2 Days After & Thank you's!

Hard to believe Christmas has come and past just as fast as it came! I hope everyone had a Merry Christmas! I know I had wanted to post, but with grand kids around I found that very hard to do! We haven't even gotten pictures taken like we had planned yet, but their going back and forth between grandparents too. Here are a couple shots I was able to get of Kalee when she would stand still for me... this girl is hell on wheels!!
This was Christmas Day and then I got this one this morning in the outfit I made her, just fits, so next time I must make bigger.
Of course Lady had to check it out too...lol Christmas evening found me and the kids doing this
Think they did pretty good. Tj had the white icing, Kalee had the little balls and Gram ma got to do the green icing...lol We still have a gingerbread house and gingerbread men yet if there is time.
Here is a shot of our oldest son, Tim

Sure is great that he's here, I do miss this kid, but he's having fun being here and helping Mike put all the new parts on the GTO. We did get all the parts we need. Even said once the engine is ready he'll be here to help with that too. We just found out we have 1 month more to wait roughly.
We had a very nice Christmas and it was a kid and doggie Christmas! Also pop-pop too if you want to count all the car parts that have been coming in the last month...lol So we've had a great time, noisy time and I will need a doggie shrink by the time Monday come around! My girls were spoiled by Santa though, with the gifts they got and boy do they love em!!! I found these neat Doggie Donut beds, had bought one thinking Lady wouldn't use it...HA, was I wrong, went out yesterday to get another:) so now they both have one.

Here are some of the toys they got

Unfortunately our poor Coco has spent most of her time here

under dads desk. She growls at the site of Kalee when she comes down in the morning. Since this picture I took their old white doggie bed and put in under there so she's off the floor. She has some time out and about when the kids go to visit Krista's family. I know it will be a while after they leave before she settles down, especially with noises.


Now for Thank yous!! I'm still Thanking Nancy for my R.A.K gift. Yes I decided she needed to be recognized for that. I'm so grateful and can't wait till the house is back to normal so I can get out my winder and go for it!! Thank yous go next to Chan for the cute doggie paw bookmark! (pic borrowed from her ravelry project page) I love it and its really cute!! Next Thank you goes to Anita for the pretty scents and bath balls! She made Smelly Jellies Scent Jars and Snowball bath balls, they really are cute and the scents will come out after the kids leave. :) but they do smell wonderful!!
My last Thank you goes to my brother, Bobby! Been a long time since we've exchanged gifts, but things are working out good for him now and when he saw this he knew he had to get it for me. Knowing its my nickname and I do collect them...isn't she beautiful?

I think she's absolutely gorgeous and even though I don't think he knows of my blog, I still say, Thank you Bobby, she's just so gorgeous!! And she's fiber optic which I didn't know until I unwrapped her from all the cardboard. I just love her!!
I also want to say Thank you to all who stop by here and read even though I haven't been too regular as of late. I do hope this year will be lots better, I just need to change my attitude and quit with the pity party..lol I hope to catch up on all your blogs here soon and be the friend I use to be and usually am. So on that note I will go, pressing my luck for this time to do this, need to finish up some cooking.
I hope you all have a very Safe, Happy and Healthy New Year!! Be good to yourselves and I'll see you next year!
