I'm Proud to Call Her Mine

My daughter's birthday was yesterday. Unfortunately, yesterday was also the first day of semester exams for her. She is a freshman in high school and so this is all new to her. She had three exams on her birthday and then had to study for four exams for today. Needless to say, it will be a birthday she will always remember. We did get in the "Happy Birthday" song along with presents, a special dinner on the "You Are Special" plate and a few "when you were born..." stories but then she had to hit the books again. I stayed up with her until 1am to offer any support if she needed me. I look at her with a big smile and see a wonderful young lady that I am proud to call my daughter.

BRRRR

The weather has been so cold that they've cancelled school the past two days. With the wind chill, the temperature outside gets to 45 below! Had a little time to catch up on some pieces that I'll add to my etsy. Starting to think spring even though the snowbanks are as high as the mailboxes and hoping the weather gives us a break soon so I can get the Christmas lights out of the trees.

Christmas at my Home

My cat Sophie-"Not a creature was stirring..."
"Walking in a winter wonderland..." "A Strike!!"
"I sure do love those Christmas cookies, Sugar..."
"O Tannenbaum..."
