First Snow

We got totally dumped on! Our high tomorrow is going to be 17 with a low of 0 (yes that is a very round ZERO). I love it! This weather totally puts me in the Christmas spirit!!!

Luke gets a nice sloppy kiss from Diesel. Jay was kind of grouchy in the previous pictures. So I mentioned maybe he should change his attitude since most likely Santa's elves are out watching. I got a little smile.

I'm an Aunt!

Remember these people?

This is Anne and Tony on their combined bachelor/bachelorette party in 2007.

Well, on Sunday December 7th they welcomed sweet Madison Jaqueline into the world!
Making me an Aunt for the third time!!!

Congratulations Anne and Tony!

Female Bonding In Colorado

I just returned from my annual "female bonding" shopping trip in Colorado with my mom and sister. This year, as wonderful treat, my mom's sister Aunt Peggy joined us. And as an extra special treat so did Macie, my niece. It was so much fun!

Mom, Me, Peggy, Katherine and Macie unwinding after a long day of shopping in our hotel room with a glass of champagne.

Macie is saying "mommy's juice."
Macie got into the spirit of the occasion by donning her glamorous "must have" of the season.

I think she's upset we didn't spend more time in Macy's.

Nothing a little coloring can't help.

What a fun weekend!
