The Osborne Family Spectacle of Dancing Lights 2010

.


On January 3rd (the very last night of the event), Bill and I went to Disney World Hollywood Studios so we could see The Osborne Family Spectacle of Dancing Lights.  It is the most amazing display of Christmas lights EVER, along with Christmas music AND on some night there is even a "snow" fall.  It is such a magical experience that you cannot help but smile throughout the whole display.

I wonder how long you have to wait before you can start using the Easter Bunny????

With all the baking I did this past week - seven different kinds of cookies plus dark chocolate fudge - this cartoon really made me laugh when I saw it.....



I have also discovered that my doggies REALLY like cookies, especially Maila, she is a total cookie monster. She sits on the back of the chair and watches everything I do in the kitchen. Then when I walk by with the pan and the spatula

Christmas Funny of the Day..... December 11th

A friend of mine sent me this ad and I thought it was just the funniest thing ever, so I had to share it with all of you. I'm pretty sure most of us ladies have received one of "those" gifts from a significant other at one time or another, that just leaves you with the feeling of, "WHAT???"   Enjoy.....





So, show this to the man in your life and help keep him "out of the doghouse!"
