Its all bright and cheery

Happy New Year!

It has been a beautiful years end and now moving onward and upward into the new year where there are always exciting things ahead..

That being said we will have a home this year!!!  Yow yow!!  When?  Well with the delay of the holidays we are still hopeful for the end of February but I am fixin' (Texas wearing off) to be patient as final and all other details are set into place.

Some side scoop.. we are in a betting match with a friend.. we get the privalage to take them to dinner if the home finishes in March or (fingers crossed) we get to feed our faces thanks to said friend if it finishes at scheduled or presumed February's end.  SO being a competive lady.. I certainly hope it finishes lickety-quick!  ha ha!  I hope I have a house, but I hope we get treated to dinner to boot.  I am no sore looser though and will happily bow down to said firend, when & if we loose.. Game on!!

Here is a peek in to our personal fun in December & a few updates on our house.. What a good month of holiday and cheer!

We took a jaunt with the sweetest friends anyone could ask for.. & galavated to New York City.  We are NY virgins, new to the fun everyone's been experiencing..  And oh what a good impression it left.  Minus one cab driver.. but we shouldn't get into that..

This ones for my MOM.  Each year I performed in the Nutcracker Ballet she would buy me a nutcracker doll..
