Semi-Wordless Christmas......

It's been crazy around here.... I'm on vacation this week which totally rocks my socks off.  I love not having anything to do this week besides take the Christmas tree down and clean up around the house.  I can sleep in (and not feel guilty), play with my pups, and workout whenever I want to.  Oh yes and make sure dinner is ready when Bill gets home from the gym :)

Christmas was awesome at the compound!  Shall we review in pictures?  They speak louder than words anyway...

  4. That is just awesome. And BTW - Love the new header.

    Love Pappy....I want to meet him.

    Aren't those oreo truffles to die for. Had to tell Karen to remove them from the premises pronto otherwise I would be the Stay-Puft Marshmallow Man during the next holiday parade.

  6. Rach - let me know when you want the recipe - they are super easy!!!

    Big Clyde - it was hilarious! She kept yelling "DONUTS!" but it was making her smile and so it made me smile :)

    Jess - the pj's are super comfy - I would have stayed in them all christmas day and we not had to split time with Bill's fam.

    Jason - you inspired my header - and by inspired, I mean I totally stole it.

    Craig - INDULGE - 'tis the season after all!

  7. There's a lot of cuteness in that house.

    Oreo truffles? My box must've gotten lost in the mail. ;-)
