 I think my son had as much fun...
as Stringbean with the Rocket...

Sure does tug at my heart strings...
when I see my baby boy...
enjoying his baby boy....

 I was thinking how much I don't like our cold weather...
when a fellow blogger showed her temperature...
-15....I guess I should stop complaining...
How many days till Spring????
We have had some pretty skies...
I played with this one just a bit in PicMonkey...
I just adjusted the color a tad...
Yes Sandra aka Madsnapper and I...
have a lot in common....
2014 has gone by too fast...
it has been a good year....
I hope 2015 slows down a bit...

 Stringbean got a Rocket ship...
from his other Grandpa...
we went to the park to try it out today....
 the box said it would go up to 40 ft....
we didn't want to chance loosing it over a fence...
or having some certain dog...or dogs...
catching it....

It didn't take long for him to get the hang of it...

 This was the sky as we were leaving the park....
 This was the sky when I woke up this morning...
the day started out really cold...
with frost on the ground...
The sun came up...it warmed up a bit...
but then the temps dropped....

it was nice while it lasted....
Stringbean had quite a Christmas this year...
5 Christmas celebrations...
he got to ride on a horse at his Aunts...
my DIL's sister's house...
His Aunt (my daughter) and her Boyfriend...
took him ice skating as part of his Christmas gift...
he loved it...but couldn't understand why they wouldn't let 
go of his hands....he told them he was the best
skater there...I don't have photos...
it was their special time...
his Mommy and Daddy went to watch...
 they made a short video...
My DIL and I took him to the movies on Christmas Eve
afternoon...we saw Penguins of Madagascar...
it was cute...





There is nothing better for a cold day...
Mom's chicken vegetable soup..



We had our third Christmas on Saturday...
At my Mom's home...it was a fun...loud...family night...with two four year olds...two dogs...nine adults...



My Mom made me these cute pillows...



She also gave me a really special gift...
This was my Nanas bed spread...I slept warm and cozy under it many times...



I spent a little time playing with my camera....getting some fun shots of my not so pretty tree...





Happy Monday...enjoy the last week of 2014....

 I can't believe this sweet young lady...
is old enough to get married...

 she is graduating from college this year...
she will be a Teacher...
a very good one too...
she is a dancer from my daughters studio...
I remember her as a 10 or 11 year old...

 her future husband is a really sweet guy...
he was very patient and co-operative...

 they both grew up theater kids...
The Dallas Arts District is where they went on dates...
in high school...
so what better place to have photos...

 Young love is so sweet...

they also showed me a new spot...
a reflection pool...
the possibilities are endless...
I had a great weekend...
Fun Girl Christmas party...
with Ugly Sweater contest...
White Elephant gift exchange...
we had so much fun!
Linda from Linda's life Journal was there...
we all adore Linda...she is so much fun...
and such a sweet lady!
I almost ended up with one of her paintings...
but it was swiped away from me....
lots of fun coming up next week...
Linda's Christmas Tea...
Stringbeans Christmas program at school...
Christmas with my Dad....
I am a blessed girl...
