Sparkling and Glistening

What a week this has been. Getting back in the swing of things really is work! But we are there. Christmas decor has been taken down, and we are enjoying the new year, albeit not quite attune to all this cold weather we've been getting down south! We even had a bit of snow the day after Christmas! We had just enough to glisten on the ground and lightly cover the trees... Which is a wonderful segue to... My Christmas gift from my husband.

I have been debating whether to write this post or not. While I enjoy reading about others' treats and Christmas surprises, I normally... Oh well, what the heck. I love my gift and have spent the past week admiring it. It makes me happy!  (Call me superficial and materialistic if you must.) And when one gets excited about something... Well, she just wants to share!  See if you can tell the difference between these two pictures...

Christmas Eve  Christmas Morning
The pictures do not do it justice. (And my old lady hands are quite distracting...)

But I was just giddy with excitement when I opened the little green box. The diamond ring guard sitting so perfectly. And after adding it to her two friends already adorning my left hand, you better believe Mike got a big squeal and humongous hug and kiss!
