December was full this year and included a camping trip. Hubby and I went to Trailer Trash Christmas in Anacortes. It was fun to see our camping peeps in the winter. I had fun dressing up Annie and Hubby for the holidays.
I loved seeing everyone celebrate Christmas.
We enjoyed being home and cozy too.
I celebrated another birthday.
The Pie Pals came for lunch and a craft.
Girls night! Always fun and a long standing tradition! 2023 will be our 40th anniversary and I think we should start planning.
Sam and Katie made their exciting baby news public. Thank goodness because this grandma was about to burst!
Camping Mimi has been buying a few things. We get to find out if it's a boy or a girl this month.
Boy or girl, every newborn needs a camping outfit. Sam weighed over ten pounds so if baby is like Daddy they will wear newborn sizes for a hot minute. Breaking that info to Katie carefully.
I put up three trees this year, and used a lot of neutrals. Our living room tree didn't have the shiny brites year. it was easier and calming.
Hubby rocked my Dad's Santa suit and we crashed Bill and Jodi's family party. Alex and Serena, I am sorry but therapy for Rory is your own expense.
Sam and Katie and Max and Kassie came home for Christmas. We celebrated with Danny and Jess in MI over Thanksgiving and with face time.
Why is there always one boy that has to wind up the chandelier and his mama like a top?
Sam is pretty exited about he hatchet, not sure if we should be worried.
We had a nice Christmas and I have the photos to prove it but i am still having photo/blog woes.
In January one of my walking buddy's son got married and we helped her. A beautiful and fun wedding for a special couple.
Hubby and I went to Ikea to get some things to organize our home. I added some blush to our bedroom. Hubby is liking it too.
And then the weather... I love the snow as much as I despise the wind. So far, we have had power and that is huge. The last two years we lost power for 4+ days and I got cranky.
I am incredibly lazy during blizzards. School snow days and it feels like the world stops so I do too.
Let's chat about Netflix. I finished Mrs. Maisel, and season 3 didn't feel as good as seasons 1 and 2 but still good. I binge watched the new season of Good Girls. I am muddling through season 3 of The Crown. Is anyone else struggling with the older actors?
What are you watching? I need something new. I'm thinking about Ozarks but it may be too scary for me.
I read The Mother in-Law and really enjoyed it.
I'm not on a diet but I should be. Wish I cared.
The blogging/photo issues are makin' me craycray!
What I am looking forward to:
Rio and Bee's wedding this weekend and seeing Rene' and Jeremy.
A Sisters on the Fly event next weekend. Hubby gets to go too. Shelly!
My brother and Caroline are getting married February first!
New devotions for 2020. First 5. It's an app.
Holding a newborn baby and smelling its head. Not weird
2020 is a Hawaii year and we are going to the big island. I haven't been there since I was a nanny. Ten glorious night, eek! Toes in the sand.
My sisters/cousins have a Palm Spring trip planned and I am giddy!
Finding out if our grand baby is a boy or a girl. I think Sam wants a girl. He always wanted a baby sister and when we got Hawley (our dog) he had a flash of disappointment because he thought we'd adopted a baby girl. I still laugh about that. Sam will be happy with a healthy boy or a girl, so settle down.
I have a lot of camping reservations and have over 50 nights away from home reserved for 2020. I know. I know. That's a lot but it's all great trips!
Have a good weekend my friends!
