Last Day of 2009!

I thought I'd get on here and make one last post on my blog for 2009!  I really must say that I am glad to be saying good-bye to this year.  It wasn't a "bad" year per say, but it was more so a "blah" year, and I'm ready to move on.  I look forward to seeing what's in store for us in  2010... I just hope and pray that it's all good and positive compared to much of the last few years obstacles and challenges! 

So, Christmas came and went fast!  It was a nice Christmas... the second one hosted in our home.  Once again I made one of our families' favorite main courses, Chicken with mushrooms and wine, and my mom provided a delicious prime-rib.  Of course we had all the other traditional fixin's to go along with and it was all soo GOOD!  Here's a few pix to share from our Christmas...

My mom, gram and I before Christmas Eve service.

Aww... and one of just us two! 

The babies' tree lit up on Christmas morning!

The dining room table all prepared...

Wasn't he a cute lil' boy? Lol!  I cut the Vinyl lettering out with my Cricut!

Our tree in the basement... this is the first time we set up a bigger tree in about 5 or 6 years, so it was really nice to have this up and all decorated again!

Me, opening some beautiful earrings from my favorite Santa! 

There's not much going on here today... just got a new truck load of fire wood, so M is working on piling that all up on his day off!  Can't wait to get a cozy fire going... it snowed here about 3 inches over night, so a fire will be really comforting right now!  We really aren't much for partying in the "New Year", so I'm not sure what all we are going to do yet tonight.  Some friends of ours may come over and I plan on putting together some appetizers,  maybe play some pool or card games, sip on some good wine slushies, but that's all.  I'm going to get some meatballs going in the crock-pot and make some yummy spinach articoke dip because I LOVE that stuff!  Just a very low-key night at home... just how we always like it... together and safe!  And tomorrow, the first of January 2010 will be just like any other day.  He has to work, and maybe I'll sleep in a little longer, lol! 

I hope everyone else has a great New Years celebration with much love and happiness carrying you all throughout!  Be blessed and be safe!  Welcome on in 2010!!
