A New Year...

It's hard to believe that I will be 50 in January. I went to the D.M.V. today to get my drivers license renewed. I usually do it my mail but this time they wanted me to come in - I guess for an updated picture. My last picture was 12 years ago so I do look different. I went to the grocery store and bought stuff to make an Italian meal for New Year's Eve. We decided to stay home this year and watch the ball drop on TV. I'm going to make home-made Chocolate Chip Cannoli's for the first time. Yummy!

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!

Our weekend

Well, we have been very busy lately. I am so glad all the shopping is done and we can just relax and bake! I made fudge yesterday and I am going to make Gingerbread cookies today. It is a little chilly outside and feels like Christmas! We have up all 15 trees. Some are little and some are big, but they are all lit up. My favorite ones are the two outside our front door - one on each side, I also like the big tree in the living room, and the three pines in the family room. Last year was a bummer because of Nicks illness, but this year is much better. We are going to relax tonight and watch the Cowboys play. Go Cowboys!!

Virginia Beach

We had a really nice time in Virginia Beach. It was cold but the hotel was terrific and the beach was so pretty. Nick's soccer team made it to the finals but lost 0-1. We ate at The Cheesecake Factory and had breakfast in a restaurant with giant plate glass windows looking onto the beach. We also at at Pocahontas for breakfast on Sunday. THE BEST BREAKFAST ANYWHERE!! Yummy! I mailed my CHristmas cards today and will be sending out packages tomorrow. HAPPY BIRTHDAY FLOYD!!!
