I mean… who doesn’t enjoy a few lazy days after the “hectic-ness” Christmas?!
Relaxing, watching TV, playing with friends and enjoying a few yummy snacks
along the way!!!

And there we have it…
my chocolate raspberry carrot cake to share with my family for Christmas Day.
A little “explosive” drama along the way… but I think it turned out okay.
Pretty, festive and VERY chocolatey!!!
Did I mention that I made a double-recipe of the frosting and used almost all of it???
Is there such a thing as too much frosting? I think not.

Early morning baking for today’s Christmas festivities!
Of course it’s gotta be chocolate, right?!
Yes, with a dash of shredded carrots just to make it “healthy’!!!

What a wonderful way to kick-off Christmas Day with such an incredible present like this morning’s sunrise!!! I can’t remember the last time I had a chance to ride my bike early on Christmas morning… but so glad I could today. Mother Nature sure gave me a beautiful gift this morning!

I’ve been told I’m just like Buddy the Elf…
and I’m totally okay with that. I think we follow the same four basic food groups
& over-the-top enthusiasm for Christmas!
So what’s your favorite Christmas Holiday movie?
12.24.2019
‘Twas the night before Christmas…
and all through the house, not a creature was stirring…
except this “yahoo” who is still frantically wrapping presents!
Like this mug duo with a hint of a “chocolate mint” theme!
Guess this is what happens when “someone” plays a bit too much leading up to Christmas?!

Roller coasters, yummy s’mores, festive lights & so much more! Another great night playing in the park with my sister Jen, niece Taylor and cousin Kim. Holiday fun for everyone last night at Six Flags Great America!
Of course we had to stop off to toast some marshmallows and make s’mores…
who doesn’t like ooey, gooey, yummy toasted marshmallows on a chilly winter night?!
Huge displays of LED covered walls showing festive images with holiday music!
Holiday lights everywhere you look!
And Ugly Christmas Sweaters for everyone!!!
My niece Taylor & sister Jen waiting for the X-FLIGHT roller coaster…
and yes, we went on it THREE times!!!
And who doesn’t love spinning in tight circles while revolving in bigger circles?!
The joy & hilarity of the Spinning Teacups!!!
Kim loved it…
Taylor loved it…
My sister Jen… not so much.
Amused, but just trying to keep her stomach down.
Kim playing in a dramatic gobo light pattern.
More LED displays with images & songs moving & playing all around the building.
Had to laugh at this display of “pharmacy” health-aides… just in case.
None for me thanks… but my sister “may have” had a bit of the Dramamine!!!
And my favorite…
Nothing says Christmas like a DANGER sign all lit up with festive lights!!!
