baby, it's cold outside

It is my Thursday ;)
SO glad i have a 3 day weekend!
This weekend I HAVE to get some present shopping done!
We are behind on our shopping this year.
We’ve had a few unexpected set backs recently.

Today in the frozen tundra,
we are having a blizzard!
It is super windy and snow is a fallin.

I don't like snow, being cold or bundling up.

I know I live in the wrong state.

Work is crazy busy, go figure!
I know that is a good thing though.
I’ve started blogging at night to attempt to stay caught up on ya'll!!

Did anyone watch Biggest Loser last night?!

What a great finale!!!

This was my first season watching, I'm officially hooked!

I want to share a couple pics from this weekend.
Saturday, my brother and Dominic came over to watch the WILD hockey game.
Sunday, I just cleaned and did laundry.
We made quite the mess on Saturday night.
We had a lot of fun playing though.

Anyone out there want to exchange holiday cards?

I have done this with a few blogger friends so I’m curious if anyone else is interested?!

I love getting cards in the mail!!

If so, email me - chaptersofourlife@yahoo.com

our home is decked for the holidays!

I finally have pictures of our holiday decor!

The crazy tree topper I threw together.
Billy thinks it looks like a mardi gras tree.
I just wanted it to look fun!
The kitchen counter.

Our stockings, I can't find Gussy's it says "The Boss" on it and has a photo of him!

Dominic was over and watching Nemo ;)

Cute little blocks from Target!

This is hanging on our front hall closet door.

My decor is all different colors but it flows good throughout the main floor.

I have a couple little things in the upstairs level but no photos.

I hope everyone had a great weekend!! :)

I am going to do a weekend recap later in the week!

That's all folks!
