A good time was had by all - Tim got lots of Legos, Rachel got her papasan chair and a kindle, and Betsy got *lots* of Hello Kitty.

Around the House

The old living room can be seen in my September 27 post - here is the brand new pretty one! I especially love the purple chair in the lower left corner.



My mantel looks different every Christmas - this is my favorite, so far.



These angels came out of my grandparents house - my mother bought them when we lived in Germany.



This year's tree.



Another prize from Germany. I got this tiny painted pewter angel the Christmas I was 8. I have kept up with it for 32 years - it is even on the same piece of thread.

It's working so far

Thanks to Groupon, Rachel had a Brazilian Blowout keratin treatment today. It is supposed to keep her hair straight and manageable for the next 3-4 months. It looks gorgeous, so I hope so!

Well, We Didn't Have One of These, Either

Now, I have two!



And, at 42 inches, they are notably taller than Miss Betsy.
