We're Home!


   Happy New Year!  Oh my goodness, I have missed all of you!  We just got back from Florida and after unpacking, doing some laundry and having a nice, long, hot shower I am ready for show and tell.:)
   Yesterday was my Sweetie's birthday!  We slept in (heavenly), then Jeff was off racing cars with my Dad, later we went to see "Four Christmases" (very good) while my parents took the girls to see "Bedtime Stories" (they loved it).  We ended the evening with dinner at The Cheesecake Factory (Have you ever had the Factory Salad??) and then broke open a dinosaur pinata (you're never too old!) at my parents followed by the most incredible cake from Coldstone Creamery (Peanut Butter Playground).  A fabulous day like that makes getting older just a little bit easier.:)

   It tastes even BETTER than it looks.

   Such a cute birthday boy.:)

   New Year's pictures after the birthday party...


   This year I am going to attempt to post more pictures of me.  I am NOT photogenic, but who cares?
