Less Stress Christmas Season

This year I am trying to savor the season a little bit more and not fall into the Holiday Crazy trap & get caught in the hoopla.

Let’s face it I can’t rewind time and have this little cutie back

He is growing like a weed  & I don’t see that changing anytime soon.

So this Christmas season there will be More:

Building trains with Dad

Christmas movie time as a family

Wrapping at leisure while watching Christmas specials.

Baking yummy treats instead of shopping all day every day

Snoozing by the tree

Basking in the sunshine..Since our state is the only one that did not get the memo it is winter

& just spending time feeling blessed for my little family

& maybe getting a updated picture made .

I hope you are all having a very Happy Christmas Season !!

Happy 70th Birthday Dad

Today is my Daddy’s 70th Birthday.

We celebrated early and had a big fiesta with lots of yummy food, presents and cupcakes yesterday since everyone had to return to work from the big holiday today.

Happy Birthday Dad. I hope you have a great day today .

Time For Leftovers

Yesterday was a great day full of family and food.

Started off with me finishing up some cooking and getting the turkey prepped for the hubby.

↑ Poor Turkey

Then my sister, brother n law and nephews came over for a bit to visit before heading to my brother n laws families house.

Then it was time to dig in to all the yummy food.

We were so full the only one who ate dessert was Bub, but I will make sure I eat some today.

Everyone was in a food coma after so we all just sat around watching the parade rerun on TV or napping.

No Thursday shopping for me yesterday. I refuse to shop on Thanksgiving Day and for that matter I don’t get up at the crack of dawn on Black Friday to be around a bunch of sleep deprived grouchy people looking for a deal. No Thank You!!!

I usually will venture out sometime during the day and will pick up some of the things that are on sale the whole weekend which most of the sales always are so I have never seen the point of the big early morning rush unless you want that TV/Video Game they only have two of and everyone is gonna fight over. Hello run on sentence. 

But if it’s a tradition in your family or that is your cup of tea then more power to ya . Do you shop on Black Friday?

I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving and has a safe weekend.
