Did you hear the news? No? There’s a brand new Suzanne in town.
Actually, she arrived a few years ago. The less-stressed-less-crazed Suzanne.
Ok, on occasion the crazy Suzanne shows her face, but mostly she’s all chill and laid back.
{hey, lets check her pulse and make sure she’s still with us}

We had a great Thanksgiving. I had my head in the oven only for a few minutes….ya know, trying to rearrange those shelves, and I worked up a sweat. But I got through it with a lot of help from my people. It was a good day, but it seemed to fly by…back in the day we had a huge crowd and we visited, we ate, we played football and then ate again.
This year it was all visiting and the ONE meal, then bam it was over.
A small group of 10.

I had the trees up on Saturday. If you recall last year we were living in the midst of a huge renovation and we didn’t get to decorate….so I wasted NO time this year.
I believe this time last year I was convincing my electrician to put an outlet on this sliver of a wall in the family room. (I’m short on walls, but big on GLASS!) I knew I needed a nice spot for our big tree and voila!

It’s all turquoise, white, silver and pretty.
And it’s got that personal touch of my DNA.
Relax….DNA = pictures of my girlies!

I add new pics every year and I’m thinking I’ll continue doing that until someone demands that I stop.

And the sweet little tree has a nice cozy spot too.

This one is covered in homemade ornaments, pics of the girls and silly stuff, like Hello Kitty, GLEE and scuba diving bees.
