Dinner tonight was home made Chili and brownies!  The dogs and I are cuddled up in a blanket enjoying staying in doors.  The wind is picking up and I can hear it howling.

2014! Happy New Year!

Well I finally felt like I was among the living so I decided to join my family at my nephew Ricky Lee’s birthday bash!  What a great time and I was so glad I finally felt decent enough to go.

I enjoyed ending the old year with family and friends and welcoming the New Year with family and friends!  My niece took this picture and my sister in law fixed it.  I just love it!

I’m sick!

I woke up the day after Christmas and I was even sicker .. I have spent the past 4 days in bed .. sicker then sick!  I’ve have been blowing, sneezing, coughing, running a fever and the body aches have been horrible!

Merry Christmas!

I’d like to wish you all a Merry Christmas and may you all rejoice in this glorious holiday.  As we celebrate Christmas and the birth of Jesus Christ.

I got up early and got my pumpkin pies in the oven.  Next it was the ham.  It’s going to be a quiet day but as true to my tradition I’m still fixing a feast!

I got up and got my over night salad going , next was the Jell-0 salad and then peel potatoes as I threw onions, carrots and later potatoes in with the ham.  Then I took drippings and some gravy mix and made some gravy.  Last but not least the dinner rolls were put into the oven and my Christmas meal was done!

2013 Christmas

Later in the afternoon I started feeling sick, so it was a afternoon and evening of hugging the bed

Merry Christmas!

This year Christmas Eve was something different .. Home made Pizza!  The kids wanted Pizza and Cherry Cheese Cake for dessert.

The big kids wanted to eat but the little kids wanted to open packages!

so why the big kids ate, the little kids opened a couple of presents and then they got everything out from under the tree.  They had a blast digging way under the tree to see what Santa left them!

I do believe they were pretty happy and excited with what Santa brought them.

It was a great day to have both my sons and both my grand children together for Christmas celebration.  It’s been over 8 years since we’ve celebrated Christmas with our loved ones.

The grand kids had to head to their mom’s around 9 pm and Gabe and Kelsey stayed until around 12.30 AM!  We played pegs and joker!  What a day and I’m ready to hit the hay!

More Shopping

Well as promised we did get the ice and this what it looked like when we headed to Jacksonville.

I was slow moving today but once I finally got myself up and dressed it was time to head out the door to do the last of my Christmas shopping.  Ughh it was crazy and I do not believe there was a store that I missed!  I was gone from around 10 AM to around 6 PM!

20131223_175336

The other day I was heating up Almond bark so the kids could make Christmas candy and the microwave caught on fire .. well Santa had to end up bringing me a new one.  I found this pretty one and I’m planning on re-doing my kitchen in red some day so I just had to have it!

At least I can say it’s official .. I am done I have all my groceries and Christmas presents bought!  Now to get home and unload everything.
