Christmas Eve

This was a different Christmas for us
being down in the desert away from family.....

Christmas Eve I got my hair done

Before

It needed it right?
I try to grow it out every so often
but just doesn't
seem to fit me...

Christmas Eve is also

My Mattie girls
birthday
she is so far away in Virginia
 

My Little Christmas Eve Baby

she wanted a rainbow cake

Her Daddy took her out for breakfast

This is what she got from

Oma

This is what she wore all day

and wouldn't take it off

I set the table with my new dishes

from Pier one

They aren't Christmas plates

but they're

~Happy Plates~

I had a few things Christmasy

that I bought down here

My Mom's cousin lives here and

came for dinner so we wern't alone

The Hubs brought me flowers

from one of his several trips to the store

We had a marvelous prime rib dinner

with pumpkin pie for dessert

Then opened our gifts

that our family had mailed down

Spanky was quite bored with the whole thing

until he got his new

~I-Bone~

He loves this and had to sleep with it

We loved all our gifts

thanks so much everybody

This is what I wanted from the Hubs

My container from TJ Maxx $7.99

filled by my favorite floral artist

Beatrice from Art in Nature

Fits in our bedroom perfectly 

Before

After....

and this was the Hubs present

TJ Maxx frame $6.99
