I can't believe another year is over! I hope that everyone enjoyed the holidays. Even with all the chaos they bring, I wouldn't trade them for anything! Now, you know the drill, go pee, get a cup of coffee, feed the dog, anything pending cause it's gonna be a long one!
First, guess what I got for Christmas?!
Boy, you would of thought that atleast I could of done something better with my hair. Maybe color those roots atleast..... Yes bloggy buddies, Mama got a new camera! A Canon EOS Rebel t2i and.... a zoom lens too! I'm still playing with it. I'll get better though.... promise! As for Christmas.... it came....
.... made a complete.....
....mess and left too quickly. It's amazing that everything was cleaned up for dinner and family coming over later!
We got tickets to the Trans-Siberian Orchestra for the 30th for a gift.
They were so nice....
....to allow the crazy lady....
....with the new camera....
....onstage to take pics.
Okay.... so they didn't really. We were in the 6th row and I used my zoom lens. I took tons of pics though and won't bore you with all 1623 of them!
Then was New Years Eve.... and....
....can you believe the bitty one is 4 now?! Yup! 4! I can't believe where the time has gone. One minute we were bringing her home from the hospital and the next she is turning 4. Yeesh!
My husband brought home his newest mount. Our great guard dog is scared silly of it though.
She's so crazy! Who would be afraid of this?
Oh! Remember the Fantabulous Basement Challenge?! I haven't given up on it.
The floor is visible.
You can see my partner in crime. Now, I have more stuff to go through and sort out. It did make Christmas easier. I didn't have to buy paper, bows or ribbon this year. After I found all that I had squirreled away, I had more than enough for this year. It's so nice having it all in one place!
It does seem that I can't get all the junk out of here as fast as I have been sorting it out. You won't believe what we have in store for here. I am so excited about it. For right now though, it is a secret!
Actually we have quite a few BIG changes planned for the White Farmhouse.
As for now....
....it isn't time for a nap. Time to get back to work!

Your camera takes great pics! I'm so jealous . . . I'm in desperate need of a camera to take my blog to the next level! Happy New Year. Can't wait to see what you'll do with the basement -- we have a similar basement on our hands!

Well now, have an absolute blast with that fantabulous camera...wow. And the concert, you go nuts with that zoom lens. Your baby is 4, another milestone, and look at those sleepy eyes in your last pic. I love it.
Have fun with that basement, it's such a chore doing any kind of major cleaning and rearranging.

Yahoo you got a new camera, finally now we expect great things from you. You are going to love it...my daughter got one of those for Christmas and she loves it... I got her old one, the step down and I am thrilled.
I can't believe your little one is 4 already... oh how quickly they grow up. She is such a little doll.

Thanks for stopping by, Maggie. Your stuffed shell recipe sounds delicious too. I'll definitely have to give it a try. You captured some great photos with your new camera! Curious about the zebra - did your hubby go on a safari? Amazing!
blessings, Beth
Love TSO - I listened to one of their Christmas CDs constantly throughout December!
Thanks for your funny comment this morning - no crystal muffin liners here, but what a great idea ;). The stand I photographed my muffin on is actually the foot of an upside down goblet.
Take care,
ButterYum
Happy Birthday to your bitty one! Ours will be 5 in the spring, can't believe that!
So jealous of your new camera! Your pictures turned out awesome at the concert! I'm hoping to get a big girl camera for my b-day. how do you like it?
