Things Making Me Happy Today....

My sunny, cozy kitchen.

Filling my cookie jar with freshly baked chocolate chip cookies. 

Cody, home where he belongs......

             

One Last Holdiay Recap.

I really tried to make myself like New Years Eve this year. It kind of worked. It's still not my favorite, but I have fun with my family no matter what! 

We had a New Years Eve themed feast.

Martenellis Sparkling Cider for everyone! My Grandma let us use the fancy china and silver! So pretty.

I really love balloons.

We each made a New Years party hat.

My hat, I was very proud.

Everyone kept watching "Jaws" instead of sticking to the party agenda.   

Taylor cuttin a rug.

We wrote our troubles and worries from 2011 on pieces of paper, put them in balloons, and let them go at midnight.  It felt pretty good.

After Midnight we had dessert and CRASHED. We're all getting old.

Till Next Year..........

My traditional tree.

The White Tree.

 This year was honestly the best Christmas yet. I decided to go all out! I have to admit I'm STILL going through Christmas withdrawal. I love the safe toasty feeling Christmas gives me. Already can't wait till next year. Here are a few pictures of our love nest all decked our for Christmas and some pictures of our cozy Christmas morning.

Vintage Ornaments! I was obsessed !

Little cathedral...an Etsy find.

More vintage ornaments, all from Etsy.

From my daddy : ) 

Folks, meet the newest member of the Gordon Family.

Buckle Up Little Guy!

YUM! 5 Guys after the BYU Hockey game.

I've been wanting this little guy forever so today when my sister and I stopped in to Tai Pan I snatched him up!  

And his final spot. I think this was a match made in heaven!

A Teeny Teepee.

Ain't she a beaut??

I made Eponine a teeny teepee and she loves it! She loves it so much we had to keep her in our bedroom while we finished it up because she kept trying to get in it...no joke!!

We could probably be doing something better with our time.....

Who knew Jonny could sew.

Jonny and I worked hard all night on this little project for my cat Eponine. It's not finished just yet. Hopefully she'll make her debut tomorrow. 

My Little Street Urchin.

Aww gee mom!

Poor Eponine. When Cody comes back to our lil' love nest next week she's not going to be an only child anymore. I'm working on a treat that will make her feel special. On a different note my new years resolution is to blog more. We'll see. I like readin em a whole lot more than writin em. It is fun to go back and read them but at the same time I get so sick of myself! I need something else to blog about....like a baby!
