New Year....Eve....morning

Gosh, our kids are married with kids of their own and now......*sigh* they are making plans with their friends for New Year's Eve.........It was Boyd, Harmony and I eating a smothered burrito on New Year's Eve.  Gone are the days of making Chinese Food for New Year's Eve......Gone is having my house smell like a grease pit for a week after all that frying of won tons and sesame chicken and ham fried rice. (secret: I don't particularly miss it....too much work)

Beauty.....................perfection on a plate.

This is me walking down the hall on new year's morning....smelling......

something de-lish...

another step closer...............

Boyd making his New Year's Breakfast.............

the one time a year that he flex's his

culinary genius (hahahahaha)

and prepares a fabulous omelette's.

With a big ole' smile on his mug......love that mug!

almost finished...........

excuse me...............I'm salivating................drooling...........it's perfection.

Christmas

This is the only picture I will post about Christmas day.......I love it.  Miss Sophie, who is 15 months old, and has only allowed Boyd and I to hold her a handful of times, because she only has eyes for her Daddy..................let Boyd hold her and kiss her, it was a wonderful Christmas Gift.......I didn't get any part of it, but Boyd lucked out.

Merry Christmas Grumpy!

Christmas Eve.....

I know I'm a little whacky.........love to have something

in bloom......These are some of my amaryllis....

(2) different varieties.....

These started to grow when I had them in

a box in the cubby (dark cold cubby)

They actually look better than I thought they would.

I have the bulbs from last year that are growing,

but at the rate they are it will be February before

they bloom......pictures to come.

Silly Lloyd brothers posing..........

This will be the year we have a bunch

of pictures of Isaac with a "squint"

 

That's the way he rolls.

Cheesy Soph-a-licious

Me and Bubba......

This is Isaac reading the Christmas Story from Luke.

What I didn't get pictures of was

our kitchen flood...........

Yep.......we had the kitchen flood and the

basement under the kitchen.

It's a good thing I have about 50 towels,

I needed every single one of them.

We had to turn off the water in the kitchen.

I'm here to tell you, the bathroom sinks

are not made to do dishes in............

argggg..............

Everything is good now.  Boyd is just

handy enough to get it fixed the day after

Christmas.

Warning.....Family Party Pictures.....

Lots of 'em

Since everyone that reads this blogs knows what everybody else looks like, I took the liberty of editing a few pictures just for kicks and giggles.....mostly giggles.  I've enjoyed doing it.  I'm thinking that next year my blog will contain more goofy edited pictures................for my enjoyment.

Long live the king............

 Here's a couple of ladies who

know how to have a good time!

Looks like Mom and Bev are trying to talk a

6 year old out of her gift

Mom, Peggi, Harmony & I went to Asia Nails for a pedicure prior to party-ing.

Another Paxman Family Christmas Party under our belt.  If you missed it....too bad, we had a great time without you.

Try to make it next year.

Thirty-Flirty & Fabulous.....

This is our sweet neighbor and friend, Alisa.  She celebrated that big day today.  Harmony and I took some crowns (princesses that we are) over to wear and some cupcakes and a gift.  30 is BIG.......

Alisa was the go-to friend for Harmony and Megan, she was between them in age and was practically a fixture in our home.  She has been taking care of her sweet mother who is battling cancer..........going on 8 years now.  I'm so glad she lives next door and is there for us and her mom.  She comes over with sweet Lily for "Hot Tub Parties" Lily likes the hot tub, but I suspect she likes the hot chocolate afterwards better.

 

You Rock 30 Miss Alisa!!
