Eat Ice cream for Breakfast

It was "Eat Ice cream for Breakfast" day so our local ice cream shop served waffles with maple ice cream and maple syrup. It was amazingly yummy.

You've Got Mail

My JJILL order came today and it is pure loveliness. I can't wait to try it all on. The best part was the huge huge discount I got on everything and paid for it with a giftcard, sweet!

First Light

Hot cranberry scones just out of the oven waiting for all the kids and grandkids to arrive for the day to begin. I love the early morning with my cup of coffee and yummy smells to just sit and take in the silence and reflect on what christmas is truely about, the birth of my Savior. Soon the house will fill with squeals and laughter and rude comments( it's not all tinsel and mistletoe) and the day will take on a life of it's own. But for now I will soak in the silence and remember the story of that first Christmas morning. Merry Christmas to you all!

Suprise

My son came by with a beautiful bunch of flowers for me. Blew mw away. Thanks Ryan for thinking of me.

YUM!

Sunday Brunch at Lapellah was so yummy. We have never been there before but I got a potabella mushroom and spinach scramble and it wS delish. We will be back for sure.

Tuba Christmas Concert

I am sitting in Pioneer Square in downtown Portland listening to over 200 tubas. Really amazing!

December Daily

Yesterday, My friend Karin had a bunch of friends over to create a December Daily album.  It was a lot of fun and I was surprised at how far I got in putting it together but Karin had lots of papers and doodads to choose from that made it really easy.  I am looking forward to chronicling my days in December which is only three days away, OH MY!

Basically, we made a page layout for each day in December and will put a picture and journal what we do each day of the month.  You could add ticket stubs and other memorabilia too.  If you want other ideas you can go to the link above.  There are even kits at the link above if you are so inclined.  I did mine in a small three ring binder but you could make your own album if you want.  Anything works.  I hope I can remember to keep up with it once I get busy celebrating the holiday.  I will try and post my pages here too.
