My Christmas list:

What's on your list??

Everyone loves a parade!!!

Especially at Christmas time! This is the City of Richardson annual Christmas parade where every group, yes, EVERY group in Richardson is represented. Every Boy Scout, Girl Scout, Adventure Guide, Band, Gymnastic team, dog, pony, old car club, new car club.... Get where I'm going?? This wonderful event takes hours and hours and hours to make its way through town. What you can't tell by the photos is the temperature, a big ole 30 degrees. Oh so cold. Luckily Mr. Race's band was in the "first wave" and we were in the car by 10:00 after getting there at 7:00 for the staging. Whew, what a day!
Race is the kiddo in the middle. The one in a hoody only. I have no idea where his coat was.

I love chocolate and peppermint!! My favorite treat is a Hot Fudge Sundae made with peppermint ice cream and hot fudge. YUUUMMMMMM!!!

These little bitties did not disappoint!

Good luck finding them. I've only seen them at JoAnne's fabrics.

My yearly dilemma....

White lights?
Colored lights? I always go with the color. It is just my more layed back, playful style. Oh how I wish I could be the elegant sophisticated "Snow Queen" of the white tree, but alas I am meant to remain the ever crazy "Queen of Hearts".

It is good to be back with you. I've started my new job. It feels like I've started a new life, but I think I am back in my bloggy groove. Thank you all for your loving comments. It is great to be missed.
