Baby Jesus. . .nope it's just Lily!

Lily goes to the spa while Oakley and Cooper get nestled in their beds.
We were missing Todd's kids this year. . they were with the
inlaws or the outlaws can't remember which

I would like to thank my sweet sister, Telese for the luxurious coat. I received this gift at Thanksgiving time but had special permission to wear it since I have been living at the equator previous to my Boise residence. You don't need coats at the equator!

Nothing like getting a good pair of slippers for Christmas, who would have thunk!

This year as always there were some fine handmade gifts. Tara is in love with "long boards," and for those of you who don't know, long boards are really long skateboards basically. So, Mike, her husband, decided to make one out of an old waterski, on which he himself had learned to waterski. All hail to Cypress Gardens...it's the Big'n!

We all got a turn, even if it was just in the entryway:)

Lily was the Christmas Delight this year. Pointing and being so sassy, she did her job well. We miss you 3, if only Pennsylvania was right next to Idaho!

Oh, how is miss our times together in Houston!!

Christmas Elves

It's amazing what you find when you open a Christmas box from the garage. There was the nativity scene and then all of these elves. . .trolls. Pieces of my youngest sister's lives. . .someone had a troll fetish!!

If you ask anyone if it snows in Idaho they will say yes...now mind you, not as much on the western side of the state as they get on the eastern side but none-the-less it does snow here and according to the recent weather report we will see temperatures dip to 5 and 10 degrees in the next couple of days. Gonna need some boots to stay warm.
