On Christmas Break

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year from my family to yours!  

I will be taking a blogging break the next two weeks to spend time with my family.  I will be back to a regular blogging schedule January 7th.  In the meantime, here are a few photos from my Thanksgiving Break.  My son-in-law and I took turns taking photos so we could each be in one photo.



We did a girl's day out to see "Wicked For Good".  It was great, but not as great as the first movie, imo.


Unfortunately a bad snowstorm was brewing for the day my family had to head back home, so we decided it was best for them to leave a day early.  It was sad to cut our visit with them short, but better safe than sorry.  We had plans to go to a small town Christmas Parade that evening, but my husband and I ended up going alone.  It was quite the sweet parade.  I was amazed at all the people that turned out for it and how nice all the floats were for a small town.



I loved the little Alpaca with the Santa hat!




It is so fitting to have a tractor and wagon all decked out for Christmas in the nation's heartland. 















I thought this was a clever, quick and easy way to do a Christmas Parade float...just fill a truck bed with light up inflatables, 




Small town celebrations are the best!

Have A Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!  Amy

  3. So nice to see the whole family around your Thanksgiving table. I am sorry your time together was cut short but glad they were able to get home before the storm. Enjoyed seeing the floats from the little parade. You are right, inflatables make an adorable, easy float!!

    1. Thanks Leslie. I guess winter storms are the one thing you never have to worry about living in Arizona. They are a part of life here in Wisconsin.
