This is it......the end of a year long photo journey. I spent some time pondering what I should photograph as this last representation of 2011.....and I decided on this photo I found on facebook (which isn’t mine--though I wish I had thought of it).

Yummm! I didn’t make this one, but it tastes delicious.....chocolate cake with a creme filling and whipped cream and caramel on top.

Rain, Rain, Rain!!!! It has been raining a lot over the past week, and the result is areas of flooding. Here is a house and field at the end of the road where I live.....the water is actually right up to the edge of the road.

December 28, 2011

Bought some new totes today for all my Christmas stuff. I guess it is time to think about un-decorating......and please be assured I am only thinking about it, not quite ready to put that plan into action yet.

December 27, 2011

The “kids” enjoying their new toys!! It doesn’t matter which one they have, they always want whatever the other one has......they are true children. LOL!

I think I want what you have.....

Why yes, I DO want that toy.

December 26, 2011

Here is some of my Christmas stash. Books, movies, and music--what else could a girl want?

December 25, 2011

Had a nice Christmas today! Got to skype with my sister for a little bit and got some good stuff. Also a good time reflecting on the real reason for the season!

December 24, 2011

Thought I would share a few of my favorite “old” photos with scriptures on them for today.

December 23, 2011

A picture of my sister in Kuwait....she was getting ready to go and see Santa. :-)
(I stole the picture from her facebook page.)

December 22, 2011

I had a co-worker find this sticker in the pet department.....which she decided to stick to me. “No stuffing!” is the truth. LOL!

December 21, 2011

One of the local parks gets all decorated up for the holidays, so I took a few pictures of it all lit up at night. The camera hardly does justice to how nice it really looks.

December 20, 2011

Went out to dinner at Carino’s Italian with some of my co-workers tonight. It was definitely a night of good food and lots of laughs. I had a spicy chicken and shrimp pasta and since we couldn’t decide on a single dessert we ordered 3 of them and everyone shared.

December 19, 2011

Got a nice fire going in the wood stove!

December 18, 2011

One of my all time favorite Christmas decorations. My dad and I made the nativity stable when I was really little (about 3 I think).....it’s one of the first memories I have.

A misty morning in the mountains.

December 16, 2011

Saw this picture posted on facebook and it made me laugh! I admire the people who put up lights, and I love looking at those lights, but since I’ve never put lights up on my house “ditto” is how I feel too.

December 15, 2011

Things with mint make me happy!

December 14, 2011

New pajama pants......so soft!

December 13, 2011

Playing with the camera and took a couple of pictures of myself (that I actually like) in front of my Christmas tree.

December 12, 2011

Pasta with roasted red pepper sauce, fresh peas (well, they were fresh when I froze them), and a croissant.

December 11, 2011

Uh oh, someone dropped the baby on the floor in Wal-mart.

December 10, 2011

New tires for my car. Not sure what the deal with the ones that were on there since my car doesn’t yet even have 22,000 miles on it, but I was in desperate need for some new ones.

December 9, 2011

Stopped off at Ameri-cuts with a co-worker while he got his hair cut and I was quite intrigued with their floor.....not sure why, it just seemed interesting to me. LOL!

December 8, 2011

Put up my Christmas lights in the living room today.

December 7, 2011

I finally got a Christmas tree, and decorated it.

December 6, 2011

Frosty fall leaves!

December 5, 2011

A frosty spider web!

December 4, 2011

The cold water knob on the bathroom sink went shooting up into the air this morning as I was getting ready for work. Nothing like another shower after you had just taken a shower. That’s okay, the new faucet is installed and it’s as good as new.

Before

After

December 3, 2011

Took some wedding photos for my friend Sarah and her husband Barrett......thought I would share a few of my favorites.
