Dang need more wheeties

I need to eat more wheeties cause I can only open half the hot tub! Dean is at work, Maddie is out, I am freezing so I thot I'd jump into the hot tub, as it turns half the tub will have to do lol!

Evar's Birthday

Tonight we went to the Flatiron for Evar's birthday. The food there is so good, Me and Dale had to narrow down our choices and make a decision. Dale ordered one of my choices so I had to try hers when it came... damn it was good too! Usually there aren't enuff choices.... here there are too many lol!

 Yay, pretty Bellini's were the special tonight... not ugly ones, only pretty ones

Dale and Evar ... say cheese :-) 

 Evar's beer was as big as his head!!

me and Dean :-) 

Fun night, thanx Dale and Happy birthday Evar!

The tree is pretty again

 So the tree has been up since uhmmm September, but that was the Halloween tree, so I undecorated it and replaced the orange lights with white ones and then it sat for a bit waiting for Maddie to be home to decorate it with me. So tonight... she was home! And even though she isn't feeling great, kinda sniffly and tired she still kicks butt in the spirit department and looked cute as a button as an elf! 

With Christmas Carols in the background and
hot chocolate in the mug we started our decorating....

The tree's all pretty again, no skeletons hang about,
only frosty friends and  cheery  things :-)

Oops is that Santa caught red handed???

Pj Party

I went to my first ever Pajama Christmas party, and I have never been more comfy! lol How often do you sit on the floor and cross your legs at a party? Lizette put on a feast, ( and I could eat forever - elastic waist lol) 

One of Lizette's  friends made the cutest cake balls, there were so
many yummy foods I wish I'd taken more pics of it!

Lizette and Megan were the baby whisperers! (Megan's word lol ) 

me, Lizette and Megan, pigtails were the hairstyle of the evening!

That's Megan's, Otto's and my number for the white elephant Christmas present game. I had 23 and I thot that was a bad number, but as it turns out, I was 23 of 24, so I almost picked last! 

Neil got he first gift of the evening that was one of the 3 sought ofter gifts, oddly enuff everyone was fighting over the nerdy gifts! One bad thing about being last was one of the kewl items was frozen because it had already been stolen 3 times. All 3 nerdy gifts were frozen by the end of the night! Neil's 1991 Dungeons and Dragons cards were stolen soon after this picture!

Lizette almost got to keep this awesome leather wine container complete with wine, cork screw and other wine accessories. She tried to offer it everyone and her evil plan was working but in the end, it was stolen!

Sought after gift #2, I would've have tried for this one but :-( it was frozen lol, a Wookie cook book!!! the recipe names were hilarious!!!

Megan got a wall sticker and Otto got the 3rd sought after gift the Yoda stocking! the gift exchange was fun and entertaining! I ended up getting my first choice stolen, the mini version of brainteasers, but i ended up with really kewl candle holders! 

awesome party Lizette and Neil!!

Winnipeg Fame

The other day Maddie showed me a you tube video which blew me away!! This kid is 16, and he made a video using an SLR CAMERA!! yes a regular camera, it looks like a professional video! Not only is the quality amazing, the kid plays all the instruments himself and edited it to perfection, please watch, and be amazed as I was!! Way to go Winnipegger Sean!

Christmas party 2011

Yay the staff Christmas party is finally here!! We always have so much fun, lots of giggles.... and then lots to scrapbook after!

this year the party was at Megan's house. She decorated beautifully, even though the house is up for sale right now!

I have so many pictures of Nola, taking pictures.... but I have never seen any of these pictures.... hmmm a new person to hound!

Lizette, looking like a princess :-)

Carolyn sent a text to Gloria that she was going to "out shoe" her tonight.... this is the shoe.

the table setting at my seat

Lisa and Beth

Holly and Lizette

all the "Secret Santa" presents.... we have to explain next year what SECRET means...lol it's too easy to "CSI" when you know half the room!

me and Carolyn, she was trying to get her shoe in this picture too, but I was too quick!

Megan played and sang a Christmas song.... uhmmm.... it was Beautiful! She belted out the lyrics and it made some of us teary eyed... ahem... I know I wasn't the only one! Fess up you guys!

and I didn't know Dianne could play piano! She sat down and started playing Piano Man... kewl!

the bag giftys, and the battle of the gloves. It took me a couple of years to figure out that Gloria is the glove gifter, since no one was left that has worked there longer, and i knew it wasn't Carolyn, it had to be her.... but then..... this year there were 2 pairs of gloves.....

so Kelly opens her gift, and she doesn't know who her secret Santa is.... and then she sees a phone at the bottom the bag.... oopsy Carolyn had to claim the phone and gave away her secret!!

I made a video this year, of some prime moments from the store.... now I have an order for disc 2~ start sending pictures lol

Ang's secret Santa got her the Go Canada cricut cartridge.... lol the clue was her name written with the cartridge font!

Beth, lookin cute in her new hat.... and who was your Secret Santa Beth?

the first thing in my bag, was a box from the "stinkin stamp maker" I hissed, but when I opened it, it was a Zumba disc! Yay.... but lol now I know who bought my gift :-) Glorrrria

Megan got the cutest cookie jar on the planet!

Our shoe Queen, got a bag with shoes on it, and inside, a shoe calendar. I wonder if Gloria has any of the shoes featured!

Once again a fantabulous night! So much fun! Thanx Megan for hosting in your pretty setting!

hugs all, and feel free to send pix and recipes my way :-)
