Day 340: December 5, 2011

Today I'm thankful for board games.

Tonight The Hubs and I dimmed the lights, lit the Christmas Tree, and played Mexican Train Dominoes.
I have always loved, loved, loved board games and Mexican Train is one of my faves. I suppose it's not technically a board game because there's no board involved, but I think it still qualifies. I'm also quite fond of Yahtzee and Backgammon. And Cranium. And Guestures, and Taboo, and Clue, and Scrabble, and Monopoly, and...
Game night, anyone? I'm always ready!

Day 339: December 4, 2011

Today I'm thankful for my NAP socks.

They are not cute.
I do not usually wear them out of the house (alright, sometimes under my rain boots).
But man, oh man, these socks save my freezing feet in the winter.
I have always hated wearing socks to bed, but this year I must be extra cold because I am wearing them almost all time! Love them.

Day 338: December 3, 2011

The weekend was spent with great friends. What could be better? 

Well, one of the said friends is also a Bride-To-Be (See the shirt), and this trip happened to include some shopping for her White Dress! It was very "Say Yes to the Dress". 

Today I am thankful to be a Bridesmaid. 

I have heard that some people dislike being a Bridesmaid...what?!?!

I love every little thing about the process and am thankful to be included in the wedding of the year!

Day 337: December 2, 2011

Today I am thankful for SFO's Holiday Decorations.

As I drove up to departures, it made me say "WOW!"
The trees are perfectly strung with white lights and there is a huge, lit Golden Gate Bridge.
Even the terminal is decked out in holiday cheer with living wreaths (pretty cool looking) and Christmas trees.
The piped in Christmas tunes solidified the wintry wonderland...in the airport.

Day 336: December 1, 2011

Nothing says "welcome Christmas" like a decorated tree. 

The Hubby and I decorated ours tonight! My favorite part of decorating the tree is unwrapping each ornament and reminiscing about where we got it. Almost every ornament has a story.

Our little family has a yearly tradition of finding one ornament each year to add to our collection. We casually look all year for the perfect ornament, something that sums up the year for us. Sometimes we pick it up on our travels and sometimes it's from one of my favorite local shops, Wishbone or Egg (they both have the best selection of fun ornaments), but we always write the date on the bottom.

Today I'm thankful for Christmas Ornaments.

They're more than just decorative baubles for the tree, they're memories!

Day 335: November 30, 2011

Today I'm thankful for blogs.

I sat down for my daily read this evening only to find that something was awry. Blogger had swallowed my blog roll and I had a sinking fear that it might be for good. I then realized how thankful I am for my favorites. Such good reads.
They have reappeared, so all is well in the blogging world. 

Day 334: November 29, 2011

Today I'm thankful for puppy lashes and Grinch feet, darkly lined eyes and whiskers.
