'Tis the season

Christmas season is here, and I love it!  Even if it involves ugly sweaters....

Take a look at our baby tree in the background. We've had that thing since our first Christmas in '08


Justy's work had an Ugly Christmas Sweater Party, and it was a lot of fun.  Justin didn't have an "ugly" sweater so I (we) made him that sweater with lots of glue & safety pins.  You can't see it..but the bells on the snowman's scarf have bells that jingle.  Love it!

I knew there was going to be a lot of not-so-healthy food at this party.  So, I do what I always do....and brought a healthy side dish.  Veggie tray (carrots, broccoli, celery, cauliflower, cucumbers) with dip.  I do this A LOT, because I figure if there is nothing else that healthy, at least I can load up on the side dish I brought.  Good tip for the holidays! 
Not mine, but it looked similar.  YES for veggies!

This is unrelated, but I've been thinking a lot about the signs that I'm getting old.  One sign is how much social networking can drive me crazy!  Is it just me....or do young adults/teenagers think that it's ok to post whatever thought comes to mind for their entire friend base to see, even if it is completely rude, obnoxious, or downright inappropriate.  Why, oh why?  Obviously we are all entitled to an opinion or thought....but it doesn't mean it should be shared.  I think these particular young adults/teenagers need to practice some self control....or the consequences are going to bite them in the bum!!  

There we go....proof that I am becoming an old woman.
