Lately (in Instagram)


Happy New Year!!!!

Three weeks of blog neglect!  EEEKKK!  Time to catch up.

2013 ended with:

~A super cold football game up in Kansas City.........



~The yearly visit to Silver Dollar City to see the Christmas lights.....



~Nancy's first cave experience.......



~The viewing of a "classic" for the first time at the prompting of quite a few friends.......



~And a super fun mug exchange with my favorite girls.........


Instead of buying Christmas gifts for each other, we started having exchange parties. 

We each brought a wrapped mug.....and then drew numbers to see who got to choose first.  Stealing was encouraged.

We've also had a scarf exchange!  Next up, we're exchanging doormats!

Those will be challenging to wrap!

    The exchange party sounds like fun and from the way it looks; everyone had a good time.

  6. Fun exchange ideas! I'm trying to plan a book exchange for sometime this winter - but mugs might have been easier. :)

  8. I love the idea of a mug of scarf exchange! That way everyone gets something similar, you probably spent about the same, and hopefully everyone is happy!

  10. What cave is that? And I love the idea of a doormat exchange! You could do so many fun things with gift exchanges. Ugly lamp exchange, silly craft exchange, bad gift re-gift exchange....
