Holding It Together

Merry Christmas!

Last Night

A good time was had by all.

Mama and daddy didn't make it up due to health issues.

They were truly missed.

More pictures later.

I've got a busy day ahead.

Merry Christmas!

The Crenshaw's Come Tonight!

I love it when my family comes.

Tonight is our Christmas celebration.

One Week Away

Take great care on this last Saturday before Christmas!

Not Necessarily True

Shop Party Tonight

I can guarantee that no one will be wearing a suit but it will be fun anyway.

I don't have to cook supper, yay!

Easy Peasy

I bought several flats of strawberries this past

summer and I saved these little baskets for a craft of some sort.

At the time I didn't know what I'd use them for.

I ran two rows of ribbon.

You could do all three rows.

If you can melt a bag of chips and crush some

candy canes you can make this wonderful Christmas bark in 3 minutes flat!

Really, it's that easy.

Over on Prudence Pennywise blog she had two different

step by step blog posts on how to do this and

just how easy it is to make.

Check it out here and here to see for yourselves!

I'm filling the little baskets with that wonderful bark.

It will make nice little gifts for teachers, neighbors,

Home and Visiting teachers or anyone you

need to remember this Christmas season.

Or just eat it yourself.

Enjoy!

Merry Christmas!

The pictures really doesn't do it justice.

This is a really old recipe.

I remember my mama making this cake at Christmas time when I was a child.

It was always one of my favorites.

Still is.

It's a really moist cake and no need for any icing.

YUM!

Funny Kid

Shelby informed us tonight at the dinner table that

we weren't having hot dogs we were having "meat sticks"!

Hope you had something a little better :)

My Favorite

Happy 1st Birthday Bentley

From this sweet little puppy.

And look at his ears they are both laying down.

To this huge handsome guard dog.

And like everything else in this house

the Sweetheart has managed to spoil him rotten.

I look forward to many years of loving Bentley.

Merry Christmas From The Beach

I took these pictures 2 days before Thanksgiving.

It was 81* that day and we stayed on the beach until dark.

My niece Tara and her family were down from Ohio

visiting and took their pictures too.

Santa is Tara's husband Ben.

She made his Santa suit and I think she did a great job!

I'll show their pictures soon.
