Your a mean one, Mr. Grinch

You know...there are some things that just happen that try to steal your Christmas Joy....

 After having the tree up and the house decorated for about a week....one day...we woke up to this...I know lights on a tree are minor, but, ooohhhh....

so, after fiddling with the light bulbs and seeing nothing happen I threw my hands in the air and said

@#$%^&*&^%$#

Enter the ever patient manly man husband of mine and within, oh, just a few seconds he says,

"Do you have one of these?"

 PRESTO!!!

The angels sang and Christmas joy was restored!!!

There is a ton to be said about patient, handy man husbands!!!

Here are a few of my favorite tree decorations...

On another note...

I made this recipe that Pinterest offered up and it was

WONDERFUL!!!

Lasagna Soup

You can find the recipe for it here.

That dollop on top is Ricotta and Parmesan mixed together, then sprinkled with some Mozzarella...it melts into the soup and makes it oh so creamy and deee-lish!!! Great for these cool nights we've been having in southeast Texas!!

Enjoy!
