Christmas 2010 {in pictures...and a few words}

Tyler has been taking a pottery class the last 6 weeks and he made this just for me. It is gorgeous and I love it.



Tennessee "White Christmas"



Dinner with my mom and little sister.



Guess who did not want her own camera for Christmas?

Nope, she had rather use mom's SLR.

And I am ok with that.

She is pretty stinkin good at it.



Grandma Pat and Aunt Ashley made salt dough ornaments with the kiddos while we went to dinner...



With the S.M.U.T.S. and their spouses.



My new cutting board from Crate and Barrel.

Hubby got major points for this.

Mentioned I loved it months ago and he remembered.



My mom gave me these vintage candy dishes she found here while shopping downtown.



I love everything about them.

Still trying to think of creative things to keep in them though.

Any ideas?



Maggie's Lisa Leonard necklace engraved with her favorite scripture.

So dainty and precious.



Lots of baking went down here.

I have a whole new jiggle in my thighs to prove it.



Lemons.



For the cheesecake my mom made.

Did I mention I also have a new roll that now hangs over my pants?

Maybe it is a good thing that she lives in Florida.



I believe I single handedly ate at least 4 bags of these little jewels.

You think I'm pulling your leg don't you?

Nope.

It is a skilled craft people.

So is wearing yoga pants.



And finally I would like to introduce you to my new addiction.

I scoffed at any talk of these things for so long.

I prefer to stay in my cave with my flip phone and my walkman.

But the world and all it's technology keeps rolling and growing into a snowball of techno chaos that I cannot seem to get out of the path of and at some point I am forced to jump on.

By "forced to jump on" I mean my husband pushing me into it's path.

He is the reason my flip phone and I parted ways.

He is the reason I have the iPad.

He is like my electronics dealer.

And I am now an iPad junkie.

Maybe you can relate?

Maybe I will see you in iPad Anonymous?

Maybe there is an App for that? :-)



Seriously this thing is amazing.

I have read more the past week than I have in the last 6 months.

Books.

Bible Study.

You name it.

Even has an App for my Weight Watchers!

And I am feeling a tad more organized.

Which is always a good thing in my world.



How about you?

How was your Christmas?

Were you snowed in?

What was your favorite gift?
