SPF two days early and a fond farewell

I am doing my SPF early because in a few short hours I will be on a plane bound for Phoenix to spend Christmas with my Dad and his side of the family. I am looking forward to it. I shall have lots of obnoxious pictures to share upon my return.

Anyway, on to business. Kristine designated this week's pictures to be:

Christmas cards
Our favorite wrapped present - I am modifying this to my fave present received thus far
A new edition to our Christmas decorations

Here are my cards. I love this little basket. I think I got some sort of hot chocolate deal in it but the basket was so cute I kept it.

This is the newest edition to my house. The husband surprised me last night with this. Isn't it great. I just love it. I am not a fan of dark wood (as y'all know if you have looked at ANY pictures of my home) so this is right up my alley.

However, this was originally (before the table gift last night) my favorite unwrapped present. It is a Steelers cookie jar. Nothing more needed to be said about that. :)

Newest edition to my holiday decor. See the beautiful silver candleabras behind my Mr. and Mrs. Claus teddy bears? Those belonged to the husband's mom. His sister found them a while back and gave them to him. They were tarnished and stained and an overall mess. He busted his ass to make them beautiful again. They will be on my holiday tables for years to come. I think they are wonderful.

Well, I am off to shower because we are out of here shortly. I hope y'all have a wonderful holiday season. I doubt I will post while on vacation so until the New Year, it's sayonara. Hasta la vista. Ta ta for now. And Danielle's favorite, later gator. :)

I also have to say that cookie jar, in addition to having NFL redeeming value, is also damn cute.
