thanks everyone for all the wonderful birthday wishes this week!!  i’m still smiling!  (don’t you wish you could have a “birthday” day every week – especially the eating cake part – mmm)

i hope all your stockings are hung, trees trimmed & halls decked so you can relax & enjoy all the festivities!  i’m off to bake cookies today with my mother-in-law (family receipe for kolachkes…yum, yum!!)

here’s wishing you & yours a wonderful holiday filled with laughter, cheers & treats!!

and here’s something to make you chuckle…

it literally took over 100 photos to get 1 good shot of our dogs for this photo!  we kept throwing stockings, a santa hat, a santa toy to burnsey to just get him to catch it and have it in his mouth (mind you, every day he does this just for fun!!)  well, apparently when you put a camera in the mix, he clams up…so this is what kept happening…they’re lucky they’re so darn cute!!

p.s. i shared some simple & easy holiday decorating ideas over at sandy ala mode if you need some last minute sprucing up!!
