Merry Christmas

We had a great Christmas  - I am so disappointed because I lost all of my pictures of the kids at Christmas and our trip to St. Louis.  Not sure why - my memory card was just damaged.  So life goes on.  This is a cute set my boss gave me.  The wrap is so soft and there are black slippers to match.

Love the pattern.My talented daughter out did herself.  She made me the calendar - so cute. 
Also this great book of the kids.  I cherish it.Dave gave me some charms for my Pagoda bracelet - a bird, a little girl (they were out of the little boys) and Dave said I needed some color - it makes the bracelet.  Dave got this cool mug from Amy and Paul.

Happy Birthday Dave

Happy Birthday Dave!! We love you!!Enjoying his favorite winter drink.

Something for me.

Cute wreath from the Pessara's.  He also got a Deen Koontz book and a Chick Filet calendar.

I gave Dave this angel statue and some $ to get a new recliner. 

Waitress staff had to sing happy birthday!

Dave's birthday was December 28 and he wanted to go to Red Lobster.  Kari, Ian and Matlin met us - Emerson was sick and couldn't make it.

Snow for Christmas

We haven't had snow the week of Christmas in as long as I can remember.  These pictures are from Friday night.  Bandit and Dave's foot prints.

Our neighbor's house.

Good to be back inside by the warm fire.  It is 29 degrees outside.

Saturday Morning.

It started snowing here Friday night around 6:00 - so pretty but it may interfere with our holiday plans.In the meantime I have found some goodies.  This bowl and whisk was $5 on the Christmas aisle at Walmart - I love these great bargains.My huge cookie jar - I made a double batch but they get lost in this huge jar.I found this peppermint star to put on my "kitchen tree".  And this cute little angel - she is a bobble head.Dave and I are going out New Year's Eve.  The first time in quite a while.  I found this dress for a really good price.  Can't Wait!I was in Kohl's doing some last minute shopping and found this little turtle for my co worker that we gave the live turtle from Myrtle Beach last summer.  Plus I found some really good buys on candles.  I love candles, especially these cake/yummy treat scents.  Most of them were $3.95.This is Birthday Cake - poor picture.  It smells just like a birthday cake and it has sprinkles on top.  Maybe I will light it on Dave's birthday.  Since we will be traveling on his birthday I will have to make him a cake later.Cinnamon sprinkled on top.A cherry in this candle.  Burning this one now and it smells delish!So I am stocked up for quite a while.  We are going to snuggle up by the fire and watch "Survivor" which we taped last night.  Plus watch the snow!
