12 Days of Christmas Disorganized Harmony Style

On the twelfth day of Christmas,  

my mister reminded me of

Twelve bearded photos of Brandon, 

 
Eleven jokes from Grandma, 

Ten minutes of muppet, 

Nine Teen Witch Sing Alongs,

Eight laughs from Briante, 

Seven sparkles on steampunk jewelry, 
Six bells on chihuahua collars, 

The Fabulous Five, 

Four chocolate Minstrels, 
Three stiches in my bottom lip, 

Two Kindle Fires, 
And Margot got a monkey! 

 

From our family to yours,

 

Happy Holidays everyone! 

To Grandma's House We Go

Great Grandma's house is so cozy 

and filled with all sorts of vintage finds.

She has a story for each and every object 

that she's collected all these years.

 I think all of my cousins have found this magazine while treasure hunting at Great Grandmas.  This was the ultimate supremo find and made us feel super sluethy. 

 

 

Hi-Ho! Cherry-O was my favorite game to play at Great Grandma's when I was little.

Does anyone else remember this game?

This is my favorite photo of mom's family.  I think it's the fashion that really speaks to me.

I do recognize Grandma's brooch.  It's in my collection of sparkles.  And Grandma's glasses - I love them!

 

Vintage packaging.  Underalls is a very clever name for pantyhose.

Whenever I wear pantyhose from now on- I'm just going to refer to them

as my underalls.

It's a bird. It's a Plane. It's UNCLE ZANE!

It's a bird.

It's a plane.

It's UNCLE ZANE!

Gather the Spectacular 5 (Uncle Zane, Aunt Theresa, TT, Mom, & Aunt Gretchen) together in Minnesota and what do you get?

  

Blog material.

Via picture message, of course.

Thank you Spectacular 5, especially Uncle Zane.

Uncle Zane's Tie

Greek Mythology (according to Uncle Zane & his tie)...

This is Daphne.  Beautiful, but one of the less known figures of Greek mythology.

Daphne was being pursued by some guy and she had enough.

To escape this guy's advances, she turned herself into a laurel tree.

Upon further inspection, Uncle Zane concluded

that his tie is pretty neat -

but the artist could have done away with the 

branch jutting out of Daphne's stomach.

Uncle Zane - you're the coolest.  And your ties are pretty neat too.
