December Photo-A-Day Challenge! #4

Dec 22:  Tradition - Every year I melt Hershey Kisses and Hugs onto pretzels... then squish a green or red M&M onto it!  So cute!

Dec 23: Scarf - I immediately thought of this picture of me and my friend Jayme from 2007.  She made me a purple & black scarf so we would match at the Ravens/Steelers game!  Santa hat and scarf - we looked so cute! haha!  I love(d) it! :)

Dec 24: Favorite Part of Christmas Eve - ¡¡Feliz Navidad!!

Dec 25: Morning - Merry Christmas!!

Dec 26: Grateful - As I was finishing this up I realized I never took a 'grateful' picture on the 26th :(  So I took one today of grateful... I am grateful for making through another year, grateful for a new chance in 2013 and grateful for my Shelby :)

Dec 27: Night Time - The best part of night time at Christmas!

Dec 28: Words - Every year around Christmas, my parent's neighbors all get together to play pool to win a painting of "Rose."  Whoever wins, keeps Rose for the year.  There is a great story behind this painting... but to keep it short, here is the back of the painting... :)

Dec 29: Sky View - It snowed today!!!

Dec 30: Your Winter Wonderland - We went to see the Sweet Lights at Hershey tonight!  It was so pretty with the snow.  We had a great time! :)

Dec 31: Fun - I made pudding shots for the New Year's Eve party... vanilla with Rum Chata and chocolate with Bailey's.... yum!!  FUN! :)

HAPPY 2013!!

December 9: Something Your Reading - I haven't actually read this yet... but Beautiful Disaster has been sitting on my bed stand for awhile (it's a busy time of year!)... which means I might need to skip it and move to She's Come Undone, our January book club book.
