There's nothing like frantic, last minute, Christmas shopping

We had a completely frantic evening when our long planned gift for the Bud had a total system failure at the last possible moment.

We punted, and thank goodness toy stores are open late before Christmas.



He loves it, and a replacement for the original gift will be arriving in 8-10 weeks. Just in time for a merry St. Patrick's Day.


Here are a few of my favorite shots he has taken:


Nesting Santas on the windowsill


Peeking "cuties" (aka Korknisse)


Our Christmas Tree (which we like!)



D in the kitchen preparing our fabulous meal.


and me - saying "cheese" for the 57th time since our gift opening.

Here's hoping you are staying warm and are with those you love.
