Perhaps your kids are all Pokemon crazy these days–like mine and my grandkids are.

When I asked the three that have January birthdays, what they would like Grammy to make them…I wasn’t a bit surprised.

Miss Chomp asked for a Snorlax. That’s him above.

“Can you do that Grammy?”

With a little help from 3 different patterns on the internet…

I did the best I could.

It was a pretty fun adventure and in the end…

I’d say,  “Why yes, Miss Chomp..I believe I can.

Shayah In The Snow

I came out to take a video of the beautiful snow coming down and sweet little Shayah came out to join me. Apparently, her Russian constitution makes her very brave in all that snow.

The Santa Mugs Tradition

img_4133

I’ve heard of people making a tradition out of drinking hot chocolate from adorable little Santa mugs for Christmas Eve. I loved the idea, I bought two mugs and did my very best to save them for the night before Christmas. Ha.

I lasted about 10 minutes.

Trouble is, they are so DANG cute and fun to hold and even more fun to drink from, that welllllll…

I’m afraid that the official word on the new tradition at our house will be– to drink hot chocolate and herb tea and Postum and anything else you can think of out of these happy little mugs every chance you get for as long as possible.  Besides, they are too awesome to use once and then be done with them for a year.

So, if you’re looking for me, I’ll be the one with the cocoa mustache  drinking shamelessly from the Kringle mug on December 17.  Try to be brave.

I’m a rebel.

A Real Dang Tree!

Real tree. Real tree. Realtreerealtreerealtree. REAL TREEEEE!!

First one in about 25 years. It’s a funny shape and a little pinched and I don’t care because it’s REAL and it smells heavenly.

Ask me if I’m excited. Go ahead…

ask me.

Hee hee…
