Office Christmas Party

I work with such a great group of people!  They are awesome 🙂
We had our office Christmas party yesterday.  We feasted on Mexican food and chocolate cake.  We also drew numbers and played “dirty Santa”.  Nobody got tooooooo dirty….but we did have some gifts that were taken and re-taken!  It was a lot of fun!  I can’t believe it’s only 9 days until Christmas ya’ll!
Here is Bill selecting his gift….it’s a tough decision!
This was a popular one….the farting monkey.  Seriously.  Everyone wanted this thing!
We had two singing dogs.  They were pretty funny too.
Kevin got a pig popper!
Kendra got some wine
I ended up with my OWN gift….I had #10!!!!
Woohoo!!!!
That means I got to pick any gift & mine was the only one left on the table…so I took it!
Nothing better in my opinion than some Starbucks!!! ha ha!!!
Yummy Mexican food
And chocolate cake
Merry Christmas time indeed!

Wrap me up some would ya?

Thank goodness for Pinterest.
What would I do without you???
I found this clever way to wrap a Starbucks card.
Instead of using brown tissue paper on the bottom I used caramel hershey kisses to represent the coffee…topped off with white tissue paper representing the whipped cream!  And the best part…a Starbucks gift card hidden inside!  It was easy and turned out so cute 🙂

Yum Yum & Yum….

Trailblazers

We try to go hiking a few times a month as a family.  Terence likes to take us out into the wilderness and get lost in the middle of nowhere….he LOVES this ya’ll!

So when he wanted to go on a hike this past weekend I happily abliged. 

#1  I haven’t been in awhile
#2  I’ve been eating naughty during the holiday season.

I always feel better after a good day of hiking.  Terence told me it was a hike, but I think it was more like a freaking mountain!!!  My legs are so sore today!  There were lots of steep inclines and rocks….thank goodness for good hiking boots!

My little guy and his fro :

Ready to go!

Connor walked almost a mile by himself!


It was the perfect weather for a hike!  Dress in layers….best advice I can give 🙂
We had a great time & I look forward to the next hike with my boys!

Airplane Pictures

Several people have asked me where I got the airplane pictures for Connor’s room.  They are from an Etsy shop called Flights By Number.  They did such a good job and the print quality of each picture is impeccable.  They also have vintage car and helicopter pictures too 🙂
 Here is another picture we got for Connor’s room and we love it too!
Go check out their cute store here!!!
