Christmas 2008 (Iowa)

Here are some lovely Christmas themed pictures... just because!

A close up of some of my favorite ornaments, the mirrored one is from my childhood!


The ornament wreath I made with Chelsea and Lindsay over Thanksgiving.

Oreo Balls! Chelsea was my inspiration!

The Christmas Cookies I made for my staff!

Last but certainly not least, a bad picture of my Christmas Tree!
More pictures from home coming soonish.
Winston and I head home tomorrow, say a little prayer for good weather!
Merry Christmas!

Goin' Home!

I am so excited to go home! Winston is too! There is only one problem, the temperature! Although Winston's Vet says that he can travel in temperatures as low as 10 degrees, the airline believes other wise. So keep your fingers crossed and say your prayers that it will be 20 degrees or above (in Des Moines and Portland) on the 17th and the 30th.

I would now like to dedicate this song to home, because there really is no place like it.

Oh, there’s no place like
home for the holidays,
‘Cause no matter how far away you roam
When you pine for the sunshine
Of a friendly face
For the holidays, you can’t beat
Home, sweet home

I met a man who lives in Tennessee
And he was headin’ for Pennsylvania
And some home made pumpkin pie
From Pennsylvania folks a travelin’ down
To Dixie’s sunny shore
From Atlantic to Pacific, gee
The traffic is terrific

Oh there's no place like home
For the holidays, ‘cause no matter
How far away you roam
If you want
To be happy in a million ways
For the holidays, you can’t beat
Home, sweet home

Happy Holidays and Lots of Love,
Sara and Winston

OMG!

Winston and I spent Thanksgiving with Scott, Chelsea, and Bailey. It was a great weekend and break from my real life. Chelsea took this picture, it is the BEST picture EVER! I need to frame this! I love my WINNIE!


Best picture EVER!

Christmas Wish List!

Here is the list!


Mama needs a new pair of shoes! My current tennis shoes are almost worn through to the bottom!


To keep my hot drinks nice and toasty!


I am tired of ironing on the floor over a towel.


A new leash for the baby!


I prefer the older movies.

I of course would like some socks, and jeans as well. Just some ideas for the family, but my #1 Christmas wish is to bring Winston home with me for my vacation!
