Happy New Year & Best Wishes for a Safe, Prosperous 2011

Goodbye 2010 - you won't be missed!!

Boxing Day 2010

December 26, 2010  about 10 a.m.

So funny!!

SIGH - bah humbug

For some reason - or for a bunch of reasons - I'm just not in the holiday spirit this year.  It's all too hard, too commercial and just not worth it (at least for me right now).  I haven't put up a tree or a single decoration . . . not even the candles in the windows (for one thing the house would look lopsided because I haven't trimmed the hollies outside the dining room - they give Bry a bit more privacy for the time he has to spend there).

In any event, I'm truly hoping that 2011 will be a better year for everyone - friends and family.  I'll be ever so glad when 2010 is over . . . .

Our first snow of December

Last night we had our first flurries of the season (remember the beginning of 2010 was FULL of snow!) - cars and roofs and grass was dusted with white and looked very pretty!

It still hasn't been enough to get me in the mood for the holidays but it will happen . . .it's so much easier with little kids around!
