My Dad's heart surgery

Just a quick post since I know my Dad reads this blog. Dad, I hope you are gaining strength each day and I hope you come home from the hospital today!! I am thinking about you and hope your heart is as good as new!! (He had a defective valve which hopefully is working property now) And I hope your coughing has subsided a bit. Love you!

My annual girls xmas party

My new addition this year... Mister Bojangles!
Notice my icicle dessert tray on the table... it was quite a hit!
Everyone including Jules who made it back from Costa Rica to celebrate with us!
Presents from our secret santa gift exchange....

I had so much fun preparing for this year's xmas party. I baked all kinds of cookies and sweets which was a first for me. I love sweets so I am surprised this was my first year doing that. We got the house all decorated and put lights up outside. For dinner, Brandy and I made stuffed pork chops with a yummy berry glaze. So delicious! We had a great evening together.
