Like Mother Like Daughter

I had to smile today! I was looking at some old pictures from our cruise, when I came upon this photo....

And here comes the LAUGH.... My toe and Christy's toe bend in the same way! Like Mother like Daughter!

Angel Meets Santa

Angel and I went on a quest and found SANTA!

omg, she is so excited! Although she has everything she needs and wants, she just had to see the Jolly old elf!

An Afternoon with Friends!

An afternoon with friends is always nice, however this one was extra special.
We were all invited over to Steve's to help him decorate his tree!
What a nice time.... lots and lots of laughs and a bit of holiday spirit...
OMG, can we do this again tomorrow??
Thanks to all the hubbies behind the camera for taking the pictures!

THREAD!

Everything seemed so HARD today! At work my computer just would not co-operate. I had to reboot more then a couple times! I could not get voicemail, my customers were unavailable, even the dogs seemed extra needy! Then I went to the bank (inside a grocery store) this evening and it was PACKED, like they were giving food away. I had to park as far away as I think I ever have. Then it all makes sense, the teller...tells me its a FULL MOON!

ahhhh.... I realize, its not me...its the poser of the universe! I get home and I meet the UPS man and he brings my LONG AWAITED THREAD!!! I am so excited about this! You see I am creating gifts, and I was in need of more thread!

So although I am still experiencing lots of technical issues...(and YES I had to reboot yet again to upload my images and post my blog.)

However...I have thread and I can slowly make (sew) my way towards Christmas!

The First Snow!

Angel's first experience with SNOW!

Hopefully there will be MUCH MORE to enjoy this winter!

The snowy nose makes me smile!

Slowing Down to Visit Friends

With Thanksgiving just days away, everyone is rushing around. Shopping, traveling, cooking, cleaning and so much more. However today I was blessed with a moment in time to slow down and forget the hustle bustle of the days ahead, to spend time with some work friends! It was great to see some friends that have moved to other places and I have missed for a while, as well as friends I work with day to day. We had lots of laughs, and stories to tell. Some catching up and some networking too. It was great that someone took the annotative to put the event together! I cant wait to do it again!

Sweet, Quiet, Joy!

My joy came tonight with my husband in in a quiet gentle way. We relaced in the hot tub after sunset, and talked about the up coming holidays, the house, and the family. It we nice to relax and enjoy eachother's company. Sometimes the quiet stillness brings the sweetest joy!
