Christmas Eve Party

We had our traditional Christmas Eve party last night. Here you can see the fantastic spread that I put out

.

 Here you can see my gorgeous tiger pants (bought at an estate sale for $2)

 The kids working on a paper tearing game. Their dad was the winner!

 Playing another game where they had to draw a scene with the paper on their head.

 The winner of the drawing game.

 The prize for each of the games was a scratch off lottery ticket. Below is the only winning ticket. The prize is a whopping $5!!!

 Looks like another string of lights went out on my tree. It snowed last night. After 3 days of above 60 degrees F we didn't think we'd have a white Christmas, but we do. Merry Christmas everyone!

Sentimental Gift

I received  a package today from my aunt that was so special and so sweet, I'm still crying my eyes out over it.  She had gotten hold of some of my dad's sweatshirts and had pillows made. She sent me this one and also a t-shirt (which I am wearing now). An exceptionally sweet and thoughtful thing to do. I've got the best family ever!

Handcrafted Ornament

 I went to a program at the library and made this lovely ornament out of melted crayons and a glass ball.

Snow Man

Gil and I made a little snowman. Well, Gil mainly just jumped around and rooted in the snow but that was a big help.

First Snow

The first snow of the season! Woke up to a gorgeous winter wonderland. There were even some dear frolicking around behind the back fence. Gil loves it!

Painting Lesson

My Ladies Club just started a painting group. I made this last week. I think it turned out pretty good. Now I need to find a nice frame!
