Daily recap

So I have again fallen behind...darn it!

Dec 12th - hung the ornament from Kenda at work:

(I told the story last year in my December Daily, but she brings a humongous basket of ornaments every year and has everyone take one.)

Isn't that the coolest idea!?

Love it! (look closely in the bottom right - wonder who is taking that photo?) :P

Dec 13th - Celebrated Mom's birthday with pizza & gifts of course!

Love this photo of Mom, Jake & Joe!

Next was the annual Tour of Homes hosted by a local ladies' club.

Seriously awesome homes & decorations...really puts you in the Christmas spirit!

Okay, here is Amy and Brandi on a great screened in porch complete with fireplace!

Recognize Amy?

My DIL?

Yes, she has lost some major weight!

Here is a photo from last year's Tour of Homes!

(That's Amy on the far right) 

Very, Very proud of her - I think she's down about 50 or 60 pounds!

And here is our group shot from this year, except poor Donna got cut out of the photo - it was crowded and the nice lady that took the photo was trying to hurry.  (sorry Donna!)

This was in the Murphy home...wow what a home it is!

Three levels, three kitchens, don't know how many bedrooms & bathrooms.

a home movie theater, huge game room, pool house with indoor pool, etc.

It is fantastic, huge, and homey all at the same time!

Dec 14 - first day of Secret Santa at work

I got this groovy, green aluminum bottle.

Already using it for my water!

Dec 15 - My Granny's Birthday.

She doesn't look 88 in my opinion!

We had lunch today and I took her that cute hot pink Christmas cactus.

On another note, I only have three more days until Christmas break!

So happy for some time off.

Also getting ready for a big surprise birthday party for my Mother-in-law.

She will be 90 tomorrow and we are having a party on Saturday.

(Hope she doesn't read my blog) he he
