Even More Ice Cold Buddies

Our light up Frosty,
On top of kitchen cabinets,
And above bar cabinets, I really don't know how many snowmen I own, but if I still had them all, I would not have room for them in this house!

So Which Way Is Out

I was wrapping gifts the other day at my dining room table. Billy was trying to get close enough to see what I was doing. He started whining, because he couldn't get to me. You see, this pointsettia plant was in the way. Now mind you, all he had to do, was turn around and go back the way he came. But no...........I just let him be, and he finally found an opening beside the plant, and got to see what I was up to. He really loves Christmas! He knows that he will have some sort of special treat left under the tree. He has already been sniffing around the tree...........looking and hoping. But dogs, like kids, don't understand time. But they sure have great memories!

Rum Buddy Party

Remember these two Ice Cold Buddies? I just happened to get up during the night, cause I heard a lot of noise going on, out on the lanai.

Here is what I found! These guys were making all kinds of racket and just drinking away! See that rum bottle? Well.........it is empty! Wow! I wonder what Ralph will think when he finds out all his rum is gone? They sure had better get to the Packy, and replace it soon! (At least they used the snowman glasses.)
Not only that, but one of their friends was in the living room, dancing away to Christmas music! He is saying, "Oh No, we got caught"! I'll tell you, something is always waking me up here! First it could be sirens, or the dog, thunder, or it might be one of my kids, er BOYS, calling me at whatever hour. I NEVER suspected my "Ice Cold Buddies" would become a part of my loss of sleep!

Don't worry, I have warned them all, that if they don't behave, they will have to stay in the storage boxes next year!

Snowmen AKA SnowBill 1

While I was in Fairbanks AK, I ran across a person who did a lot of winter pictures! So......since my mom love snowmen so much, I had a bunch of pics done up with me as one, or near one. I had a lot of fun doing this, as I knew it would make my mom very happy! But...........I had to take my nice warm parka off to many times. So of course, I froze a bit. It is a wonder I have any ears left to hear mom whisper sweet nothings in them!

Happy, Happy Birthday Baby

Today, is my baby's 24th birthday! This is Greg, in his stocking, for his first Christmas. He has always had a true mind of his own. When he was only six weeks old, he was quite fussy for a few evenings in a row. It didn't take long for me to realize, the poor baby didn't want anything but his bed! Boy, when he wanted something, he sure let us know real fast! He was the funniest of my four children. If a day went by that he didn't make us laugh, he was probably ill. I have always been thankful for his humor. One of the best things about Greg was, you never knew what he was going to say or do next. It was not an easy task trying to stay one step ahead of him, his entire childhood.
Then.........many years later, Greg had his own son! Ayden is in many ways, just like his dad. I had always warned Greg that payback would be a bummer! I LOVE this photo of him and Ayden


This photo was taken recently, when I went to Massachusetts. When I look at it, I am still seeing and feeling the love!
So............Happy, Happy Birthday Baby! You are my favorite 2nd son. I am so proud of you! I pray for you everyday, and will continue to do so, for the rest of my life. I ask that everyone who visits my blog today, pray for you. God knows the need! I BELIEVE in miracles, after all, I had you for a son! You are one of MY miracles!

Ice Cold Buddies

I LOVE SNOWMEN! There is something about snowmen, that just makes me smile a really big smile! Then of course, who could not, when looking at their smiling faces! These two have a habit of traveling around my house this time of year. You might find them almost anywhere! I wonder where they will be sitting next time?
