The Day After ~

While many of you are busily putting away your Christmas decorations until next year, this is the time I get to sit back and finally enjoy mine.

 

Christmas Day was wonderful.  Jake at age 10, was probably more excited than I had ever seen him.  He usually does not spend Christmas day with us, but this year he was here in the early afternoon.  I don't often post a picture of me, but I had to share this one with my #2 son (Jake's dad), Jake and me.  The shirt would not be my normal Christmas day attire, but my nephew-in-law in Chicago saw this shirt and thought I had to have it, so he Fed Ex'd it to me to arrive in time.  How could I not wear it?  Thanks, Michael, for thinking of me :)

The amount of presents under the tree for so few people is sinful, but every year I tend to overindulge.  What would it look like if I had more than one grand?  More siblings here on Christmas Day (there was only one here)?  Or more DSOs?  (Just kidding on the DSOs.)

 

 

I must share my birdbath.  There is a local man who does stone carving.  I've bought a few items from him in the past.  When asked what I wanted for Christmas, one of my requests was a birdbath.  DSO had one made especially for me.  Isn't it just too cool?

 

 

This is so wrong, but I'm lovin' it!  As with many of you, we are having unseasonably warm weather.  In fact, our December may be the warmest on record.  This primrose was blooming in my yard ~ ON CHRISTMAS DAY :)

 

 

I've pulled a few loops on my little snowman mat.  I'll share my progress in my next post.

 

I hope everyone had the Christmas of their dreams.

Thanks so much for stopping by.

Pug hugs :)
