My Day :)

Hey Ya'll,

How is everyone doing today?  Has everyone finished their Christmas shopping?  Well, I started working on the tax prep again today (boring).  So tomorrow I will continue painting on my Mom's Vase of Roses.  Tonight we had a great dinner out with our daughter Kat & son Russ.  We went to PF Chang's.  They have one dish that I love!  It is also Kat's favorite dish so we always split it.  In the past, we could always finish it off at dinner.  But tonight, I ate less than half what I normally would have ate, so I brought the rest home for lunch tomorrow!!  And one of the nicest parts of the dinner was, Kat refused to let us pay.  She wanted to treat us!!  It is so great when your kids grow up & want to give back by taking you out to dinner!!

After dinner, Kat & Russ had to rush off to meet our oldest daughter Christa & our grand kids as well as my brother's children.  They always have a photo taken for Christmas.  So this is our annual Christmas picture being taken tonight.

While they were off getting their pictures taken, my DH & I went for our nightly walk.  It is getting so cold that & am going to have to go buy myself a full face mask for our walks!!  It has been dropping down into the 30's for our walk.  We live in California people!  We are not used to temperatures this cold!!  So we are not prepared with the proper outerwear.  I used to have the warmest scarf to wrap around my neck, but I haven't been able to found it.  I will continue to look but if I am unable to find it, I will be purchasing a new scarf as well!!  LOL

This just hit me as funny!  Here I have been complaining about how I wish I lived in a cooler environment, then it cools down & I am complaining!!  But seriously, if I had the proper outerwear, it wouldn't bother me so much.  I would rather bundle up than be unbearably, uncomfortably hot because you can only take off so much!!!

So with this, I will leave you with a few more photos of my Christmas Decorations.  One of them was a gift to me from my BFF last year.  I can't wait to be able to light it up!  It is a red Christmas Candle with a nice gentle scent which is great as I can't be around really strong scents due to my allergies.

Our mantle with some Xmas Decorations, lit up with Xmas lights.  Sorry they are a bit blurry.

And the same photo with the flash on.  Not nearly as pretty, but at least you can see it!

And the decorations on top of my Digital Piano.  The red candle is on the right side in front of the reindeer.

A closeup of the decorations on the left hand side.

And the decorations to the right.  The candle is on the end in front of the reindeer.  I believe it is a homemade candle.  Like I said, I can't wait to light it up.  I always light the candles on Christmas Eve when we have a big family gathering.

So that's all for tonight.  Till next time.

Aloha My Friends  :)
