I'm another year older....ah! Oh well. My birthday was on Wednesday and I celebrated on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday with friends and family. I'm so spoiled. But it was great!!
Yesterday I spent some time at Tasha's house just chillin' out. It's so relaxing to do that, it something that I don't think either of us get to do very much. Baby Ben is adorable, I can't believe how big he's gotten. He's got to be the happiest smiliest baby ever!! And when she says he doesn't cry, she means it!! He's the perfect little man!!
I stole this meme from Tasha, I may have done it before in previous years but I'm sure no one remembers:)
1. Wrapping paper or gift bags?
Both, wrapping paper for those who open gifts at our house, bags for those whose presents we have to deliver.

Love it! But don't drink much of it, stomach ache central!
6. Favourite gift received as a child?
There were so many toys....pound puppies, my barbie dream house, my little ponies...

Kenny cannot wait until Christmas morning, so both.

Traffic & parking.

My ornaments aren't themed, most of them are hand-me-downs from when Kenny and I were kids, plus we have bought some news ones along the way. Our tree is pretty eclectic!!

When we were first married, I tried to buy a couple ornaments each year that represented something that happened in our lives the previous year. I remember "first christmas together", "new home", "new baby", an angel that represented my uncle's death, a dog ornament for our new puppy...you get the idea. These ornaments still hang on my tree each year - I wish I had kept up with that tradition!!
Hope you sent Tasha some much needed love! :-)
