Seasonal Snaps

Yeehaw to a New Year!

Adventures in dual driving on the short trip out to my parent’s house on Christmas Eve…

Ted is such a control freak

Ted is such a control freak he had to help steer, naturally.

Where were welcomed with holiday delight…

What makes the holidays go 'round

What makes our holidays go ’round

And played our favorite dice game of Left Right Center.

Good luck charm

Ted’s thinks he’s my good luck charm.

Must be included, of course

This was my supper plate

Teddy had to be coaxed out of bed Christmas morning with a little Merry Christmas ribbon and promises of cat nip under the tree.

And I had to be coaxed out of my slumber with a mimosa, which took all of two seconds.

Ahh...

Ahh…Christmas mornings taste so good!

Of course all of the Christmas commotion was taking attention away from Ted, so he sat right in the middle of the unwrapping action.

Nestled all in his tissue heaven.

Miami…what a hard way to bring in the new year.

I know how sorry you’re feeling for me.
