Little Black Dress

For Christmas, Paul decided he needed more curves in the house.

I call it his mistress.

When I can't find him at his usual places, I know he is with her. :)

Merry Christmas Paul!

Both of our loves in the same room.

A little Adventure

My toes look great.

I am smiling- can't you tell by the red polish?

I'd elaborate on what's really going on, but what fun would that be.

Those who know- shhH! and those who don't- Have a wonderful day and take care of your feet :)

Merry Christmas to All

Merry Christmas to all of our wonderful family and friends all around the world!

We hope today has been filled with love, happiness, joy, laughter, gratitude, and family.

We are so grateful for all the many wonderful memories we have of each of you- we look forward to many more.

Paul and I love our children. We are surrounded by joy and beauty.

I love my sweetheart- The greatest gift I've ever received.

God bless & Merry Christmas.

Love,

The Zoo

This is wonderful. Check it out. The Christmas Spirit

Hurricane Lilian

The aftermath of a perfect storm.

This is what you get when you add

- Laundry

- A very large box of shredded paper (Lilian thanks Grandpa Bob for this great blessing she received)

- And 5 minutes without mom supervising

This is just a small portion of the whole picture. This paper was throughout the whole main level just like the picture shows (living room, guest bedroom, kitchen, entry, dining room, hall and laundry room). I screamed and she?? She laughed.

Lord, was she like this in Heaven too?

A Few of My Favorite Things

(sing along! It's one of those Von Trapp moments that didn't make it in the movie. Okay, really I was just completely inspired by my above creation- the words just flowed LOL!)

My mom's sugar cookies and oodles of frosting...

Sugar and chocolate are all of them good things!

The guilt-free indulging I promise to me...

These are a few of my favorite things.

Old fashioned candy canes melt on my taste buds...

Life-savers, gum drops, and don't forget milk duds!

Arranged oh so pleasing- I love edible bling...

These are a few of my favorite things.

Windows of fudge and an M&M pathway...

I eat fantabulous truffles & divinity all day.

A plethora of sprinkles on sweet angel wings...

These are a few of my favorite things!

When the scale soars!

When my pants squeeze!

When reality sets in.

I simply remember my favorite things

and then I don't feel chagrined!
