicked witch of the west, melting on OZ).... So, I washed a couple windows... It was 40 degrees after all! Balmy! Also picked up stuff hidden under snow...
   
3. I did decorate out my the mailbox... That was the extend of today's festive festivities...
   
4. Lots of ranch work... getting ready for December deliveries, new sausage orders, and mailing out our Christmas Card (just ordered it yesterday - thank-you snapfish pals)!
   
5. Lots of errands... a meeting.. groceries... and some shopping..

So, last night was such a fun night! We had breakfast for dinner... Lamb sausage, eggs and fried potatoes... YUM! THEN we ate while watching a super duper cool move 'Transformers'. That was a great night!!!!

****** Now, for Advent Day 4...... A call For Angels....... *****************
I want each and everyone of you to visit Courtney's Blog.


Courtney has posted a Give-A-Way, for a very special cause... This is a special season, correct? Where we love to give more than we receive and try to spread some love... Right?
Well, there is a young mother, Gina, who has 3 young boys, and she is sick... Cancer sick... She is getting chemo. She needs some encouragement... Apparently, she is having a hard time balancing being a wife, mom, and being super sick - all during the holidays!!!! Think of how hard it is a mom to have the flu and juggle everything! Please visit Courtney to see how you can help.

And, say a prayer for Gina, her boys, and her husband. I am sure each is carrying a burden we don't quite understand.... yet we can brighten their day!

Peace be with all of you.....
