It's 25 Bloody Degrees Outside!








It isn't supposed to be this cold, right? Aren't we supposed to be in the 40's or something like that? This my friends, is ridiculous! On Saturday, I didn't step foot outside of my house! Joe made a fire (in the fireplace!) and I sat in front of it, burning to death, while writing out the Christmas cards. I looked at him at one point and said, "This room could not be any more perfect." How do you like that for gratitude? It was great! The snow even came down a bit later that night. Anyway, I hear it's gonna get a little warmer this week, and am looking forward to it.

I decorated the house last weekend, and am sharing some pictures of my work. Why do we kill ourselves every year to put all of this junk out, and then take it down a few weeks later? I used my Mom's small Christmas tree again this year, and all of the ornaments we collected through the years -mostly things of Pat's; brought in the shell pencil tree from the sun room to the foyer; and decorated the top of the entertainment hutch. I loved all my creations this year - did some different things, and would love for it to stay up longer. We should start a tradition: let's take down our decorations on Valentine's Day!

Note my Bethany Beach Caroler. How cute is he? My sister-in-law got that for me this year on vacation.

Have a GREAT week, and STAY WARM!
