Happy Holidays.....A little late

Happy Holidays.....A little late

After Ed and I came back from vacation, my dad surprised us by decorating the front of our house.


We went to my parents house last Saturday to celebrate Christmas. I came down with pneumonia so my family was really sweet to wait until I was better to celebrate.

Ed and I got together with all my friends and their significant others after the holidays at Brooke and Alex's house in Columbia, IL.


The girls did a $10 gift exchange and the guys did a separate $10 gift exchange



Alex with his new hat! Perfect for our single digit weather.

I love Brooke and Al's ornaments,...I couldn't resist.

That was so sweet of your dad to decorate the front of the house for Christmas. He did a great job. And is that a new bench on the porch or am I just a bad friend and don't remember?

The house front looks awesome ... must be the work of whomever painted the brick art :) ... so I was wondering, am I your only brunette friend?
