I've been SICK the whole month of December.....
;-(
and I'm sad about it.
I had the worst cold of my life for the first 2 weeks of December.
Then......I got the meanest most horrible virus EVER!! The effects from it stayed with me a good 2 weeks!
I still don't feel right!
It took everything I had to decorate the house between the sniffles and throwing up.....
I didn't decorate much, so....I don't have much to share.
all I wanted to do was sleep on my sofa.
...it was just so weird.
I do want to share with you Marlee Pearl's first photo with Santa....
SHE LIKED HIM ...
only after he gave her that candy cane in her hand.
;- )
Milton and Tina~











Tina, have a wonderful Christmas and I hope you are really on the mend! Love that photo or Marlee Pear and you and Milton!!
Merry Christmas@@

It has been a rough year. Happy to see it good. Merry Christmas to you and your wonderful honey, and extended beautiful family. My little girl is 5 and still won't sit in Santa's lap. Miss Marlee Pearl you are my hero...sitting there in Santa's lap.

Tina, its so good to see you post. I am so sorry you and Milt have been so sick. I sure hope both of you get better soon. You and Monica gonna be our neighbor for a fun weekend in Canton. Love your camper and I can't wait to see the inside since you had the makeover.
I have a picture of my daughter and "me" sitting on Santa's lap. Yup, all she would do is scream. You guess it one of the twins was exactly like her mom, she screamed every time. Love that picture of Marlee, she had him wrapped, thus the candy. Guess I should have sent a candy cane in my package. LOL.
Love your pic, was that the Christmas card I didn't get this year? hmm!
