Merry Christmas!

Hi there, hard to believe Christmas is just a few days away. Boy, this month really flew! This mama elf is ready to call it a holiday wrap. As the saying goes...."it is what it is". As of today, what is done is done and what's not done well.....shall remain:) It's kind of a relief to know this, no more pressure, no more 14 hour days running around, sleepless nights tossing and turning over what hasn't gotten done, no more fighting crowds, strategizing for choice parking spaces, no more brainstorming about what to buy so and so etc...... It is all done. Woo hoo!

 I am going to be taking a few days off to enjoy my family and savor this magical season of togetherness, family and friends, great food, downtime and doing a whole lot of nothing!

I will be back later in the week but do want to send a heartfelt greeting to each and every one of you, may your season be bright, full of hope and happiness, laughter and smiles. I thank you for following along with me this year, 2012 and look forward to what lies ahead!  The best is yet to come......

Merry merry Christmas from our house to yours!




Finally he decides to cooperate :) 

Teddy the "homeboy" says Merry Cbristmas too (these were a few shots from a mini photo shoot)!
