This is our cute tree. I really couldn't imagine Christmas without a tree, plus Brad needs something to keep him company til he joins us in Utah. We also hung lights around the windows. It is oh so Christmasy in the Chambers home.
And this is our little Rock Star.
A funny story. I have this ring that I wear occassionally. I have been wearing it recently so I was reminded of this story. How should I explain this ring? Well, I wear it when I want to feel "dressed up", even if I am not going to church. I wear this ring on my pointer finger because I like how it makes me feel flashy, like when you paint your nails (you know what I'm talking about girls). Well, I have had this ring for quite sometime. I think I took it from my mom's jewelry drawer. Inside the ring there is a name etched into the precious metal. All I see is SARAH. I have been wearing this ring for years and telling people, who ask about the ring, that I got it from my mom who recieved it from her ancient relative named SARAH. Secretly, I feel like this ring is some heirloom that I have stumbled across and I am truly wearing a priceless piece of family history. Oh, to be so fortunate. Anyway, one time I was wearing it and my mom asked me about it. I tossed my hair back and said, "oh mom, don't you remember this ring. It is from great grandma". She asked me how I knew that and I took off the ring in a oh-so-i-have-to-remind-you-dear-sweet-mother-of-the-priceless-history-of-this-ring type manner. I showed her the SARAH engraved inside the ring. She just laughed. She laughed and laughed as she told me that the ring was a cheap piece of costume jewelry called SARAH COVENTRY jewelry and that she got it when she was little kid and she just kept it ever since. I still wear the ring with pride and have a little laugh inside as people continue to admire it.

It's still cool to have a ring from when your mom was little. :) I have a sort of related sad story I'll post on my blog. It's too long to post here.
Hilarious! I love your stories!! :)
wow, chloe is standing. My mom had a neclace I loved and thought was something special until I got older and could read the Avon stamp on the back. But I still love it too and will probably have to fight with my sisters over it someday.
Melanie, you crack me up. Wear your ring with pride. Nobody needs to know. Keep telling your story the original way, it's fascinating. Even if it isn't true. (I found you while blog hopping. It's snowing outside and I'm kind of bored. I need a good book to read)
So I love your tree!! It's very cute and festive! and I want to see this ring of yours!! I think you should stick to your original story- it's a classic!!
Great story..thanks for the laughter have fun going at home....
You're so funny! I love your flashy jewelry! And...Chloe is a little rock star! Cute girl.
Chloe is so cute!! It's fun to see her cause she is at the same age and stages as my boys. I think my boys will think she's cute too:) Are we still meeting over the holidays?
Is Chloe starting to get into everything? She so cute!!
