Ice Cold!

 Baby, it's cold outside! 

We got ice overnight! You can't see it in the yard but this is a shot of my driveway. And that's as close to outside as I'm getting!

I don't think anything else is going to fall but temps are not getting out of the twenties so it's not going to melt. Took this through the side door. Nothing moving out there. I've only seen two cars out so far.

Since I don't have any new stitching pics and my house is like a dust bowl, how about a few pictures from Christmas? Abigail got to meet her great-grandpa.

Aunt Brittany

and Uncle Brian

River just wasn't quite sure what to do so papa sr  (my brother is pawpaw so daddy is papa sr) and Kaitlyn helped him out a bit.

Ain't she sweet?

This was last weekend - she's growing too fast! Unintentional 'matching' shirts! 

Hope y'all are keeping warm!

It's past time

 It's past time that I pop in and say Happy New Year!

It's also past time that I take down my limited Christmas decorations.

I'm working on taking down what is inside today and hubby is planning to do the outside this weekend, if the weather allows. It's super windy right now and we are expecting 'winter weather' over the weekend. At the very least, the lights will get unplugged.

I only put up the two small trees again

(second year in a row)

This is the fireman tree.

Looks like its leaning but it's really not.

Hopefully next year I can get the big tree up again.

This one usually gets the ornaments that the boys left behind 

but I put the handmade ornaments on it again this year.

There are two new, non hand made, ornaments that were added

and they are the best ones!

He loves his baby sister!

I love that you can just pull pictures off of you tube

and turn the tv into art.

I thought I had a picture of my mantle on this computer but I guess not.

It's basically the same as last year.

I did put the little tree in the master bedroom. 

I have a few pictures from Christmas day but I'll share those later so this doesn't get too long.

Can't leave without a picture of baby girl.

That's it from here for today - 

time to get busy!
