pitiful (looking) Sophie

All Sophie wanted was for someone to play with her or pet her. She wasn't amused with the picture-taking.

Chloe and the tree

I'm wondering how she's going to react when we take the tree down this week.

leaning tower of snow

The sun came out today and began to melt our snow. This snow got stuck on it's way down from the top of one of the lights.

snow in Lake Waccamaw!

We went home today. This is what we woke up to:

Snow. In Lake Waccamaw. That rarely happens, much less THIS MUCH snow. The drive home was not fun.

Merry Christmas!

My sister-in-law brought her cat over to her parents house for Christmas. This was after he ripped his Christmas tie off.

decorated (plastic) horse

I introduced you to this plastic horse last month. The people who own the plastic horse decorated it for Christmas.

They must be serious about their horse. And I have to ask - why does someone want a life-sized plastic horse in their front yard?

Meet Sarah

We spent time with Sarah, the chihuahua, this evening. She's a pretty sweet dog.

winter at Lake Waccamaw

We arrived in Lake Waccamaw today. It's pretty cold, cloudy and foggy. Those conditions still make for a pretty picture.

gift-wrapping help

Chloe was bored just watching me wrap presents today, so she jumped on the table to help.

multitasking

A look at my passenger's seat - my purse, phone, MyAgenda and sticky notes to keep me even more organized.

pumpkin pie

I made pumpkin pies with gingerbread men (cut out of pie crust) on top.

The recipe was my great-grandmothers. And the pies (there were two) turned out great!

snuggly Chloe

Really poor quality photo of Chloe and me (and heavily cropped.) But she was SO sweet, and I tried to capture it.

I saw a rainbow today

It was a small rainbow, but I tried to get a photo anyway.
121710
This has to be some sort of good luck. I'm just saying....

Another ornament. This one was painted by me (there's a set of 3 that I painted.)

chocolate goodness

I made almost five dozen of the peanut blossoms this evening.

Don't they look yummy?

for real snow

as opposed to fake snow.

We really had snow overnight. This is the back of our house. And a reminder that I need to clear off branches that land on the roof.

snowy hill

The thing I dislike most about the snow is the hill next to our house.

cat under the Christmas tree

Chloe likes the fact that there's a tree skirt and presents for her to hide in beneath the Christmas tree. It makes things interesting.

snowflake pie

I made a pie tonight with snowflakes (instead of leaves.) I love my piecrust cutters from Williams-Sonoma!

This was pre-baking.

Biltmore entrance

Even the entrance to the Biltmore Estate is pretty, especially at Christmas.

warning sign

by the time I got to the "warning" sign, I already knew traffic was slow or backed up.
