HAPPY NEW YEAR!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

I have to admit, I wasn't sad to see 2015 go.  

I'm hoping for a better 2016.  

My Shug said, "Except for Mom passing, which was awful, what was so bad about it?" 

I explained, as I moved my hand way up high and way down low, in a hilly kind of movement, "it was the HIGH's and LOW's.   Too many of them, and too close together." Then I put my hand in front of me and just kind of waved  it along...."I need more of an even calm kind of life for awhile."

So, this year, we started the year off calmly.

We were going to go out to eat but my Shug wanted to cook dinner!  He made mashed potatoes, chicken and noodles, and veggies. I popped open the crescent rolls and rolled them onto the baking pan!   Vickie brought a pie and the whole meal was yummy.

We went to see Star Wars 3D.

Action packed and a feeling of nostalgia when Harrison Ford popped up on the screen!

Then we came home and toasted in the New Year!

 Simple.

Oh, and yes...it was our 21st Wedding Anniversary.  We were married on New Year's Eve.

Today, New Years Day....

Vickie, Theresa and I celebrated our little Christmas gathering that we've been doing for more years than I can remember. They came over to our house. 

We had an exchange, then opened gifts and went to a movie!

We saw "Sisters" and it was hilarious. 

And yes, I am making New Years resolutions.  I find that when I write things down, they tend be more apt to happen.  I don't know why that is, but it is....Maybe it's subconscious. 
So what about you....are you making any changes this year?  Any resolutions?  Doing anything different?

An elf returned! HAPPY NEW YEAR!

 So, here it is New Years Eve!

our Anniversary!....

19 years of marriage....

and I'm still posting on Christmas! 

I'm making resolutions.  Right now.  Writing them down as I think of them...as I type about Christmas.  Resolution #1....my blog posts are going to be smaller! 

 (Yay you say!)  

I'm still going to post about Christmas with my family.  It's important to me.   

And I might possibly post more than once a day.  

Might.  

Anyway...Christmas Day.  

The first thing that happened when I walked in the door at my Sister's house on Christmas day.  Remember when two of my nieces spent the weekend with us?  And two elves stowed away and went home with them in their backpacks.  Well, the younger niece handed me this elf.

 She said, (after jumping up and down and giving me hugs!)
 "Aunt Cindy, You can have this back.  He doesn't move at my house!"
 I said, "WHAT?!?!!"
 "No.  He doesn't move."
Her Mom told me that she thought her daughter forgot all about it.  Then when they were leaving today she asked for it!  Why?  Returning it to me.  She told her Mom she even put the step stool under the cabinet for it in case it needed help!  Oh noooo.  Anyway, we all got a good laugh from that right from the start.

OK - that's it for today.   I know...I can't believe it either.  Maybe later....I have a lot of Christmas stuff to post.  You should see all the pictures I've already downloaded.   But for now....

HAPPY NEW YEAR!
Be safe peeps.
