Awww! How sweet! Congratulations! My great nephew is 4 weeks today, so I am still very much in the  [smiley=smitten.gif] [smiley=smitten.gif] [smiley=smitten.gif] [smiley=smitten.gif] mode myself.  ;D His hair stands straight up, just like his mommy's did. I tease her about him being Billy Idol's kid. She had to Google him... man that made me feel old.  ::)

Mine: Hubby and I are celebrating nine years today.  :)

all the Christmas cards from friends and relations near and far -- including the ones from our MP, our dental insurance plan, the folks who installed our carpet and bathroom flooring last summer and the Artisan Baker!!   ;D

Being brilliantly thrifty.

After seeing the $14.98 pumpkin cheesecake at the shop, I bought a $1.68 box mix, and added 3/4 cup 'fresh' pumpkin puree I'd made and put in the freezer. I slow cooked in some pumpkin pie spices, then let it cool. I used it as part of the 1.5 cups of milk it called for. A taste test told me it not only worked, but tastes amazing for barely any cost at all, compared to the pre-made one.

Listening to Joey sing. He doesn't talk yet, but he is only two months old, so he will get there. It is also funny listening to him do his puppy yelp. I am sure he will stop that after a while, because we don't have a puppy and he learned it at the pet store.

...watching the Colts come from 28 points behind to go on and win the game in the final minutes. What an amazing rush!

Being snug and warm indoors, wearing fuzzy socks. We had a high of -5 today with a windchill of -37. Also happy I wasn't in colder areas of the country.

Going to the Mast Brothers factory today to pick up chocolate for my shop and getting the grand tour plus free samples. Also got to taste some chocolate that was in the process of getting made and was all melty and delicious. Heaven!

Going to Big Lots unchaperoned. Hubby knows my love of a good bargain, and fears for the safety of the bank account when I go, even with him along. Now, if I could just get to Bed, Bath and Beyond for a solo mission... Of course, the closest one is 50 miles away. :(
