HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Great Movie

I just finished watching this movie and can't tell you how wonderful it was! The time flew by; the story was engrossing and that is it true made it that much better. I would recommend it highly. Found out that Temple Grandin will be speaking at one of our local university in March! I plan to attend

Merry Christmas

from me and Santa

Stewie

Stewie, the elf on the shelf found an interesting place to hang out. So far Stewie has toilet papered the Christmas tree, dumped flour on the countertop and made snow angels and a few other mischievous things!

family holiday night at the foundry

Another great night at the Foundry Centre for the family. D and D coloring their Christmas box. The Centre had four stations. Pipe cleaner ornament, wreath making, air dried clay ornament and these tiny little boxes. They both took alot of time to get it just right.

the family.

After the hot chocolate and cookies we ventured up to the artist studios and watched a couple of artist paint. Both ladies were very nice to the little kids and asked them about their art work.

celebration of lights

R and I visited the Celebration of lights the other night. We did the walk thru. One night during the season, instead of driving thru you get walk and see the lights closer. There are craft vendors, hot chocolate, music, the lights, and fireworks!

We were lucky; it had rained all day but stopped as we arrived. I especially like this! O'fallon's own Loch Ness Nessie wearing a Santa hat.

Another of my favorites.

I was interview on the local cable television station during our walk. I hope I did ok; I don't have cable so I won't be able to see it!

book club december

This was our book for December. It was good, very predictable but a nice change from the heavy readings we have done.
