Merry Christmas . . . . to all who read this ;)  This year I've noticed that store employees are saying Merry Christmas to consumers and I love that they're not afraid of the 'offended groups' any longer - it's great!  It can be Happy Holidays with a cherry 'Merry Christmas' =)

Boys posing with their favorite gift - an x-box game, so they are happy =)  

Christmas dinner wasn't typical this year!

Chips and Pico de Gallo - both homemade:

Carne de Sada (pork):

Jonathan had only one, pork, pepperjack cheese, carmelized onions, cilantro and sour cream:

Because he was really saving room for pumpkin pie and whipped cream - both homemade too:

Yeah, he had a quarter of the pie - I just thought he wasn't hungry at dinner time:

It's a white Christmas today - it snowed huge flakes for awhile.  Some of our neighbor friends have no power - luckily we still do!  Hopefully our circuit board piece comes in the mail tomorrow so we can get the main heater working.  We are toasty with a few space heaters and 1 that generates from a propane tank - Mr. Heater radiates heat like no other and I recommend it highly!

Changed it up

My sister gave a set of candle holders from Partylite for my birthday - I used them as candle holders as my Christmas decorations last year - but this year I was inspired to change it to a more fancy display:

They have small holes on the opposite end where the tea light goes and you can add water and a flower.  So I took small beads and jingle bells and added that to the inside as well as some leaves, berry picks & ribbon - I like it a lot better now ;)

Christmas Ornament

Have you ever made something for a gift exchange and then didn't want to give it away?

I made this ornament for that exact purpose . . . but am thinking I will have to make something else - I only have one of these flat circular ornaments - maybe just buy some more?

It says Prince of Peace (which is one of my favorite titles for Christ) on it - but you can't see it from the photo.  I used the baby Jesus sleeping and put some straw-like pieces inside the ornament.  Embellished with some jingle bells and ribbon and it really turned out precious!  I really want to keep it - should I?  =)

Vintage Card

I made a Vintage card and found awesome free graphics (from Karen) on the web:

I colorized them using burgundy and browns sepia technique.  It says 'May good fortune smile upon you'.  I am going to do a Vintage Christmas ATV (artist trading card) swap and I have to make 6.  That's doable =)  The truth about this card is I spent a lot of time downloading, sizing them, coloring and printing 8 sets out (I wanted a few extra and now I have 8 extra - haha) and then I read my swap a little closer - it was supposed to be Christmas themed - I'm a dork ;)
