HAPPY HOMEMAKER & MENU PLAN MONDAY ~ DECEMBER 12, 2016

I'm keeping it short this morning as my mom is here and we're celebrating Christmas early. If the weather holds we are going to spend the day at Brazos Bend State Park, one of our favorite alligator parks.  I hope to post some great pictures later in the week.

OUTSIDE MY WINDOW & THE WEATHER OUTSIDE
It's going to be a beautiful day!

A banana, a tangerine and coffee.

HOMEMAKING/COOKING TIP

FAVORITE PHOTO FROM THE CAMERA
This year I'm doing "long distance" elves on a shelf for my munchkins again.  I have so much fun trying to come up with new ideas.  This one was sentimental though as they are playing a game I played many a time with my grams and this was her board!
