Give Thanks

Thanksgiving Blessings




I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving and Thanksgiving weekend.


Ours was a whirlwind but very fun.  On Thursday we celebrated

Thanksgiving with just our family.  After calling FU and gloating about
the sausage stuffing, stuffed into old Tom and roasting in the oven, I prepared
to welcome the rest of the family.  We totaled 10 this year, which
for us was a very intimate gathering.  We ate, talked and laughed our day away.



Kristi posted some cute
pictures of our day over at
Family Rush Hour






Sean and Madison



On Friday we headed off to Festival of the Trees.  I was greeted
by a treat when I got there.


Santa Baby
Santa baby, slip a sable under the tree, for me
I've been an awful good girl


Santa baby, and hurry down the chimney tonight
Santa baby, an out-of-space convertible too, light blue
I'll wait up for you dear
Santa baby, and hurry down the chimney tonight


Think of all the fun I've missed
Think of all the fellas that I haven't kissed
Next year I could be oh so good
If you'd check off my Christmas list
Boo doo bee doo




Santa honey, I wanna yacht and really that's
Not a lot
I've been an angel all year
Santa baby, and hurry down the chimney tonight










Can you see all of the things Santa's Honey asked for on the
List on the Mantel?






Santa cutie, there's one thing I really do need, the deed
To a platinum mine
Santa cutie, and hurry down the chimney tonight




Santa baby, I'm filling my stocking with a duplex, and checks
Sign your 'X' on the line
Santa baby, and hurry down the chimney tonight



Come and trim my Christmas tree
With some decorations bought at Tiffany's
I really do believe in you
Let's see if you believe in me
Boo doo bee doo



Santa baby, forgot to mention one little thing, a ring
I don't mean on the phone
Santa baby, and hurry down the chimney tonight

Hurry down the chimney tonight
Hurry down the chimney tonight






I won some ribbons for my hard work.

1st Place for best lighting (may have something
to do with the awesome fireplace Kevin built for me)





1st Place for Most Creative

3rd Place for Best Whimsical

It was a really fun theme to decorate.  I tried to include everything in
the song Santa Baby, that Santa's honey asked for.
It turned out very glitzy and sparkly.  I found
that even though I had a whimiscal theme
I ended up doing it in a more elegant way.

I wonder what I can do next year? 
Hint:  All aboard
