All sorts of stuff

Jumpin right in on the stuff...

Here is how I display my cards.

Hang thick ribbon. Then hang cute cards with mini clothespins.

I didn't have enough room to hang all the cards and I ran out of clothespins.

First come, first serve.

(check out the cute little elf)

Our tree.

Totally lame and plain but I like it. Decided to not put on any ornaments. Except for a few jingle bells. Pretty much my best idea EVER. We went to a friend's house and he managed to break several ornaments. I even broke one trying to put one back on their tree.

Side counter in our kitchen. Complete with a little hot chocolate bar. I have hot chocolate pretty much every night during the Winter. I got all sorts of flavors.

Raspberry, Tiramisu, Mexican Chocolate, Hazelnut, etc.

Three little frames. One says "Our First Christmas Together". The other is Liam's first visit with Santa and the other is of our doggie.

Last but not least. I rec'd a little treat from Life With Our Brown Eyed Girls

It says "The Fabulous Mrs. Fitz"

On the base it says "AKA Liam's Mom"

Isn't the cutest! Love it! Thanks so much Mrs. D.

Merry Christmas everyone!

Huge news, people. HUGE

I prayed for this day. I even called my sister and cousin to brag. Because I am nice like that.

These are going buh-bye! Yup, getting packed away.

Look at all the counter space I get back.

We've been trying these out for a while. He seems to like them all.


Look at my big boy.

I feared the absence of the night time bottle. But so far, so good!

Catalogs

While thumbing through http://www.basbleu.com/. I saw a few things that I think Casey should invest in for all the cats in her life...alive or otherwise.

My favorite....

they need to start pulling their own weight!

Do you think of your friends and family while thumbing through catalogs?

I have been getting upteen catalogs a day and while I enjoy going through them it is quite a task? What are some catalogs you only get during the holidays? Do you get "regular" ones?

My regulars are: Pottery Barn, Ballard Design, and Williams Sonoma. Occasionally, I'll get Oriental Trading or James Avery. During the holidays I get Bas Bleu and kid stuff like Sensational Beginnings, and One Step Ahead. I did get the Discovery Channel Store catalog and there is some cool stuff in there.

How cute is this shirt?

Meeting Santa 2010

Last weekend we went to the Fort Worth Club for Pancakes with Santa. I went for the mimosas, bloody marys and the breakfast buffet! They always have a huge spread and this was no different!

We decided to have our picture taken first b/c I am a not about to have a pancake faced little boy in his cute monogram shirt meet Santa. While we waited I may have indulged in a few adult beverages....the long was long peeps...don't judge!

Then these dudes showed up and I thought I was trippin.

Excuse me, are you on the list?

What? Do I have something on my face?

(See why we did pics first!)

After breakfast we hit up the little petting zoo.

L, pet the damn chicken!

Then, I finally got a mother/son pic. My first response after downloading it....I guess he does look like me!

And...the Santa Pic...
