love it. I may just need to download all of these for some Christmas spirit in this hotel room in vancouver. cheers to you!!!
Amy - How are you feeling??
about 90% -- weather here sucks so that isn't helping.. just a nagging cough/tickle in my throat... can't wait to be home for the holidays for sure! :)
I don't cook all that much, but this is a recipe I can handle! Add to it Chris Botti's trumpet solo version of "Hallelujah" and good ol' Nat King Cole, and you have a perfect itunes holiday playlist!
How could I forget Nat King Cole?!
You forgot to add 1 adorable Kostyn Christmas card hung on the fridge with care.
We got Nicky's today! Talk about adorable... (even the bit about the Cowboys going to the Super Bowl couldn't detract)
Hey, at least I got Penn State in there too!
