Da Dr. Seuss Tree

As is tradition we put up Christmas decorations this past weekend... We have my parents old fake tree that is older than me and I must say has seen better days. Last year we bought a star to place on top that unfortunately is not wide enough to fit that top and is too heavy for the tree to support. That as well as the crooked bottom have helped us accept that this is our Dr. Seuss Tree. We are proud of its mis-shapen-ness and will let it shine in the front window, drooping star and all until New Years.

Happy Thanksgiving!!

We hosted Thanksgiving dinner this year, and I must say it was a complete success. We had it catered by two of my favorite chefs (the two moms) along with some help by the rest of the family. It was a ton of fun, and even though I was completely exhausted by 6pm that evening, I can't wait to do it again next year!

Car Insurance Anyone?

It's the little things in life that make you happy!! This little guy wandered into our humble abode as we were unloading groceries... it's a baby gecko if you can't tell. He made me so happy (I actually couldn't stop my hysterical giggling as he crawled all over my hand) we had to take pictures for the blog.
