Merry Christmas to me! I mean us . . .

BEFORE . . .


AFTER!

Folks, these pictures represent a landmark in my life. The top picture was taken by the same camera that most of the previous pics which have appeared on this blog were taken with. The bottom picture was taken by our new Canon Rebel XSi. It's my Christmas gift to me! . . . I mean our Christmas gift to us. :D Woohoo! Get ready for much more awesome (and probably more frequent) postings of beautiful pictures. Aren't you so excited? I've no doubt that you are.

Just because . . .

These flowers were mysteriously delivered to my front door within the last half hour. I put it to you, blog readers - is there a special occasion of some kind today? Did I forget something? The answer is - NO! It is neither my birthday, nor Mother's day, nor Valentine's day, nor my wedding anniversary (although that is approaching), nor did David and I get into a fight of some kind recently. Nope, these flowers were delivered pretty much "just because," and it happened very soon after David left to go to Carey (half an hour away) to work a couple of basketball games. I'm pretty sure that he delivered them himself . . . a ring and run sort of situation. I bet he's just chuckling to himself right now. It came with a sweet note in a card. And I pretty much almost burst into tears. (Ahhhhh!) How lucky am I? Pretty darn, I'd say. :D *sigh*

Christmas time is here!

Anyone recognize the post title as lyrics? I love the "Peanuts" music! I really need the Charlie Brown Christmas soundtrack - and then I'll have all five slots in our stereo filled with only Christmas albums. Sweet! Anyway, in lieu of the upcoming holiday, a look at last year's Christmas day:





Amazing to see what transformations take place in a year isn't it? Happy Holidays everyone!
