Winter break sure went fast!  By the time we prepare for Christmas and then pack up everything after Christmas, it doesn't leave much time to relax and enjoy the break!  I've cleaned out cabinets, dressers and closets to make room for all our new items!

Then....today....Bill's Birthday!

 Here is our tree right after "Santa" came to visit!

 Right before opening the gifts

 Afterwards

 Gifts, Gifts, and more Gifts

 Everyone knows how much I love GIFT CARDS

 I needed a couple of last minute gifts so I recreated the fabric bolt snowmen from last year

 I saw this on pinterest and decided I needed to make one. It's strips of scrapbook paper pinned to a Styrofoam cone.  It' turned out really cute.

 Then Kohls had some awesome coupons that you could use together!
SO.... I went shopping.

I wanted some boots that I could "wipe off" since many of the boots I have now are suede.


 I was very excited to find my favorite boots in two different colors.  I have the black ones already!

and I couldn't pass up the deal on these Skechers! 

 I couldn't decide which slippers I liked best - so I ended up getting both pairs!


These lip color sticks were a "steal" too!
 I picked up a few things for Ryan for Valentine's Day







This is why I LOVE GIFT CARDS - I got all these items at a fraction of the cost they were BEFORE Christmas!

Hoping the New Year is a Happy and Healthy one for everyone!

So Long 2012 - Hello 2013

Who the heck moves on CHRISTMAS EVE???
Anyway, we took a break from this......
to celebrate Christmas after three days of packing, moving, cleaning, painting, arranging, rearranging,  unpacking, etc....

Bill and I Christmas Day 2012
 
 
Although, we worked hard at my parent's new home - there was NO WAY to get a Christmas Tree up and try to cook a turkey in the new kitchen......
We ended up having Christmas dinner and gift exchange on my brother and sister-in-law's house.
