We had a open house for the Metz family yesterday afternoon.  We rearranged furniture to give more room for people to mingle.

A little baking going on around here.

Emmy came by to help.
New bow on my serving dish.
Cookie cutters back to the closet.
It has been so cold here - chili hits the spot.
Got to have bread with chili.
Yesterday we went to Dave's retirement Christmas party.  It was at Flemings Steak house.  Dave with Tommy, his boss 10 years ago.
Sharon on the left was Dave's secretary.
Dave with his best buddy, Ernie.
We did a little shopping after lunch.
There is a skating rink.
Back home --
I found these at the $ store.
I think pomegranate martini's will look very pretty in them.
I found another cooking Santa - 60% off.  You don't have to wait until after Christmas to get things on sale.
It snowed this morning. 
I love it, especially since I don't have to go out in it.
Annabelle -
She loves to eat the snow!  She is such a cutie and she is pretty much house broken - has an occasional accident.  We love her.
