New Years Eve/Day

I'm skipping my birthday post on purpose....we will circle back around to that momentous occasion shortly. For New Years Eve, we had a great time! David played in Huntsville and we ended up staying the night over there. We were joined by some of our awesome friends and danced the night away. So much fun!!!




Then on New Years Day, we zipped to church and then over to the boat harbor for the annual Polar Bear Jump. I think I have mentioned it before, but David is doing a fabulous coffee table book for the Decatur Morgan County Chamber of Commerce. He's been documenting all the wonderful events that happen in our area as well as just some awesome photographs of things we have here. Being Mr. Photographer of the Year though, we couldn't take a photo from the shore for this event....no, no my friend. We have to get a dry suit, and get in the water. This day could also be called the day I almost lost my husband....Trying to swim in that suit plus hold a camera up in the air, focused and shooting fabulous pictures=very difficult. So needless to say, David earned his badge of honor that day, getting in freezing water, all in the name of a steller photo!!






The aftermath....

Christmas Morning

Have I told you how much junk we accumulate on Christmas. I say "junk" with the best of intentions. Its all really great stuff, but we don't need another material thing. It always bothers me when people ask me, "What do you want for Christmas", and I can't come up with a thing. With that being said, we started off Christmas morning with the gift exchange between the hubs and myself. Santa also brought Wilson some treats as he had been a very good pup this year. On a side note, if Santa had to sit up at night with Wilson during a thunderstorm, he might leave switches and ashes in his stocking...I digress. On to the presents...











I saw this stuff called "Monkey's Butt" at Duluth Trading Company where I had bought some other gifts for David....I needed $10.00 more for free shipping, so I bought a little Monkey Butt...


And just what every runner needs.....


Wilson jumped for joy at the sight of his stocking....


And licked his lips at the contents...


Then we headed over to Vick's for Christmas with the fam....














Another fabulous Christmas in the books! Great time with family and friends!
