Greetings!

so sorry I have not been blogging. Things got kind of hectic around Christmas. Places to go, food to munch, presents to open.
The holidays this year were quite fabulous! we had drinks we had amazing food, and we had a few surprises.
the first, is the birthday/Christmas gift from my beloved "uncle" (pictured above)
there is a story behind this one (as is much of what we do)
you see, when he was here visiting for thanksgiving, we had to get some starbucks (the man is addicted!)

• so, we are driving to the starbucks that JUST opened in my neighboorhood. there was a sign out front, almost identical to the one pictured (the stand up kind) that had the starbucks logo, and the words "NOW OPEN" on it. Jokingly i turned to him and said "lets steal that!" he took me seriously. pulled off to the side and was getting ready to jack the sign. "NO! we cant! there are too many cars!" so it was on to get coffee and do our thing. i completely forgot about it, until my nana called me and told me there was a very special gift for me at her house. So i went on over chirstmas eve. i opened it and OH MY! it was perfect! i would have to say it is the most unique gift i have ever recieved. i really love it! for those who have been to our house, i put in the the landing right when you come in the front door. the "tigers lair" well, thats another quite interesting story. his nickname for me has always been Tiger. one of those things that just sorta came into play when i was visiting. he is the ONLY one though that calls me that, which makes it even cooler

booda, not to be left out, got Christmas presents too!

We did christmas eve out in yearington, nv. it was good. one of joes aunts introduced me to MUDSLIDES. mmmm. god i love those things!.... we came home to sleep for awhile and then dug right into Christmas! Joe got a set of binoculars from my grandparents. they will come in very handy, since we have a huge mountain for a backyard!

"why didn't i think if wearing these earlier"

after the festivities, Joe hooked up his new playstation and i proceeded to fall asleep on the couch....

booda however played with all his new toys! he got so many new chew toys so maybe, just maybe he will leave my socks alone!
