Oh and holy jingle bells - I didn't get sick! Thanks Little B for keeping my super-powered immune system nice and strong!
Pictures of our backyard looking so nice and pretty thanks to our yard guy & pool boy (Tim)!
Tim's Mom found this outdoor furniture at an Estate Sale last weekend and we're so glad she did! It's awesome!
Tucker enjoyed the backyard and some sunshine too!
Every year I try to find a way to display all of our Christmas cards (probably my favorite thing about Christmas) and this new addition to our holiday decoration has got me smiling daily! I love adding the cards that come in every day to the garland.
Here's what the toy chest is looking like these days. Just waiting for it to dry so that we can put it back together and see what else we want to add to it (if anything). I know that Tim's very excited to get it out of his garage.
Meet Tracy, Tim's new iphone! Yes that's right, he's named her. Between his old, nextel brick-style phone and his first edition blackberry, he deserves this step-up in technology.
Other Weekend Highlights:
*Tim's Brother and Brother's girlfriend arrived Sunday night from Virginia for a week of Christmas festivities!
** We went to a Christmas party on Saturday night of some friends that we know from the lake house. I always tease about crossing the line between how you know certain people and then getting to know them in other circumstances, especially when you start mixing lake life with real life in town. Turns out these folks are fun both at the lake and in town! Sometimes lake life and city life don't always mesh. There was a white elephant gift exchange and I lost the best Santa Hat that I'd ever seen, but on the upside, I got a pretty funny gift that I can regift at the next white elephant party that will be sure to cause some laughter!
***At the above mentioned Christmas party I was told that I was keeping my figure very well for being pregnant. I wasn't speechless (which never happens). The whole party came to an awkward silence and finally I think Tim said, "Thanks...I think" for the both of us. Everyone laughed and we were able to move along in the party.
****I think we've just about got all of our Christmas shopping done! Wahoo! There's just one more little thing that I need to get and it's pretty easy, so I won't be fighting any huge crowds. I'd like to go ahead and say that I'm very grateful for the invention of online shopping!
***** I've already said it once, but it's definitely a highlight: I didn't get sick and catch what Tim had earlier in the week. I was really worried. I'm not a good thrower-upper as it is, and mixing that with a belly and all does not sound like any fun at all!
