Mindless Monday

Good Monday morning!

It's Mindless Monday. All of the pictures in the Gallery tell the story of the past weekend... like a child's picture book. Unfortunately, this picture book tells the story BACKWARDS! I messed up a little bit. Forgive me. Christmas Eve pictures are toward the bottom, and they should be at the top. Christmas Day is in the middle... where it belongs. But the Day After Christmas Movie should be at the bottom.

I have totally made Mindless Monday complicated... and it is supposed to be the total opposite of complicated. It is supposed to be SIMPLE!

I would fix it, but I have to run. I have to put some major concealer on this face before I see my friends for brunch. Lots and lots of major concealer.

THE NOT-SO-FINAL COUNT! THE NOT-SO-FINAL COUNT! THE NOT-SO-FINAL COUNT! The Christmas card count stands at 70. However, that number means nothing. I'll give you another FINAL COUNT this coming Friday. I always have a few stragglers... and that's fine with me. I like Christmas cards anytime!

It was a whirlwind Christmas weekend, but so many memories were made. Can you believe we had a white Christmas? Not just flurries, but snow on the ground all day long! So much fun.

Have a lovely Monday. Tomorrow I have a new soup recipe for you. I know everyone is a little tired of Christmas food, and this should hit the spot. I'll also start cramming New Year's Eve and New Year's Day ideas and traditions into just one week of posts. I hope you'll visit Tuesday!

Take care, and I'll talk to you tomorrow.

Sincerely,

The Enchanting Belinda

Friday...

Friday...
Finally, some new basketball action shots.

The JV team had two 40-minute games Friday, so I thought I would just go ahead and start filming now!

And here's the obligatory Bryant Tuggle pic. He's a HUGE supporter of our baskeball team. Always has been... always will be. Well, until he gets his own driver's license!

Saturday...

Saturday...
We spent the day with the cousins Saturday. Monica, Amy, Roxie and I shopped at Brookwood, ate at Yolo's and went to the movies (Pirates 4). It was a great day, but the best part was our celebrity sighting...

That's right! Will Ferrell! (Please feel free to use your imagination. I know we did!)

Sunday...

Sunday...
Mikie's 50th Family Birthday Celebration! Everyone knows 50 year-old men LOVE the Green Lantern...and their wives really like Ryan Reynolds! (How cool would it be to have your picture on a birthday party plate package? Another goal, perhaps?)

What do you give a 50 year-old guys for his birthday? Cards... filled with money, Ricky Skaggs' concert tickets, a True Grit DVD and a Red Devil's Food Cake with Divinity Icing (from his Mom). It was a very good day!

Lovely Melia gave him the True Grit DVD. (I LOVE that movie!)

And it wouldn't be a birthday without a hug from Roxie!
