Snow falls on hot tub, hot tub cover isn’t the best, heat escapes, snow melts, temperatures are low enough to never let the dripping snow hit the ground, errant photographer takes photo.
Winter White, originally uploaded by Tokenhippygirl.
We’re basically snowed in. Somewhere in the neighborhood of 4-6 inches. Who can tell for sure. Either way, it’s also cold. Really cold. For us anyway. It’s 22 out here. Brrrrrrr. But, it’s beautiful. Really beautiful. I went out and took a few shots today when the small amount of winter sun we get here was hitting the trees behind the house.
Herbed Roast, originally uploaded by Tokenhippygirl.
Mom and Don made a very darn tasty roast themselves. So good. I took another picture of the plate after all but one piece was gone, but didn’t want to make all you non meat eaters out there hurl after seeing it. Us meat eaters, no problem. Yum.
White Elephant Gifts, originally uploaded by Tokenhippygirl.
The famous, to us anyway, white elephant gifts. Stan always says… take what you get with you and there’s a reason for it. Some of the white elephants this year… whew… pretty hilarious. The most hilarious moment of the night… Karen was handed a bunch of vanilla scented shelf liner and some, forgive me, butt ugly candles, and said as the person who traded her laughed and hauled away the perfectly good game of brainiac cranium, “we don’t even line our shelves”. bah ha ha ha!! It was very funny.
Dinner, originally uploaded by Tokenhippygirl.
Stan, my friend, who also happens to be my boss, makes a mean prime rib. This thing was good. It was so good we both ate some even though we’d already had dinner at Mom and Don’s. Damn…. that’s good.
Refreshment, originally uploaded by Tokenhippygirl.
A nice glass of red at Mom and Don’s. It was so good to see some of my brother’s and sister’s I hadn’t seen for awhile. I miss them.
Jello Shot Christmas Tree, originally uploaded by Tokenhippygirl.
Thought I’d post a few shots from the Christmas/Holiday dinners we attended on Saturday. We first went to Mom and Don’s for a really nice holiday dinner with family. We left there, sooner than we normally would have, to get to my work Christmas dinner. This shot was taken not at the first dinner, but the second. The jello shooters arranged in a nice Christmas tree pattern. Very festive. Plus, they were very tasty. Kudos to Liz. You’ve taken up the shooter mantle since Ted’s departure and have carried it forward with skill and verve. He’d be proud.
