Holiday Photo blogging

I am so overwhelmed with all the work we are doing on this old house (rotted wood joist repair, stucco removal and repair, various collapsed ceilings, leaking roof, a river running through the basement, etc etc) so Im going to update you with pictures instead. Everyone likes pictures more than reading anyway, right? Right.

Filoli Xmas fundraiser
Xmas Fundraiser at Filoli in Woodside. This overexposed photo is pretty much the reason I asked "Santa" for a speedlight for my camera for Xmas.

They BOTH love Santa!
Santa's Fangirls

Gingerbread Girl

(Can't blame my lack of speedlight for the bad photo, this was via iPhone)

Evie & her Snowperson

Sledding!
Just barely enough snow in our yard to sled up at the mountains

Our tree in the mountains
Doggies weren't so into the snow, as you can see.
Martha Stewart came out with this "Woodland Holiday" line of decorations which was all Bavarian kitsch. I was totally ALL over it. And now it's all over our tree.

Scored some new/old antique furnitre for the house, which was looking pretty barren
After we got back from Yosemite, we scored some new/old antique furniture for the house, which was looking pretty barren.

The chairs coodrinate with the sofa pretty well
The new stuff kinda coordinates with the sofa...

This is my favorite piece of furniture ever.
This is my favorite piece of furniture ever. Its Victorian and I placed a Ouija board under the glass. I have had it since after college.

The new furniture purchases were necessary to cheer me up after finding a huge hole in the ceiling where the wood rotted underneath.
