My favorite things.... :)

Saturday afternoon looked like this:)

We gathered the kids and dogs and

drove our old gal to the beach and topped her with our Christmas

tree. We took over a gazillion family pics, and thank the heavens

ONE turned out for our Christmas card or heads were gonna roll.

As I'm sure you all have experienced, getting a family and

3 dogs to all cooperate is...well...super fun!

I think the ions were helpful in keeping my meltdowns to a minimum.

Sunday afternoon looked like this.

I turned on some Christmas tunes and tackled the bins.

I put out all my favorite things.

This house is small and can look cluttered easily, so a whole lot

of my Christmas stuff stayed in the bins.

This pom pom garland from my friend Melanie is just the cutest ever.

She made it, and I love it!

This sweet little angel who over the years lost her wings, belonged to

my hubby's grandma. She's one of my most favorite things.

Speaking of angels and favorite things...

This is last night. 

House clean, laundry done, roast in the oven and a little Ina.

My favorite favorite thing:)
