Day 9 of living in PJs

Recovering from surgery...days sure drag by.
Kids back to school today.  Well, only Drama Queen made it today.  Boy Wonder is home sick with a cough.  Mr.Smith is taking care of everything.  He even took this picture of my cards and gifts that I received from friends and family. 

All went well with my surgery-just need time to heal.
Time for a nap!

Preop appt is this morning.

Cheap,Fast,Easy Christmas Card Display

Step 1. Gather Christmas Cards and a roll of tape.


Step 2. Find an empty door (our front door).

Step 3. Tape Cards onto door.


Step 4. Repeat when more cards arrive in mail.


As far as traditions go, apparently taping cards to the back of our front door is a tradition.  Boy Wonder got the mail the other day and pointed out that we needed to start taping our cards to our door.

No fancy card holder needed.

A Very Simple Christmas

As I mentioned before this will be a very simple Christmas for us.

I mean really simple.


Wrapped the gifts today.




Ah yes the stockings....I know not a "perfect" shot of lovely stockings....Nope just stockings that are hanging kinda of funky.

I added the candle canes for a little color.



Best thing about those candy canes....I found them in the garage in a bag probably from last year after Christmas sales...I love "shopping" my garage.


Added some red and white ribbon to the candles.


My stocking hanger that I had custom made for us years ago.

This is my newest addition which my Mom bought for me this year.

Isn't he cute?

Excuse the lumpy mess of a couch...Snow's favorite perch is on the back corner of the couch.


I even wrapped the couch and chair in my pieces of quilt. Only this time I flipped it to the green and white ticking side.


Yes, even Snow matches the Christmas decor this year!
