Now it is finally time for Part 2 of Trick-or-Treating… a few months later. I spent a lot of time working on videos recently and even though these pictures were all already edited, they kind of fell by the wayside but of course, I did not forget, so without further ado, here they are. If you’ve seen Part 1 of Trick-or-Treating for 2021 you’ll know that it was a gorgeous evening, we went out early for once, and got back in record time. We caught the most amazing sunset which made for a ton of spectacular images that I just…

Someone was nice and cozy beside the Christmas tree this evening!

Here’s wishing everyone a day filled with joy and the spirit of love and peace. Also, a visit from jolly old Santa Claus if you were good this year!

Probably the biggest present Bobo got this year was a giant and awesome play kitchen that inspires real kitchen envy from me. It’s so nice and pretty and I very much want a mommy version! He didn’t open it on Christmas day, so he had a while in between presents to sort of extend Christmas out a bit. Plus, this thing required a lot of set-up. You can see that from the two separate boxes! Which Bobo loved playing in, of course… Finally with Grampy’s help it got set up, and is now sitting in our living room taking up…

Friday was our library’s annual Christmas Tree Lighting, and of course Santa was there to do the honors and then ask all the little munchkins what they wanted. Bobo was sitting on him so nicely with his hands folded so sweet, and ventured to ask for Thomas trains and a Mickey Mouse toy. He was so well-behaved and looked adorable, so cute that a lady from the newspaper had to write down his name because she was sure the picture she took of him ‘was a keeper’. I’ll be checking tomorrow to see if he’s in there of course!

I’m a little obsessed with pre-sliced frozen holiday sugar cookies… they’re just so easy, tasty and cute! They used to have three different holiday designs for the whole year, and now they’ve caught on and made a ton, for every holiday. I’m surprised they didn’t have Martin Luther King Jr. ones. The sad thing is, I will buy any new holiday design they come up with! I’ve shared my love of these cookies with Bobo, and HE loves them because these are one thing that he can ‘make’ all by himself! He gets so excited when he sees these because…

So… what have I been up to during my downtime this holiday season? Well, besides manically changing the theme and style of this blog about 50 different times (still going with that, btw), I’ve been touring holiday homes across the country. Legitimate stalking ensues (stocking stalking, hee hee!).Nester’s site has a grand Christmas Tour with over a THOUSAND links people submitted to posts about their holiday decor. I cannot resist. If you have an hour or a million, go check it out if you haven’t already. Even though Christmas is over now, it’s still super fun, trust me.So, I may…

This basically sums up our Christmas morning! Lots of fun, family, and TOYS. We had a wonderful day, hope you all did too!

Once upon a time long ago there was a cozy house all decorated for Christmas. Logs burned merrily in the fireplace and a Christmas Tree glittered with lights as all was ready for Santa’s visit and a happy festive season of merriment and joy.

Previously Arin’s toys ruled the living room… but we had to make room for the Christmas tree. It’s a good thing we did, because we ended up with the fattest, widest tree ever! It takes up almost all the space that you see Arin clearing here. Isn’t he so sweet, deliberately picking up all his books and stacking them up on his chair?
