Here is our Christmas tree for this year!
Earl and Rufio are enjoying it from the new recliner and new rug below. Notice that Tinkerbelle is our tree topper this year! She looks wonderful up there and has fiberoptic wings that change colors. Amber got her from Disney for me, and I love her. :) AND I have handmade ornmaments from friends on the tree, and that gives it special meaning. They are all with me in spirit this season!

This was a cheese ball that I made for a birthday celebration at work and one Thanksgiving. We decorated it like an elf! Heeeeeeee! You can do many different types of food decorations(he could be a snow man, a turkey, whatever. We served him with all kinds of veggies, celery, carrots, olives, etc. and crackers--the new wheat thins crackers with cashews are delish! :)

Hello, this is the Waukesha Christmas Parade that Amber and I attended today. I am sorry my pictures are so far down that you have to scroll like this(keep paging down, they are very separated by white space :( boooooooo BLOGGER). This is the second time I uploaded and Blogger just is misery!!!!! Anyways, you can see the parade was wonderful. Danny Gokey was there and the Racing Brewer's Sausages, the Grinch that Stole Christmas, many high school bands, cheerleaders, poms, Girls Scout troups, Churches, Floats,Old Cars, and much music and fun. It was cold, so we had to buy some hot chocolate, but we made it through! Thanks for a fun weekend Amber! <3
