Christmas

It was a wonderful Christmas filled with family and friends, hope you all had a great holiday!

I promised to post the drawing of my niece...

I feel like this picture captures how fun and cute she is!

I left it more airy and light, I like how it turned out.

Love her.

A quiet afternoon.

The stockings are hung...

the gifts are wrapped...

we plan to do this tonight.

I love the calm and quiet that comes with Christmas.

Merry Christmas to all!

Anniversary

Ryan and I were able to go to The Roof for our fourth anniversary!

It was fun to get dressed up and be with my best friend.
Thanks for four wonderful years Ryan!

I have a piece of art to post, but I have to wait until after Christmas, should be up on Monday.

I'm dreaming of...

Some of my own...

One of my own...

A white Christmas!

The Adventures of Ryan and Tammy

Ryan took the day off for our anniversary.

We went to the Museum of Natural History.

We had a great time!

Hard to believe it's been four years!

3rd Annual Gingerbread House Making Contest

After two years of getting second place...

We got second place.

We tried a modern house.

Thanks everyone for a great night!

I'm off work for a month so I'll be painting, painting, painting.

I'll post as I finish them!

Oh Martha, Oh Christmas!

We picked out our tree with Ry's brother and his family.

Our niece was enthralled by the reindeer.

Reindeer.

At the tree lot.

It's the most wonderful time of the year!

Thanksgiving

Sorry this is a little belated. Our Thanksgiving was a beautiful day filled with family and friends.

The table set by my sis Anna.

Everyone left a note of gratitude as they arrived.

Tradition. We went to Denny's on Thanksgiving night for cheese fries and hot chocolate.

Recently, I joined Pinterest, how addicting!

Fun ideas though.
