Cuddle Bug

Today Cuddle Bug asked me to get her some hot chocolate. I said no problem. As I was making it she asked me "Mom how did you make hot chocolate in the olden days?" There is nothing like a child to humble you.
And I am not that old.....

Rocky

First let me tell you we had a lot going on tonight. I had book club tonight which we were reading The Shack. Hubby, his sis, the girls and our nephew went to the swimming pool.
I had book club and dinner to bring home. I also had a few things to get for hubby which I forgot. He had a friend bring over some deer meat. Hubby makes jerky out of it and it is good. I am not into wild game but I like his jerky. He had me put it in the sink to thaw out. I am guessing it weighed about 30lbs. I had also gone to the store and picked up some fryed chicken. Rocky was in the house and this worried me.It has been so cold here that he has to stay inside.
humm do you see this coming?
I put everything up were I thought he could not get to it.

I walked into the house in the middle of family prays. The dog was outside. I asked why he was outside did he get the chicken? Or the bread I thought for sure it was something like that.... No he pulled the deer meat out of the sink and gobbled it up on the living room floor!!!! I have to tell you hubby was NOT happy. I can't say I am please with the carpet either. I never thought he would pull the meat out of the sink.
He yelled out you meat head. Otter said dad you mean that literally. So the dog may have had his name changed and been banded to the cold.
One more Marley moment for Rocky!

UPPER CASE LIVINGS NEW BOOK!!!!

Oh I am so in love with the new Upper Case Living book. It has so many more new ideas. I keep hoping my sister Amy will take a look at it. She has a 2 year old little boy that I would like to buy something for him. There are four new colors. One is black patten and the other one I am in to is etched glass.
Well take a look at the book. Then if you love it as much as I do....email me. UCL is bumping January hostess to the next highest level of sales. GREAT idea, and I am adding to it. I am giving the 1st 4 people to contact me 25% off their hostess order!!!!!!!! You just pay tax.

You maybe wondering why I am adding the 25% off? I want to go home for Christmas. It has been 13 years. My little sister has never even seen my youngest children. Crazy.

Christmas

CANDY!!!!!!!! Grandpa and Baby with the gift he got her. She wanted it open asap.

Kathy and the candy bag. She is laughing becuase I wanted it.

Boy the baby looks just like her Dad! She also happens to act just like him too.

The dog loved the gift wrap. The candy all over the floor made him rather happy too. I wish I had a picture of his face.

You would not believe how many Hubby took of the kids. Someone was always looking down or had their eyes closed. This was the best one we got of the kids. I don't know that we have a nickname for K but he's 4. Baby is 2 3/4. She will tell you she is 3. Cuddle Bug is 5, and Otter is 9.

Notice the PJ's. A tradition in my family is to get new crazy PJ's on Christmas Eve. I have keep this up. My mother-in-law laughed about this and thought it was great.

Well Cuddle Bug what she wanted. It was Barbie land around here. We did have K here which I think was good for Hubby. He got to see a few cars under the tree.
