A little of this and a little of that

Well I am late with Christmas and here it is New Year's Eve but I guess better late than never.

So....

Let me start out by saying that I want to

 "WISH EVERYONE A HAPPY, HEALTHY AND PROSPEROUS NEW YEAR."

Now... Christmas 2011

We were in Lancaster, PA...up north hoping for a little snow to make the holiday bright.

No such luck. We even went further north to pick up my Mother in-law and still no snow.

I know...who wants snow...

Well I do for the holidays. Let's face it, all the Christmas movies with Santa and the North Pole there is SNOW.

Daughter had a lovely tree and their home was decorated so cute.

There were so many gifts that they had to put some by the one wall. After all there were 7 adults, 1 child and 3 dogs. Yes...we are "those" people that get each other's dogs gifts...don't judge.

Christmas morning is not complete unless there are pictures in your PJs and a hot drink (or princess in your hand).

The gang (remember it is morning so no one has cleaned up except my MIL)

Funny story...my MIL comes down in this Chinese robe...it was tied shut and she walks over to my granddaughter and says, "Come here granny has something for you to touch." Of course we all had panicked looks on our faces thinking....WHAT! My MIL is a young 91 but we thought she had lost it...really. Hesitantly our little gal went over and as my MIL started to open her robe and we were ready to grab the child before her eyes were permanently scarred, my MIL took her hand to have her feel the silk of the robe. Whew! Now that just goes to show where our minds were.

Next up...

Sometimes we give one person a scavenger hunt to find one of their gifts, this year it was me.
