Ten Things




Normally Emmy does this meme on the last Tuesday of the month, but with the holidays and being busy as we all have been, she waited til today.  So you haven't missed it and you can still play along.  It's a great way to look back and see the good that has been in your daily life.  I like to use my pictures as reference.  I am a very visual person.  And in looking at December I found there was much to smile about. So where do I begin!?

 Kristin looking so lovely for Winter Formal.  Even with a cast on!
Fall finally arrived
Ryan finally sat with Santa
Ryan's first school performance:  The Nutcracker.  He was an Arabian Dancer.  That's him with the yellow hat front and center!
seeing my nephew for the first time in 9 years!!
And the fact that Kristin remembers him!

Fake snow & a fantastic light display

This actually spans three houses.  It's quite spectacular complete with a synchronized show.
Learning a new photography trick.
Making cookies on Christmas Eve
Christmas!!
Smiles on Christmas morning!  Top:  Emily getting her Littlest Petshop Cruiser.  Left:  Ryan getting his skateboard and Right:  Kristin getting her "Jacob" blanket.  She may want to be buried with it!

New Year's Eve and all the silliness that ensued!  
Oh and then there was this little bit of happiness....

Since I didn't number these, I lost count.  I think I went over ten.  Some were grouped as one so maybe I don't have enough.  At any rate.  It was a great month with lots of happy memories.  What had you smiling in December?

What a wonderful month for you! I love that. And what is this I hear about not seeing your nephew in nine years? I think I would cry! It is hard living far from family, isn't it?

A Leave of Absence

Image
I just wanted let you all know that I am taking a (short) leave of absence. I was feeling under the weather last Friday, and Saturday I was a lump. By Monday I felt almost normal again. Tuesday even better! By Wednesday night the whole left side of my face felt completely packed. Today(Thursday) I am at death's door. Or maybe it's at mine! All I know is, I haven't felt this crappy in a long time. I spent the day at my mom's and mostly slept. Thanks Mom. Now Rich is home and he is running the show. I shall return...as soon as I stop feeling like this.

Dancing with the Stars---Dead

Image
That is how the show was introduced on Halloween night.  "Dead, from Hollywood, it's Dancing with the Stars!"  with your host, Tom Boooo-geron! Oh and Brooke who didn't get a play on her name.  Tonight, the dances are all spooktacularly themed.  Plus there is also a team dance. David and Kym 1-800-868-3406 David and Kym are dancing The Cha Cha and David wants to add magic to the act, so they bring in a professional magician to help with some basic tricks.  I enjoyed their Cha Cha.  It was fun. Len said it had  lots of tricks and treats and that David turned himself into a dancer! Bruno told him he has got the prestige, and that he was a natural at turning tricks. Carrie Ann said his improvement was phenomenal. She said he was polished and finessed, but that he needed to work on his holds. Scores: Carrie Ann:  8 Len: 8 Bruno: 8 Total: 24  JR and Karina 1-800-868-3410 JR and Karina are dancing the Tango to Ghostbusters. Why do they give such ch
