Christmas Countdown - 2013

[Christmasstar]

I've spent the last hour going through cookbooks trying to find some new recipes for Christmas. I can't find anything that everyone in my family will eat though. I know I'm picky when it comes to meat but that is nothing compared to the rest of the family. So I guess it's back to the same old stuff again.

I wass doing the same thing ealier, tired of bring the same thing every year.
Ours is pot luck, so hopefully someone will eat what I bring.

How do Snowball & Kylee like the snow? Do they run & play in it?!

Harlowe loves the fluffy, white snow!

So happy for you that your dream has become a reality- have fun in the snow with your boys!

Aww, that is sweet. Glad they are having fun it it!

Yes, we have some snow, and more coming this weekend! But not near as much as you guys.
The cold weather is especially brutal, for it being so early. Getting down to -13 tonight! High of 0 tomorrow...brrr!

Hey everyone! Is everyone else freezing their beeehinds off? Oh wow that 15 inches of snow we received last week is not going anywhere!! Right now at 2 pm it is 18F tonight is getting down to 5F with wind chills in the -10's!! Yikes! I love it though. Sunday I lost my power during the Christmas party and it was off until Monday morning. I had just the fireplace so I slept in the living room in front of it in a sleeping bag. Brandi and the kids fly home Friday and I think they are seeing some snow in Boston today... I hope everyone is keeping warm!! DId I say I love the winter?? this makes Christmas 100 times better than being 75F in Dec.! Have a good afternoon all!

It sounds like you are totally enjoying it! Sounds beautiful! Gotta love sleeping in front of the fire. ENJOY!!!

I am starting to feel a bit better, thank you for asking!

I've been writing Christmas cards & resting today

What's new with you?

Hugs to you & Buster!!

Hopefully by this time of night you are feeling even better. There's not much new around here - I guess newest thing is being down to 1 dog again. LOL! Except for my lunch hour dog sitting (taking the Golden doodle puppy out across the street) - she is so sweet. I could take her home! Anything new with you? I hope Harlowe is doing well!!!

Have a wonderful time seeing TSO! I would love to see them someday. I'm sure it's an amazing show.

Praying for your FIL for his surgery and a speedy recovery.

Oh wow I am so jealous!! The men who created TSO are from here and used to have their opening tour date here at the Lakeland Center every year. My parents and we would all go together. It was like the start of our Christmas season.

Then the Lakeand center started charging TSO too much and they bailed. Now they have concerts in Tampa and Orlando, but not here. My mom doesn't like traveling even a small distance so we don't go anymore. I would, but then I feel guilty going without them. But I have all the CDs, digitals and DVDs. LOL

Hope you have an amazing time!

Praying for your FIL!

Holiday- Praying for your FIL. Have fun at the TSO concert!!!!

I will keep your FIL in my prayers. I hope the surgery goes well.
Have fun at the concert tomorrow!

Thanks for all the prayers for my FIL & also the fun wishes for the TSO concert. I'm so excited especially since we didn't go last year.
Graywolf - that is a bummer they aren't in your area anymore. I have never been disappointed by their show! Just hoping my hubby can go! He's not too optimistic!!!

 

[Holiday]

Goodnight, MMC! I will talk to you guys tomorrow! Enjoy the rest of your evening!

Beautiful!

Getting on here late today. As soon as I got up I started decorating. The tree looks a little weird because the lower 3rd has lights but no ornaments. 1 11 month old puppy and a 2 month old kitten... I thought it best to "baby proof" the tree. LOL It's okay because when we look at the pictures 3 three years from now it'll be, "Why does the tree look like that? Oh yeah... that's when Moose was a puppy!! Aaaaawwwww!!" LOL

I left to run an errand at noon. Got back at 1:15. Walk in the living room and notice an entire string of lights out on the base of the tree. Yes some od the new ones. At this point I'm turning into Ralphie's dad. Nadafinga!
I guess I should be grateful there were no ornaments so it was easy to pull the whole string off to find the problem. Oh... I found it. One kitten who has not touched the tree since he went base diving into it, grabbed the cord and chewed threw it. One bulb is completely MIA, green housing and all. I tried to strip the wires and reassemble, but it just wasn't working. I'll need to splice them. Soooo.. I went back to the store, got another set and put them on. I'll use the Frankenstein set for something elsewhere around the house. LOL

Have to pick up my MIL from the airport at 10pm, but till then it's all decorating.

Hope everyone else is having a great day!!

You sound so calm about the lights! :lol: You will have to post a pic of your tree when it's done - after all that work! Hope you are having a great night!

And I'm off to bed! Sleep tight everyone!

BAck to the real world tomorrow...at least for a week and a half...

Snow/ice is all gone and we return to work. It's gonna be a busy week and a half as we have finals coming up. Then it's another two week break...and it will be the Little Bambina and me, at home alone, for two weeks. Excited about that.

We decided tonight that we would go and buy groceries and do all of our Christmas shopping this week. It's going to be a long Saturday, but we will get it all done in a day. It will be worth it when it's over. i'd like to go Friday night and Saturday, but we will see.

Hope everyone is doing great! See ya tomorrow!

Not really! Just trying to keep up with Christmas cards, baking, shopping, etc.!

We wait for so long for this time of year, and then it just goes too quickly.

Glad you are having fun with the sweet puppy

Har is great! Minus the crazy cold temps.

How is Buster?

Well I think I am about to curl up in front of the fireplace with snowball and Kylee and watch some hallmark movies! It's 12F outside right now...I had some pork roast and stuffing I made really quick when I got home from work. I have about a week left until Christmas break. I can't wait to be able to sleep in and play in the snow with the kids Christmas time...it's like a dream I've had for a few years to be able to do that. It's the simplest things in life like snow at Christmas when you never had it before...living in the south a lot of my life I only remember one Christmas when I was 14 in 1989 we had a freak storm that gave us a few inches the day before xmas eve and stayed on the ground 3 days...I will never forget that Christmas ever! Well I better go...I will talk to yall later have a great evening everyone!

LOL I remember that!! Snowed in Orlando that Christmas too though only for a few hours and nothing stuck.

Happy for you!!
