The 12 days of Christmas... sort of....

As much as I really tried to upload these pictures in order... i messed it up (surprise surprise)
I really did not do well about updating my blogs so I went through my camera and I almost had a little history in pictures of how things went up until the big day... so here we go... a little out of order but isn't that the story of my life!

Just Grinning it up....
Noah had a dentist appt. which I missed and BEGGED them to please see me, they had a really strict policy about no-shows and I am the queen of forgetfullness so if it is not on my calendar, I will forget... heard my voice mail and told them they just HAD to see us, we have been waiting for this dentist to open up his practice for over a year! It is alligator dental and WE LOVE DR. AL! We had already visited another dentist here in Seguin and they told me Noah needed to go to a specialist and I really wanted to keep him here so we waited for Dr. Al, and it was completely worth it AND he didn't need near the work we were first told, they fixed his cavitity in the front (that is why he is showing his smile) he had chipped that tooth and it had turned into a little cavity... AND he has two loose teeth, I mean REALLY loose and I am so nervous, his two permenant teeth are already poking out but Dr. Al said no worries, they will move into their natural place as soon as we lose these two... I see a whole lot of money going into this mouth...


Live Nativity at St. James

It never fails, it will be 75 degrees and sunny and the night of the Live Nativity at church it is freezing! I made cookies and went and hung out with my bestie Cathy...love that BG... It was really nice... and Alice made the best hot chocolate... no farm animals though ... the men were in a meeting (LOL)


Who's the pretty girl.... huh?
Okay, so the day after Christmas we had tickets to go to the dance... yes, me and my honey and a bunch of friends were headed to kick up some dust and dance to La Mafia... That saturday I stayed in my PJ's AALLLLL day, loved it! and i decided late that afternoon to go get my hair cut and nails done which I had not had my nails done in about... humm... 15 years, maybe longer... seriously! (totally regretting spending that money now, just a little because i LOVE THEM) I felt so spoiled, Noah went with me and didnt even nag about the time, so i let him pick the color... We had a blast at the dance... my husband had a nice long visit with Ralph that night but it was still a ton of fun and I can't wait til we can do it again! (This time Jim Bean won't be invited)


Santa Baby...

Okay, I was in tears when my husband got home from work the Tuesday before Christmas, I had taken the whole week off to spend time with Noah and ended up having to help my mother in law with her tamales ... which I don't mind but hadn't planned on and I completely missed the pictures with the pretty Santa at the bank here in town... 3 days til Christmas and no santa picture I felt like a horrible mother... so my wonderful husband loaded us up in the car and we headed to San Antonio to find a Santa... and we did! We took him to North star mall and ran into country kringle on our way to picture time, somehow i didnt get that picture loaded but I was so happy... this was another one of those 'all about me' moments for mommies. I love my husband, he is the best....



Cookie time

Look at these yummy cookies I made... I made peppermint drops, chocolate snowtops, coconut macaroons, sand tarts, toffee chew bars, ranger cookies, chocolate covered pretzels, chocolate peanut patties, pecan patties and rocky road candy! Don't ask what got into me!


Carol of the Bells
Just giving a co-worker a new pair of shoe laces just in time for Christmas... funny... oh, and don't worry....he got me back...


39... WOW
Just because it's your birthday doesn't guarantee you get it easy... this was the best picture Johnny got of me and my grouchy son on my bday...and that was after a lot of threats... LOL It was a good birthday and I gave me ton's of kisses later to make up for it....


I told you....
I was a baking fool! Aren't my treatbags cute! I love making bows and doing pretty packages for Christmas....

Happy New Year!!!!!
Let's keep the stars in our eyes and look for good things to come in 2010! God Bless!
