Christmas Party Time

Kind of a demanding little fella.  Like I didn't have anything better to do with my Saturday.

At least he's polite?

Doin' fancy tonight... at Moose Lodge. Is that a UFO?

Here we goooo.....  night out with my hubby.  First Christmas party with his new co-workers at his new job.  Happy.

Serious Business

Got some serious business taken care of tonight.

A night of Christmas traditions. Pizza. Chocolate. Games. Pajamas. Family.

The Other Place

These are desperate times.

Our boots are kissing... heh.

Trying out a new place in town... The Other Place.  Not bad.

A Little

Throwback Thursday: Christmas 2007 Elf Yourself... this little "gem" was brought back to my attention this morning. Life has changed in seven years.  A little.

He Sees You When You're Sleeping

Now the Band-Aids?  Something tells me I'm going to have to start watching this elf instead of the other way around.  I'm putting band-aids on my list for Santa!  He owes me.

Merry Christmas?  Too much?  Sometimes $1 can buy a whole lot of fun.

And also today, I finally got the puzzle the boys picked out from our Redbud visit in March.  One of their favorite souveniers from our spring break trip south in March.   

Thomas Kinkade - San Francisco, A View Down California Street From Nob Hill

A Few of My Favorite Things

Early morning elf messes (he's getting messier!)...

Special chocolates for afternoon snack...

(Look who got the last chocolate in the box!  Thanks to my little bro for treats from his recent visit to Hawaii with Libby.  Aloha.)

Poetry on my wall...

(First thing I'm going to see when I wake up every day.  Song of Solomon has become one of my favorite chapteres in the Bible... a great love story... "I am my beloved's and my beloved is mine.")

Happy.

The Nadas Silent Night - 12 Years of Christmas

First there was dinner (at one of my favorite places, I might add...).  My dinner was disappointing, so we'll focus on the Pizza Gusto anitpasti... yes that is salmon... yes that is brussel sprouts...

yes, that is good company... 

yes,there was aftermath... sadly, there was no time for dessert...

And then there was music...  good, good music...

Oh nos! I lost Mike's face on this one, but I like it because it has "Iiii'm goIN' down to the RI-ver..." written all over it... even though I don't think that's the song they were singing... heh.

 Treated to "Here Comes Christmas" right before intermission. 

We may or may not have snuck up to the balcony at intermission.  VIP section only.

Little Goat bandanas came out after intermission.  Pretty serious crowd.  We fit right in.

*singing* Pretty, pretty, pretty, pretty, pretty, pretty girlllll.... *end singing* 

Wait... where'd the music go?  Post show group photo with the set tear down overall photo bomb.

Last minute detour.  Craig's first late night visit to Fong's for their "Wonton" Pizza (interpreted means Crab Rangoon... sorry... I know a lot of languages)... good night... 

Night with friends.  My favorite.
