Christmas Part 2

It seems like Christmas ran for days

with a lot of little Christmases and no 

real big Christmas this year.

Just kind of a different year for us.  

So the Christmas in yesterday's post

was actually on Monday the 23rd

since Sir Cuteness goes to his mama's 

for Christmas Eve

and then Christmas day until noon.  

On Christmas Eve I went and saw Dak.

He is just so sweet.

I might have been a bit happy to see my boy.

=)

My Mr. Winslow asked me what I wanted for Christmas.

I kicked over a few things,

but honestly, I don't need a thing.

But I did want to start Project Life this year,

and so he got me a PL kit.

I LOVE IT!!!

Such pretty colors.....

And look at this album.

So fantastic!!!

Then on Christmas

I made a little Christmas lunch 

and took it to my sweet mama.

She loved having a home cooked meal

on Christmas.....

And a gift she asked for didn't hurt either.

She wanted a whistling tea kettle.

So that is what we got her.

A red one of course.

I love my mama.

Then came home and watched one of my favorite

shows of the season:

A Yellowstone Christmas on PBS.

I LOVE this show.

Having been there on vacation many

years ago, it is so cool to see it all decked

out in white.

Love.

Then Skylar got home Christmas evening

and had a gift from Granny (my mom)

to open.

He sure does like a good present.

I had coffee and quiet time.

My favorite.

And then my favorite cousins were in from Louisville.

Here is Sir Cuteness and I waiting on them

to arrive.

After lunch we went to the mall.

And after our company left the mall

Sir Cuteness and I stayed and played.

He told me that He loved Grandma time

because we could do whatever we wanted.

Like shake the hands of the mannequins.

He was SO fascinated by them.

It was cracking me up!!

And we ate gummie frogs.

It was such a fun day!!

I got the iPhone 5s the week before Christmas,

and didn't have a case for it.

And my cousin Heather from Louisville

as soon as she saw it said,

"Get a case on that!"

I don't even think she had sat down yet.

Hahaha

So to make her feel better about it

I bought a case while I was at the mall.

Its funny though, this pic makes it look baby blue,

It is not.

I don't enjoy baby blue.

It is teal.

I enjoy teal.

With a little bling.

Girl likes her bling.

Then when we got home from that excursion,

Sir Cuteness had a package in the mail.

We had ordered these Carhardt overalls

for him, but they got caught in the UPS 

debacle, but boy did Amazon take care

of us.  

They refunded our shipping $$$ (we had it expedited)

and they gave us a $20 credit.

We really weren't upset they didn't get here until

the day after, but it was really nice that they

did such a good job of making it better.

We appreciate it Amazon.

We really thank you!

My knee has been acting up.

Boo.

I am back on my cane.

I'm over it.

But handling it well.

I just don't want to talk about it,

and whenever anybody who knows me sees 

me back on the cane, they want to know about it.

I just don't know what to say.

It is what it is, I suppose,

and with no doctor here willing to see me,

I guess I deal until I am in the mood to start

looking again.

So yeah.

That's probably the most I've talked about it.

=)

And then it all came down.

I usually do this the day after Christmas,

but with company in,

Sir Cuteness and I had fun stuff to do,

so it waited a day,

and then with the knee being hard to get along with,

My Mr. Winslow jumped right into help me.

He is so cool like that!!

And of course if there is tape,

or anything mechanical involved

Sir Cuteness is right in the thick of things.

And with that

Christmas is done for another year.

Sir Cuteness says HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

Have a Blessed and Beautiful Day ~~ 

Christmas: Winslow Style! Part 1.....

Welcome to my lovely styled blog.

Yep, still swooning!!

LOVE IT!!!

So today lets talk Christmas through pictures,

shall we?

Ok so blogger is irritating me!

Anybody else?

GRRR.....

I had all my pics IN ORDER 

and now they are just a jumbled mess

of Christmas packaging.

Oh well,

we will move right on and enjoy them.

Shall we?!

=)

PaPa told us the Christmas story with Sir Cuteness

perched right up on his lap.

