Preggo Chalet

Cracker and Chalet are going to have a baby in about 30 days. They had some awesome pictures taken. Go to leavittphoto.blogspot.com to view them. WE (oh I mean me) are so excited, we (I) can't hardly stand it. January 22nd is the official date. I'll keep you posted!

Snow Puppy

Our puppy, Chloe, loves the snow. We have to watch her though, she will wander off and her little feet get to cold and she will just stand there and not move. She will have snow balls on her under side. We just love her!

The Sites of Christmas

Our tree at the cabin. It is pretty skinny, kinda a Charlie Brown tree. I told Con that I didn't want a really tall this year ( to hard to decorate by yourself) so we went a hunting for a tree, found one and the next day Con took the grandkids to cut it down, well let's just say he didn't bring the one that I had pick-out, but I love it!






I love Christmas time in the mountains beacuse there is always some snow and the wind is usually not blowing.

Notice the icicles hanging off the roof :-)

Christmas Traditions

I don't remember to many of my families traditions as I was growing up but the one that I do remember is Christmas Tree sweet breads. My grandma Albers, my mom mother, would make these every year. That traditions was past down to my mom and you guessed it to me. My girls are keeping this tradition alive and are making the Breads. They are the best with lots of cream cheese frosting and then warmed up in the microwave. I am waiting for the grandkids to get here to decorate.

Thanksgiving Time

Well, Turkey Day was great. The turkey tasted even better this year. Don't know why, but it did. Con and I went to find a couple of trees and ended up taking home four. One for the cabin, one for the house, and then two of the kids took the other two. I love the smell of a fresh tree in the house. Got the one at the cabin decorated. I am amazed that every year I use the same decoration and the tree is different every year. I have missed placed my camera, so that means no pictures just now. Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving and had time to think about all the things that we have to be thankful for. THINK to THANK.

Castle for Jaycie

Chalet's friends and sister are giving her a shower on Saturday and they asked me to make a diaper cake. I have a friend who had already made one so I had a pro to help with this one. I think that it turned out pretty dang cute. My friend also knitted the darling hat that is on top and the little shoes. Chalet has about 73 days left but who is counting! (Grandma Vicki is)

I am amazed at the suff they can do in the medical field. Yesterday, I had an angiogram on my heart. The wonderful news is that I have NOT ONE clogged aretery or vein in my heart. My heart likes to have spasms and so we will correct that with medication. The doctors,techs and nurse were all so helpful.. Hats of to all those who work in the medical field.
