Last Chance

Today is the last day before Christmas that all of my kids will be in school..
Today I will be running around like a crazy woman, finishing up my shopping, sending out my cards, planning my Christmas Eve and Christmas Night menus, cleaning the guest bedroom for my sister and brother in law, baking cookies, wrapping presents, restocking my wine, and finding the finishing touches on my kids Christmas outfits while I am pumped up on Starbucks!

The Coveted Jacket

Little did I know when I bought this jacket it would be the hot ticket item of the season (well, at least according to The Gap) This jacket will be making her debut at a Christmas party tomorrow night. I just love a little sparkle!!

Can you believe only 10 days till Christmas!!!

Calling All Chocolate Lovers!!

Last year for Christmas we got the Bialetti cappuccino and hot chocolate maker.I love this little machine on a cold Winter morning. Pour in your milk, turn it on and viola, you have frothed milk for your coffee drink.

This little gem also makes the most amazing hot chocolate you have ever tasted. Pour in your milk, add chocolate shavings, add other sweet treats like sugar, honey, or cream, turn it on and in about 3 minutes you have a little cup of heaven...





For the holiday season, you can get peppermint hot chocolate at Traders Joe's
Better hurry because once this is gone, it's gone! You can thank me once you have finished your first cup. You can own this slice of heaven here.

Santa, Santa and more Santa!

We had our fill of Santa this weekend. Friday night we met some friends at our club for Family Night with Santa.There were carolers...
cookie decorating, reindeer games in the gym, and of course Santa....but my camera died before I could take a picture!



Saturday night Dan and I finished up our Christmas shopping for ...... Santa
afterwards we grabbed a bite to eat at our favorite restaurant.

Sunday morning we woke up to this....
Then it was off to church, then my kids school for Breakfast with Santa.
There was face painting, cookie decorating, reindeer food making
Scarlett was not too happy with Santa
The only way I could get a half way decent ( and I use that term lightly) photo of my kids was if I held Scarlett while she screamed.Hope you had a Merry weekend!!

Returning to the Scene of the Crime

My next door neighbor (and dear friend) who had us over for a Santa visit Tuesday night, had a girls only Holiday party last night. I tucked the kids in bed and snuck over for some festivities. I might be in rehab by January!
