Sad that it's over.....

Kyser our 9 & 1/2 yr.old Weimerainer waiting to open some presents on Christmas @ our house!!! ~*~

Jason & Megan Christmas 2010 @ Mom & Dad's house

I hope you all had a very Merry Christmas ~ It was a very nice weekend, an extra layer of snow fell Christmas morning :) , but now I always get sad that it is over. Soon, I will take down all the decoartions & lights that I just love looking at & the house will seem so bare, but believe me it is far from it ~ hee,hee. I just love this whole season......the warmth & closeness you feel I wish would last all year long!!!

This Christmas was more quaint than the past, but extra special all the same as Granny has done very very after having her bypass surgery in late Aug., but now my Pap has a hernia ( his 4th ) & will need surgery as well, it is always something to worry about, they are both in a lot of pain, but every holiday spent w/ them is a blessing :)

Then we traveled a few miles down the road to my Grandma's old house ( she has now passed a few years back & my uncle lives there ), we stayed a short time, just not the same anymore, came back had a few drinks & snacks..played games & went to bed waiting for Santa to come.

Got an early gift just like when we were little he left us new jammies!!! It is an ongoing joke we have & this year my sister & I were kidding we wanted new jammies on Christmas eve & there they were left outside!!! My dad, he is a real kid at heart too, love him so much!!! He picked out the brighest ones he could find my Mom said :)

Woke up Christmas morning to open presents w/ my family then had dinner @ Granny & Pap's then headed home around 6:00 to have our Christmas at our home just Jason & I w/ our dog Kyser too of course he got presents!!!

We hope you day was filled w/ lots of special family memories & a couple great gifts too & of course taking the time to " Remember the Reason for the Season "

Blessings till next time ~

It's almost here........

Wow ~

I can't believe it is almost Christmas...it seems like December just flies by ~ I will be spending a good part of the week wrapping gifts, doing a little baking, ( and sampling of course ) , as well as stitching up a couple special little gifts as I always do for a few loved ones :)

On saturday night, we decided to have a "date night" granted there are just the 2 of us & our weimer Kyser, so we go out quite often, but we wanted to go somewhere a little different for dinner & further away so we called & made reservations & the little waitress set us up in our own private dining room!!! It was so sweet, she didn't even know how to light an oil lamp, but she did her best, & it was so nice after the smoke cleared,( hee~hee ) I have included a pic of their "famous" gob cake sundae & it was good......wish I had another bite this morning!!

Enjoy the day.....

I have been BUSY.....

I have been living up to my " stitchinthedayaway" name this past week or so that is for sure....... I purchased the new " Home for Christmas" pattern book from Stacy Nash & here is a little sampling of my finished products so far !! Very time consuming, but well worth it :)
It is so dreay & rainy here this week & still too early to decorate the inside of the house for Christmas so I've been busy stitchin.....last weekend we got the outside lights all hung since the weather was so nice, but they won't go on till after Thanksgiving!
Enjoy the day ~*~

If you are interested in anything.....feel free to ask!! I take special orders ~*~

Happy Veterans Day.......

Taking this day to proudly remember all those who have served & are currently serving to protect us all & keep us free everyday!!! We are all so thankful & grateful for the sarcrifices ~

My hubby was in the Navy for 10yrs. before deciding to seperate & now is employed w/ the VA hospital ~*~

We'll be spending the day together taking advantage of this "indian summer" & doing some outdoor decorating for Christmas.....I know it is early, but I can't stand doing it when it is freezing & your hands go numb, just not so fun!! I will be tempted to light it up, but will wait till after Thanksgiving.....

God Bless America ~

Ready for the Weekend :)

Hey everyone ~

I hope you had a nice week,,,,,sure seemed to go pretty quick?? Jason is doing much better, still sore & taking it easy. Defiantly don't want him to think he is healed then reinjuire himself so I have to keep reminding him of that when he tries to push it ~

We are supposed to see a little snow tomorrow.....yep, it is that time of year again!! Only some flurries, but still snow :) I'm alwasy excited to see it flying around out there as long as I don't have to drive in it !!!! Next week it will be back around 56 or so for now......

Here's a pic of a sampler I stitched up over the past couple days......I love it!!! A new pattern from Pineberry Lane .......think I may be keeping this one :)

Till next time......
