My Post Holiday Depression is passing & I am getting more & more excited about the future. What always does the trick for me is planning my next big thing which will come in the form of a Valentine's Brunch in February. I'm already scheming!!!
The other trick is just getting it all out & moving on. So I share with you now my last bits of Christmas & the things I really enjoyed, big & small. My biggest photo regret is not getting a picture taken of the table for 11 I set up on my lanai for Christmas dinner. It was quite nice with a white linen tablecloth, beautiful place mats & matching napkins & glasses. It was dark by dinner time so we lit the Christmas candles & ate our hearts out in the 75 degree weather.
A few of my favorite touches this holiday:
These mats above went perfectly with the few pieces I had picked out below.
I had my eye on & finally bought these cute little stacked dishes. I highly recommend them for any entertainer as they come in handy for appetizers as well as dessert!
A few of Tristan's favorite gifts:
D-Rex: a robot dino that burps, toot toots & purrs when you pet him.
A batman get-up from Grandma & Grandpa P (at their house).
And a Nintendo DS he has been eyeing since his cousins were in town.
Goodbye Christmas. I am ready to move on.
Happy New Year to you & yours!!!!!

Glad you are feeling better! Does the remote grill themometer really work? I'd love something to tell me when the steaks are done cuz I always get them too done or not done enough.
Do you have a Tommy B in town? I just went to one when I was visiting my mom in Hawaii. It was DELICIOUS!
Happy New Year!
What?!??! A grill light? Am I correct in thinking that this is a light that grills food?
I also am interested in the remote grill thermometer. Do they make a remote steamed vegetable remote thermometer??
Have a Happy New Year Girl!
All the photos are so super. I especially love the batman ensemble...priceless.
HAPPY NEW YEAR TO YOU....my Wordful is posted, and I'm dreaming of flying high into the sky today. Hope you can come join me!

I love those stackable dishes and the chocolate fountain is cool. Tristan looks so cute and from the looks of it he loves his gifts. dont feel bad about being a stranger its the same for me as well. I guess its just the holidays keeping us busy.
Happy New Year! I got kitchen hints as well - 2 new crock pots and a wonderful knife set!
Love your pics -
I'm so jealous that you have a chocolate fountain lol.. Those are so cool!!! My hubs knows I love penguins so I got a lot of penguin stuff (YAY!)!!

I can't wait to see what wonderful recipes you have to share with us in the New Year.

Your Christmas table must have looks amazing.
It looks like you all had a merry Christmas filled with lots of fun presents.
Happy new Year!
ugh, I need to start taking down decorations this weekend. It's just not as fun as putting things out, now is it!? :(
Happy New Year to you too! Looks like you had a lovely holiday.
I will happily ship Bram to you. He would LOVE playing with Tristan! Haha!!
Unfortunately, he learns all his little sayings from me. Sad but true.
Great Pics ! Your little and big guys are soo cute !
Sooo....I was looking for an easy but elegant recipe for entertaining friends on Friday ...so I wandered over to my favourite cookbook - LIVE. LOVE. EAT. She's an awesome blogger,friend, cook and always has something yummy!
Lo and behold she did - Chicken stuffed with Asiago and lemon sage sauce sounds excellent .....but could you do me one its, bitsy favour - I followed the link but couldn't quite find it in the pupkin blog ;) Could you give me a hint where to find it ?
....and no worries if you cant quite get to it today cause it's New Year's Eve and all- just if you get a chance.
Have an awsome New Year's Eve !

Happy NEw Year!
I'm sorry you were bummed out before. All better now? Right?
Those were some great gifts you got there! I love kitchen gadgets.
(I thought it was cute how you said lanai too. You and my mom are the only people I know who say that. Not that you're like my mom or anything. I'm prob older than you anyway.It sounded bad but I meant it as a compliment. I'll shut up now.)
Looks and sounds like Santa was good to everyone!
Best wishes for a wonderful 2009! : )
I LOVE those table mats! Have a wonderful New Year and a lucky and prosperous 2009!
Happy New Years! You look so pretty and happy! Your family is adorable! I love your new presents!
I bet Santa really appreciates that Diet Coke! Helps keep him awake, right?
Happy New year!
Looks like you are Blessed!!!
