I know it’s been almost a month since Christmas, but I wanted to share some of our fun stuff so….  better late than never, right?

First of all, Hombre and I had no idea that our one little obsession was so well known.

As you can see a number of our gifts shared a common theme.

My sister surprised us with a super-exciting gift.

I know it may not be very glamorous, but everytime we do anything outdoors, we’re always talking about how it would be so great to have one of these handy pop-up chairs to bring along.  My sister got us the double one with the little table in between.  Don’t we look hip????

Finally, if glamour is what you’re looking for,  my parents gave me this sweet necklace.

I’ve recently discovered, and love, Lisa Leonard’s jewelry designs.  But jewelry is just not something I EVER spend money on.  So this was a very exciting gift.

More catching up coming soon…..

I decided it was time for a new look around here.  Something less seasonal, and more just me…

There’s still a few things to be done, (when Hombre finds the time),  but aside from a few finishing touches, this is it.

Do you like it?????