It was THE single sweetest moment of the holidays

for me.

After the story, 

PaPa asked Sir Cuteness if he was

ready for gifts

and Sir Cuteness didn't hesitate.

I love the heart of children.

PaPa asked who would be the first to get a gift,

and of course you would expect him to say

he was,

but he said daddy.

And then he proceeded to give out gifts to everyone.  

And then he was the last one to get his

gifts.

This is so rare.

What a precious child he is.  

Side note:  This is the 2nd year

that Sir Cuteness has done Christmas

with no shirt.

Hahahaha......

Oh this boy.

He is just THE best!!

Yes folks that is Operation.

We always get Sir Cuteness a new game.

Last year was Chutes and Ladders.

He LOVES Operation.

We are having a lot of fun with this game!

The cuteness people.....

the cuteness.....

Yes he did get a vintage 1997 

(man that doesn't seem vintage to me =)

Ninja Turtle helmet.

Daddy did some ebay-ing =)

Oh goodness.....

a spoon people.

Give me a spoon!!

He is the cutest thing!!!

'nuff said.

The Sunday before Christmas 

I came around the corner from getting

Sir Cuteness' breakfast before church

and he was just sitting in front of the tree

looking at the lights.

He has so enjoyed the tree.

Writing on some packages.

Sir Cuteness and I have a little spot we stop at

before school and pray together.

This was after one of our prayers.

Oh how I love him.

Pray changes things ya know.

Just sayin' 

Daddy getting his watch from Sir Cuteness.

Getting out one of my presents.....

hahaha.

He got me walking sticks for hiking.

I love them SO SO much!!!

Thank you Sir Cuteness!

PaPa opening up his yard stick from Sir Cuteness.

Yep, daddy got him a Ninja Turtle bike.

YES!!

He loved it!!!

See.

Told ya.

Oh Sir Cuteness

how we love you!!!

So this is part 1 of Christmas....
Stay tuned.....

Have a Blessed and Beautiful Day ~~ 

Random Friday.....A Poem

Oh good grief 

it is the Friday 

before Christmas

and all through the house,

every present is NOT bought

and no dinner planned out.

My house is a mess,

but the tree IS trimmed,

No egg nog to drink,

but there is coffee in hand.

Our grand babe is excited

to know Christmas is coming,

Lots of fun to be had

if this elf will stop ho-humming.

I must finish shopping and finish today.

I must buy a ham

and plan a dinner some way.

But in the midst of it all 

I'll not worry nor fret.

The shopping will get done,

and the presents I'll get.

The true meaning of Christmas

shall always remain.

A babe in manger

He came to save.

So this Christmas,

curl up with your family

and read the Christ story.

It is the reason we celebrate,

and the reason to bring Him glory.

~~~

I love you so!!!

Have a Blessed and Beautiful Day ~~

Random Friday is BACK!! HOLLA HOLLA!!!

Good Friday Morning to you!!!

And yes you read that correctly

RANDOM FRIDAY IS BACK!!

It seems that having my own laptop to post on

really does help me do more posting.

Go figure.

And thank you so much for reading.

And loving me.

Especially loving me.

I love you too!!

And reading.

And commenting.

And loving me.

So for this Random Friday

I will give a list in pictures.

This guy turned 50 this week!!

WOW!!!  

I love him.

He is the best of men!!

  I had a photo bomber afoot.

Literally =)

(I love this dirty little sock boy).

=)

I braided my hair to the side.

Had a photo bomber mouse in the studio.

I don't like mice.

But I do like Freddy.

He's been in the family for 17 years.

Sir Cuteness has a deep fondness for him.

Its because he's old.

anyway.....

I chewed on the ear of my wee babe.

These have ruined my diet!!!

Delishious little buggers.

RUINED.

Made cookies with these two fav's.

We laughed so hard.

Yep, a beautiful day in the neighborhood

with these two!!

Yes it has definitely been a fun week,

and one that has lent itself nicely to Random Friday!!

Have a Blessed and Beautiful Day ~~
