Christmas Review

By December 27, all the Christmas decorations were GONE, but I did decorate the mantle for winter/New Year.

Gotta love the 1/2 off day after Christmas sales. I'm also loving my new Xyron sticker machine!! (thanks, Mee and Pee)

Some clearance stuff and a Graphic's Fairy New Year postcard---LOVE the Graphic Fairy!

More cheapo decor. The paper tree is from Goodwill.

I think it all looks very Mad Men, NY apartment vintage

OK, so we spent a few days over Christmas at our SUMMER home. The kids just did not know what to do with the snow all over. They're used to SUMMER here. Brett just could not let the opportunity pass him by, so he got on his suit and ran around, pretending it was July. This shot is right before I shut the door and locked him out....you think he'd KNOW by now.

Lili's excitment upon receiving her TV so she can "watch tv stations in my room". Her favorite channel? The 24 hour local weather station.

Brett's excitement upon receiving his netbook.

Between those 2 gifts, we haven't seen our kids once since December 25th.....

Rocco and Lola's Christmas portrait.

This is seriously going to be my Christmas card next year. I absolutely LOOOOOOVE it!!

We all had yet another wonderful, warm Christmas spent with family.

I can't believe it's only Lili's 4th Christmas with us. I can't imagine what we did all those other times. Speaking of which, this year marked Jeff and my TWENTIETH Christmas together. Geez Louise, how is that possible? I've now had as many Christmases with him as I did before him. Yowza. Kinda creepy, isn't it?

Now comes the time to mourn football season nearing its end and to wait impatiently for spring to come and turn into summer. Hey, only about 6 more months and I get to wear flip flops again!! Woo Hoo!
