Do I need to PM you my address so you can send my cookies to me? Just kidding!

No, no ticker yet. I am trying to keep to my "after the holidays" resolution. I was just tired of my nekkid signature. It needed something.

I like the pictures Jackie!

I'm impressed with you cookie making schedule. I always say I'm going to do something like that for friends and co-workers each holiday season and I never get around to it.

 

[Charleston Princess]

I like the pictures Jackie!

Thanks! I needed something visual in my signature. It was so plain looking to me.

Yeah, I curse myself every year about this time, I can't believe I am going to do it to myself AGAIN, but it is fun...

It is very very cute, I agree!!! Can't wait to see what comes with it later on!!!

We are still up in the air regarding our own plans, too... Not sure about this extension exactly, yet, but we are now moving towards a cruise deposit. I will tell all when we get it squared away! We are still not sure what we are going to do....

 

[Happydog]

And BOY is it a snowy day!!!!



Gets me all excited for the holiday, what festive weather!!! I just wish it were SUNDAY afternoon, not Saturday!!!!

So I will update bigtime tonight all, so you won't see me back until then... stay tuned!!!

Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow....

 

[Charleston Princess]

I am so jealous that you are getting real snow! We had snow flurries for about two hours this morning, but none of it stuck, and now it is just cold and windy.

Have fun playing in it!

 

[DisMomAmy]

Snowing here too!

 

[2xcited2sleep]

Snowing away in New England too. Can't believe this time next week I'll be in WDW! Looking forward to your next update!

 

[wigdoutdismom]

Well you know it's not the tropics here in Kansas but there were people out in shorts today....
I had on a coat.
Supposed to get sleet tomorrow. Yuck!
So how much snow did you all get today? Do you have pictures of the boys out playing?



Jackie, love the new banner! I noticed it earlier today and thought it was new but then thought what if it wasn't new and I'll look like a moron saying something......

 

[jenjolt]

Awwww...Snow Days!!!!! Hope you guys had a great day of snow filled fun!!!

Talk about culture shock! I hope it is nice weather for you next week! I just love watching if fall from the sky, and the sun the next morning on the snow sparkles!!!

Oh yes! Will update like I said! Now that I can!

 

[DisneyMom14]

OMG! I've missed so much! I had the whole family except me sick and keeping me busy that I haven't had much Disney time. I need to update!!!!

I LOVE your house and decorations! Just beautiful!!
Lovin' the scrabble "reveal." Really cute!

Glad you got to enjoy your Black Friday!

Every parish EXCEPT ours and one other had snow forcasted yesterday morning/Friday evening. It was just cold and yucky here.

I can't believe we are sooooo close!!!!!
BUT I have SOOOOOO much to dooooo!!!!

 

[CW4DW]

Anxious for all the updates - can't wait to see and hear everything that has been going on...

 

[Happydog]

So last night the DIS was “down for maintenance” when I tried to get my update done!!! Well, it gives me a chance to get my update together!!!!

The big surprise at my house over the weekend was that we had a hugely snowy day on Saturday!! We were only expecting a “dusting” and we got six inches!!!! Sure wishing it was SUNDAY evening not Saturday, because of course that would have been a delay for school!!!! This typically happens after Christmas around here… we don't always get snow before January.

Anyway, with the weather, we were able to get outside and enjoy the snow. Here are some photos of our snowy afternoon.

The kids were back out in it today, for three hours! And the snow stuck around even with them tromping through it!

Now Friday night we went to our favorite Christmas Tree lot (it is a local nursery that has a nice set up for trees…) My boys love coming here and racing through the aisles of trees! It is hard to believe that Friday was completely different from Saturday morning! That storm blew right up the coast!

We picked a nice tree, and made it home. It is a frazier fir, which I like b/c it holds my ornaments well. Saturday afternoon and evening we decorated – or rather I decorated and the boys were outside shoveling snow with their dad.

I still have a few decorations to put up, will post that photo in round two, later this evening.

I have made my first batch of Tshirts!!!! That photo is also coming up in round two!

I placed another Disney Store order.... I didn't get much, but I got the final touches for my villa Christmas Tree!!!

So those were the photos I wanted to catch you up on, and the rest will come later tonight!!

 

[wigdoutdismom]

Love the snow pictures! I'll be back to check on the rest....
Gotta to run to school and set up the Wii for tomorrow morning!

 

[Happydog]

So I have a final few photos for you... my Christmas tree photos and one of my Tshirt photos... I have not settled on the patterns for the kids yet. I did complete one for me, though!

This is blurry -- I have a better photo, last night when I was adding pics I think I was so tired my own eyes were bleary and blurry!!!

Jack I bought this past October, because I had been waiting to get him, and our Fall getaway was a wonderful time to go and get a Jack ornament, since it was "halloweenish" in theme! They didn't have this one last November, so I got the set below...

These I got last November, a set of 4 ornaments! I really like them!

I also realize that last night I didn't say much about my Teeshirt, but this one is for me!! I am looking forward wearing it... I like simple graphics and there are so many fun Mickey heads!!!
