Welcome to the very last T stands for Tuesday of 2015.
We had a lovely Christmas with family. We had my mom over for a big meal at noon. Then I started cooking again for brunch the next day. Getting everything prepped so I’d have an easy morning. We played a board game then watched Home Alone. By that time, I was so exhausted that I told everyone that they had to go to bed otherwise Santa was skipping our house. ;)
Christmas morning brunch with Mr. G’s side of the family was great…all the hard work the previous day payed off.
I have to show you the gift Mini-me put together for her brother…
She bought him a gift card but wanted a clever way to give it. She used a photo from Pinterest as inspiration. She thought a Mountain Dew reindeer was needed as well.
So darn cute. There is a kit-kat bar under the gift card. Good thing Santa put new toothbrushes in their stockings!!
Big J bought his sister this cute mug and a Minnesota Vikings T shirt. Skol Vikings!
I did make one additional Christmas card this past week.
I tried out my new water color brush marker to give some dimension.
Today we’ll be shoveling snow and baking a cake for Mini-me’s birthday tomorrow. 13…I can hardly believe it! Now I’ll have two teenagers in the house.
I am also giving some thought to my 2016 word of the year as well as reflecting on 2015.
What are you doing today?
Glad your Christmas was good, and that you were able to spend time with the family. Happy New Year 2016 and happy T Day, hugs, Valerie
Gotta love what Mini-me did for Big J. That’s SO clever, and a great T entry, too!
I wish I had room like that for a tree. Yours was AWESOME. Looks like there were lots of gifts under the tree, too.
I’m hosting T, putting away my Christmas trees and gifts, and deciding on my Word for 2016. I think I’ve finally decided.
Happy New Year, dear friend. I hope your holiday is peaceful, safe, and storm free.
GOLLY, forgot to say thanks for sharing your lovely tree and Little J’s gift for T this Tuesday. I need coffee, I guess.
Looks like you had a wonderful holiday. That sled is soooo cute! Thanks for stopping by my blog for a visit, and I hope you do something fun with no snow in the forecast! (Maybe?)
Happy you had a great Christmas with your family.
The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree of creativity at your house :-)
Happy T Day
