Our Christmas

Finally...I know I'm a week late.


Good things come to those who wait.

Waiting makes the heart grow fonder.

Alright already...

Santa's note to Elly.

Santa left half a cookie...fear not...Elly helped him finish.

Santa loot...she was so excited for the pony with a horn. "She's the most beautiful pony ever, Momma!"

Daddy got Elly a snow cone maker...jokes on Daddy though cause it's too hard for Elly to do by herself...sucker!!

A real doggy that barks just like Sarah!!

Awwwh now isn't this sooooo cute. Elly gave Daddy a baseball...that he already had. Re-gifting at it's finest!!

A book light from Elly as well...#1 Dad!! Do you see Santa's gift above his shoulder. Santa's is always watching...be good Daddy!!

A Barbie and a puppy!! SCORE! Thanks Nana Dovey and Papa Dale!

Panties from Aunt Candeee!! WOO HOO!

And saving the best for last! Mario game for the Wii!! She played it for 30 seconds then asked us to help. It's so fun and addicting. Yes, we bought for Elly...really we did. Honest.

Naughty or Nice

"Mommy is Cousin Keely being naughty or nice? Cause Santa won't leave her any presents if she's naughty...my friend Logan said so."

Don't fret little one...this pictures says it all.

Skirt Wednesday

Yep I made that up...but think I may keep it as a weekly thing. =) I wore a skirt today even with the balmy high of 30 degrees.

This week marked my one year anniversary of tracking my weight. I didn't do any special diet, take any miracle pills, or do anything crazy strict. I just watched what I ate and exercised regularly. I did indulge every now and then especially this month (damn those Hershey peppermint kisses). But I'm pretty happy with my success...I've lost 30 pounds.

Pictures were taken with my phone...I know, I know I have to stop using it.
Went from a size 14 to a size 6; size large shirt to a small. Look I have a collar bone!
(Jon told me to keep my eyes open...hard to do when it's 5am)
Merry Christmas to me!! I never ever wear skirts or dresses...last time I wore a dress was my wedding day and this year alone I've bought two dresses and a skirt!! *SHUT UP!* I'm proud of myself and that is something I haven't been in a very long time!

Last year in December

Sir Duncan needed a friend

Someone thought Sir Duncan was lonely.
Billy Dog and Sir Duncan are now BFF (best friends forever), according to Elly.
I'm going to need another bakers rack for next year I can see it now. I'm just waiting for her to bring the Littlest Pet Shop toys in.
Poor Liz.

Before we get started lets go get a cup of joe, I was up so late last night. People kept trying to wrap me in blankets!! As if, yes I'm a pig but I have thick skin I don't need to be a pig in a blanket!
Okay yum those peppermint mochas are the bestest! Now it's time for school! Whhhhhat on today's menu it's PORK CHOPS! That's outrageous!!!!! I'm writing a letter, that's it!
Schools out let's go shopping I gotta buy my girl Elly a present for Christmas. Hmmm Toys made by Elves, Satisfaction Guaranteed, sounds a little dodgey to me.
This place should do it, dang it, no Wii Fits!! Sorry El you get a lump of coal.
Over on the west side of town, we have a family cutting Christmas trees, poor trees never saw that big ax coming.
Weeee faster dude!!! Let's get this baby home and decorate!!
On the east side we have some hooligans...HEY KIDS CUT THAT OUT...you you you...come on guys, I have delicate skin I can't just slide on my belly all the time. Damn kids always steal my sled.
In other news on the bay bridge, you might see we have some flooding going on. Can't resist...must. go. in.
Nothing like a mud bath, so good for the skin.On the north side of town Christmas is in full swing. Fa la la la...
Too much eggnog eh Liz? You embarrass me!Thank you for your time tonight, this is Sir Duncan signing out. HEY LIZ...time for you to go to church!! Don't you walk away from me...Liz, LIZZZZZZ!!!
