Our Santa Adventure.....

I was very sad that our Santa had moved on. His health isn't well and he went to be with his family in Ontario. Yes. I'm selfish. Yes. I want our Santa back.

However, his helper, the replacement, was actually quite good also.

So, after over an hour in line, this is what we got. (For $20, a very poor quality photo!)

And every year I take some with my own camera of Santa and Liv looking at each other,

and another with him tickling her

and then a nice one.

AND, when we got home, look what was in my mailbox!

It's my cushion cover from Lilly's trip to Thailand!! Isn't it beautiful?? Thank you Lilly!!

And I'm happy to report that Flat Stanley arrived at Lilly's safe and sound and will be spending Christmas with her family in Australia!

I have a wonderful Christmas video for you all for tomorrow. It is a fun and meaningful little jingle that I hope you will all come back to see!

Go and see Angie over at 7 Clown Circus for more Wordful Wednesday!

A little about me....

Okay, first off, I am married to Leon and have three "delightful" daughters and an English Mastiff named Ringo.

You will notice that I have put delightful in quotations. That is because I have a mood-swinging, my-friends-are-smarter-than-you 15 year old, a 12 year old tween, who is just beginning to do everything her older sister does that makes us want to jump off a bridge and put ourselves out of our misery, and a 5 year old who is learning from them both. Thankfully the 5 year old, while ornery, loud, spoiled and a thumb-sucker, still loves us and thinks that we are smarter and way cooler than everyone but the 15 year old.

I photograph weddings whenever I possibly can, work for a fabulous group of pharmacists in one of our local hospitals, for a regular, although not so great, paycheck.

I love to read, play Farkle on Facebook, and have developed a passion for soccer.

I totally suck.

But I love to play. It helps me to not gain weight quite as fast as if I weren't playing it at all.

My life, which route I take, and how fast I wake up in the morning all depends on how badly I want a slurpee and a chocolate bar. If I am registering at "Holy Mother of God! I NEED sugar!" on my gauge, then you would be wise to just get the heck out of my way. I've got places to go (the store), people to see (the local cashier specifically), and sugar to ingest ... PRONTO!

Speaking of which.....
