Christmas Recap

Yes, I am probably the slowest blogger around finally posting about Christmas! Sorry about that to you faithful readers (anybody still out there ... Bueller, Bueller???). So, without further dinking around by me, here are a few scenes from Christmas.

Hanging her stocking!

A fave above -- Maddy and Cboo thanking each other for the cool gifts!

Santa visited a neighbor's house and met all the children! He posed for a photo with Mr. Tennis and noted that Mr. Tennis had represented him in a case in years past!

What??? Santa was involved in a legal proceeding??? Probably a parking ticket for double-parking the reindeer somewhere!

Opening one gift after Mass on Christmas Eve!




Christmas Day and Maddy got a Mickey Mouse snowglobe! So cute and the start of a fun collection, I'm sure!

Cboo got some cool new shades!

Muffy modeling her Christmas collar! She loved it --NOT!

She tried chewing it up immediately after pictures were taken!

Think all 3 were getting tired of picture-taking!

We celebrated with Philip, Catherine and Janie a few days after Christmas! Loads of fun to see them and see Miss Janie trying to walk! Unfortunately, my camera was misplaced during most of their visit. Will try to nab some from their FB and post later! :)

Happy New Year!

We spent the evening with a friend and

most popular blogger - Jodee and her sweet family!

More on that later -- at the rate I'm going -- probably February!! :)

A Quick Update!

While I planned to get lots of blog-reading and blogging done over the holidays, it clearly hasn't happened. Remember how I thought how my new Black Friday laptop would make me a speed-demon on blogland and I would be blog-hopping and posting like crazy? Well, not so much. The laptop is a bit different (duh) than a desktop, and it's taking me some time to get used to it and the keyboard, etc. So, basically, I'm slower than ever!!

Laptop stuff aside, we had a wonderful holiday. Made up luminaries on Christmas Eve to light in the evening. Our street has the most beautiful glow -- it's so special. We spent Christmas Eve and Christmas with Cboo and Maddy, visited my dear sweet parents on the 26th and had Christmas with Philip, Catherine and Janie on the 28th. We are spreading out the joy and it has been fun! Would post tons of photos, but I didn't get many and, oh yeah, haven't figured out how to get the photos from my camera to the laptop! (Another big duh, for me, eh!).

Miss Muffy, our Scottie, had a great Christmas too! She's enjoying staying home with us this week out of puppy daycare. At least, I think she's enjoying it! :) However, the yard is taking a beating. You know those little solar lights you might have in your yard? We had some --had being the operative word as she has pulled them out and chewed up whatever she can. Yes, I am buying her some more outdoor toys! She's also chewed up mulch, torn apart tennis balls and hunted down squirrels -- I'd say she's having fun!


We are looking forward to all the possibilities and promise of the new year!

Even though it's an odd-numbered year (not generally my faves),

I think 2011 will be fabulous!

Happy New Year!
