The OCD side of my personality got to play today....my recent purchases of organizers have been put to use in the pantry....AND both refrigerators got cleaned after all the holiday dinners and parties.

I was definitely the fashion queen today....NOT! And definitely no pictures today!
I have been having an awful time with my knees, so I had made an appointment with my orthopedic PA to get cortizone shots today. It was a work day, and Tater's first day back to MDO...my appointment was 8:40am, Tater had to be dropped off around 9:00, and I was due at the office by 9:15.
Surprise! The PA decided she wanted new x-rays. Not only did this mean it would take considerably more time, but it also meant Tater was going to have a fun adventure in the X-Ray Dept! (Thanks, Lucas and Nolen for entertaining the three-year-old full of questions!)
Now, because I was going to work today, I was wearing my gray dress slacks with a white blouse and brick-red blazer with black boots....quite nice for the office. However.....knee x-rays require you to wear these very chic paper shorts. So here I am strolling around in my white blouse, red jacket, bright blue size XXXXXX paper shorts, gray knee socks.......nice....at least I had taken off the back ankle boots! Seriously, I could have put my WHOLE BODY in one of the legs in these shorts!
So Tater was late for school, and I was late for work....but that's okay....it was a fun and educational morning for a three-year-old! And I'm sure I brightened someone's day just by seeing me walking down the hallway in my fashion crime attire!!

YES! I've been waiting for this Monday to arrive! Love Christmas, love the holiday decor & parties & food, love having family together, love having houseguests, love our New Year's Day party...BUT...I really love routine.
And today starts the routine...Jenni is back at work which means Tater is back at Nana's, getting the rest of the Christmas decor packed away and put in the shed and getting the 'regular' decor back in its place!
One of my favorite times with Tater....nap time....he gets a cuddly animal from the basket (unless he's brought his own), a couple of books, we read and laugh and snuggle and maybe sing 'Jesus Loves Me'...then I give him a kiss and turn on his music CD.
"Nap, Nap.....I love you!"

First Lord's Day of the New Year! Spent the morning in Bible Study with friends and in worship with our Lord. Dinner guests of Buck Smith and his fiancee, Mary, in celebration of her New Year's Day Birthday! They are to be married on Saturday, January 23!
Spent the afternoon getting the rest of the Christmas decor down and packed away. By early evening, I was pretty wiped out, so I parked myself on the couch and read a book...actually my Kindle....how did I ever get along without my Kindle? Never again without a book to read!

Party's over....Christmas is over....New Year's is over....time to get the house back in pre-Christmas order! Got the lights down off the house and the two Christmas trees down and packed away. The rest will wait for tomorrow. Finished the evening off with dinner at The Wharf and going to a movie....Blind Side....awesome movie! Awesome day with my favorite guy!!
Speaking of my favorite guy.....this is what he gave me for Christmas! A carousel of Disney Princesses!!
This is how it looks on the piano with some of my other carousels....including the picture on the wall!
My gift to him....a set of Capholon cookware and a mixer stick....he calls it his motor boat....he got to try it out making creme brulee for New Year's Day!
Our gift to each other....Elfa Closet Systems to organize our closets! Don't have them yet...just went on sale Dec. 26....but I'll be ordering them this week....pictures will soon follow!

Our annual New Year's Day Open House/Game Day! We have had this annual gathering of friends for about 9 years now! What an awesome way to start off a new year! This year's gathering was about 42....and there were about 10 of our friends who were not here who have been here almost every year. Much sickness and one of our dear friends had a stroke early that morning...she is home now and expected full recovery with therapy and a little pill every day...praise the Lord!
I didn't do so well taking pictures after a while...I didn't even get pics of the food tables which were overflowing! But we had a great time! In past years, we've always played Chicken Foot....anywhere from 10 to 13 people playing around this table!! But this year, we got a new game for Christmas....Apples to Apples....and everyone loved playing it! We may have a new tradition!
Another 'new' thing this year, our dear friends Rick & Ann came over New Year's Eve to help us cook and get stuff ready, then stayed late on New Year's to help clean up! We love you, Rick & Ann!!
Daily???
OK, so my niece has started this awesome 365 Project where she takes....and posts....a picture of each of her two girls....every day! What an awesome idea! What an awesome undertaking with two little ones!!
But I have decided, that even though I am already six days late in starting, I am going to try to post at least something every day...some days there will be pictures and some days there will not. Some days may be exciting, most decidely other days will not! And I admit, this is a little selfish....it will help my memory immensely, especially when it comes time to write next year's Christmas letter!!
So, I'm going to play catch-up and briefly blog on each day of this new decade, 2010....and until I figure out how to change the dates on the posts, they will all read Jan. 6, 2010!
