{HAPPY BIRTHDAY TAYLOR}

 My new years baby is 23 today.  Hope your birthday is as special (ed) as you are to me.  Wishing you a year of happiness, health and dreams come true.  Love you my sweet girl.

Spent a few days at Ish's in St. Louis.  Dad and Norene flew in from California, it was wonderful to see everyone and spend some time together at the holidays.  Ish totally outdid herself with the cooking, we ate so good.  I became the running joke that we hadn't ate in a least an hour!  Played games and chatted, it was a lot of fun.  Thanks to the Hoffs for hosting us.  Lets do it again next year!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

{MERRY CHRISTMAS}

Happy happy, merry merry.  Santa was here and Christmas was wonderful.   Taylor and Mike were greatly missed, next year guys.  Cody got  everything he wanted, including a new game, he's been up in his room playing all day, came down to eat, it was nice seeing him for 5 minutes.  Dad got me a new watch, pjs, and sweatsuite, thanks, your the best.  It's been a lazy day, warm outside, the sun came out this afternoon, watched Christmas movies and now its time to get ready to go to Ish's.  Hope everyone had a very Merry Christmas!

{SCENES FROM THE SEASON}

Christmas Eve, happy happy!  Some photos from the past few days.

{HAPPY FESTIVUS}

 
Happy Festivus!  Two day before Christmas and I am prepared!  Woohoo!  My gifts are bought, made, wrapped and under the tree.  The London Broil is marinating in the fridge, need to run out and get a few fresh things for the Christmas Eve feast and tackle some of the dust around here.  The snow if melting rapidly, its not so pretty any more, blobs of white stuff in the green grass.  Would of been nice if had stayed on the ground for a White Christmas but thats okay I don't want anymore to fall.  One good snow storm a year is good, were done! 

Here's some photos of Indie, he followed me out into the greenhouse to take pictures, wasn't sure what he thought of the white stuff, then jumped out the door and went on an adventure.  He liked it.  I had to chase him down in my Crocs and pjs, we both ended up with wet feet.

{MEET HANK}

Meet Hank.  Philip built this snowman on the chair on our front porch of all places.  Could he be anymore West Virginia-ish?  I have no idea what those green things are all stuck in his face and thats my gardening hat on his head.  I think he needs to be wearing a pair of blue jean over-alls, carrying a shotgun and driving a truck.  Hank is now a melting blob of snow now, poor guy. 

It got up to 50 degrees here today,  and it got like scary windy.  Don't know how high the wind gusts got but it was hurricane force, okay maybe not that bad, but it sure did seem like it.  Anyways the weather always make sure you got something to bitch about and what fun it life if you don't have something to bitch about.
