Final Christmas dump

I'm packing away the last of the Christmas decorations, finally admitting that the hubs does have to work and can't permanently be on vacation, and doing a final Christmas dump on the ol' blog. After this, it's time to move on. If I don't the retail shops will have Easter out before I've even entered January.

Here's a few more shots from Christmas in Houston:

Cupcake had no problem opening gifts this year:


She also likes to be in charge. See her finger? She is saying "No, no doggy" Just like her Gigi, she runs a tight ship with the pets.



Luckily even with presents, relatives, trees, and more she still loves to "nuggle mommy" which means snuggle with mommy. :)


Pac-man went Santa Baby style


So did cupcake:
When we came home we did our own family (meaning the three of us) Christmas. Even though cupcake had no problem opening gifts it was overwhelming everything beyond the first 2. We were thankful we had the foresight to stretch it out. Her surprise from Mommy and Daddy was a slide. I'm still not sure who the present was really for because said slide has also bought Mommy and Daddy time to cuddle on the couch, drink hot chocolate, and talk while cupcake fully exhausts herself going up and down, round and round, taking dolls and friends down too. It's a win-win.



On that note, Happy New Year to all!

We're a few days into our 28 Day Challenge which is NOT a New Year's resolution and is NOT a diet. It is a whole body cleanse. Chris keeps saying we are eating "garden-y" food but honestly we're all loving it. I sure miss cheese and chocolate but in 28 days I am guessing there will still be plenty of opportunities to eat either if I do so still desire. Bear with me in the coming days as I post a little on the challenge. I'm sure most of you don't care to see pictures of our "garden-y" food. But there are some that do and for those...I have something better coming down the pipe for you :)

So cute, Karen! My three have those pj's too! Happy New Year to you guys and good luck with the "not diet" ;-) You'll have to let me know how it goes - I've been debating a cleanse lately.

Oh my! the matching pj's are too cute. Cupcake looks like such a little girl pointing and talking to the family dog. Your crafts are amazing. You really transformed princess house to an adorable pet shop. No wonder pac man loves it. I meant to tell you that Grandma loved the advent book you made her. She shared it with the staff and took it to dinner to show what her grandaughter-in-law could do. Thanks for the pics. Love, Sally
