The super awesome card my sister and her family sent me for my birthday!

I told the hubs that I just needed a shot of tequila with it! ; )

This was actually take for my SEVENTH day of Christmas along w/another picture with a completely different theme...and then I realized I already had seven!!! AHHHH! So now I'm wracking my brain for EIGHT!

My sweet boy! He got a surgeon's dress up thing and absolutely LOVES it! He's barely taken it off and he's even slept in it!!! <3 He's having a minor 'surgery' on Wednesday and he's said he wants to wear it so he can be just like the doctor! 

Just a little creative shot...

STRAWBERRIES!!

I am making a Strawberry-Jack ((jack as in monterey jack cheese...NOT Jack Daniels)) Salad for tonight's RSS Christmas Party.

This is an absolutely delicious salad and one I love to make for get togethers!

glazed pecans

and sliced strawberries

served with a homemade poppy seed dressing!!

I wish my SISTER a VERY *happy* birthday, I love you and miss you!!

Christmas is SO much fun when it comes to photography!

I decided I'd join in on the "Twelve Days of Christmas"...it's fun and it'll give me a chance to get creative! ; )

My how fast they grow...

This is the little guy I photographed a few months back when he was 2 months old!

They absolutely grow so fast and this little one just gets cuter by the day! I snapped a couple while they were here for a playdate...couldn't resist!! ; )

'Tis the Season!

To DECK the halls! My FAVORITE time of year! Time with family and friends, visiting and catching up...laughter, happiness and yuuuuuumy food! ; )

I *LOVE* red on a tree...as if you couldn't tell. I usually ALWAYS have the SAME tree every year but I love it.

[ignore that dark spot ; ) I have to fill that in somehow]

Hope everyone has a safe and blessed holiday season!
