just a little of what is going on in my part of the woods recently;

 my dad went to a work party at this new restaurant downtown.. there was so much left over dessert that my dad decided he'd take a cupcake home for each of us. they were from cheesecake factory and absolutely delish.. mine obviously was red velvet

 terry works with a bunch of women. so apparently enough of these women received girls from their men that terry figured he would also be sweet. on international womens day.. he brought me a bouquet of flowers and brought my mom a rose :)

 one a sunday in march.

 the weather got up to 15 degrees.. the water at tiffany falls was rushing fast down stream.

fresh batch of ginger molasses cookies.. 

instagram diary..

christmas is in two days! i cant wait for way for turkey dinner and apple pie, family and merry christmas hugs!.. heres a little christmas-y picture post in honour of the up coming celebrations.

 my aunt came over and brought guinness a bag full of christmas gifts for the little fur ball. raw hide, cookies, toys and more cookies (and a gift card for me - i usually use petsmart gift cards for when i take him to the groomers)

our christmas tree all decorated and lit up                              home made egg nog (with baileys/rum)

i went to a work christmas party with a blind gift exchange. basically each person was to bring a gift worth approximately $15.00. everyone picked a number and beginning at number 1, each person was allowed to pick a gift from under the tree and open it or they were allowed to steal a present from someone else who had already opened one (there were 36 of us). the only rule was that each gift was only allowed to be stolen 3 times. once the 4th person has it, that gift is theres and no one can steal it. i was number 36! i got to have last choice and i ended up choosing the book and the coffee (absolutely perfect for me!).

 guinness got into our dads christmas present from my aunt. my mom caught him down stairs eating this chocolate bar. not good guinness, not good!
