As our year comes to an End...

Audra is the Big Reader here in our house and ZOE (6 months old) thinks that's just dandy.

Fresh color & a New Hair Cut to ring in the New Year!

My Christmas Gift from Louis (the phone), from Audra (the case)
& from Jared (much needed, Tech Support)

Post Christmas Gift to myself...a charging station & home for my new toy.

 

Playing with a Photo App on my new I Phone
...Zoe lets me take her picture with a little less complaint than some of the others around here...

Grateful for a life well lived in 2011

Blessed by Family & Friends

Merry! Merry!!



ZOE's 1st Christmas

...And In The Morning, I'm making Waffles!

Delightful December Days

Zoe is enjoying most sunny afternoons at our neighborhood dog park

 

 

An evening to exchange Gifts & Celebrate Friends!

My Good Things

Cookie Exchange & Christmas Gift Swap

Party Night...

Here's a look at what I brought to the evening

A bit of the fun & frolic with friends

Always a Delightful December Date

Decorating...Baking...

The hustle & bustle of the

Christmas Season is upon Us...



It took a week of unpacking & arranging,
to cheerfully adorn our abode...

...so now, our stockings are hung by the chimney, with care...

...and the kitchen is a place of of joyful activity...



I've already managed to compose, address & post our Holiday Greetings.

And Audra attended her Junior Ball.

What a fun filled (& productive) weekend we've had...

Now it's time to sit back & relax with a little eggnog.

(or maybe I should finish shopping for gifts and get them wrapped?)

December's Here...so I've been a busy girl!

My 1st job was to put up my little champagne tinsel tree in the livingroom

Next was time to pick out a Fresh tree for the Diningroom

It looked LITTLE at the tree lot, but it doesn't look too small in our house

Taking a FUN break from decorating to craft with my girlfriends

But 10 boxes await my attention...
I wonder if I can get some help from Audra?

I know...I'll bake instead!
My pick for this year's cookie exchange is a
Crystallized Ginger & Molasses cookie 

And since the sun was shining, I swept up outside...
but Zoe felt that she must sit IN THE PILE of leaves while I worked

And then she decided it was a perfect BED.

So, maybe I'll just decorate our Christmas Tree tomorrow?
