A Celebration...Or Two!

 Another week has gone by and we are nearing the end of January-already??? Hope this week has begun on a good note for everyone. In my last T post I mentioned we were expecting to get some of our first snow-and we did!! Tuesday evening presented us with a wicked but fascinating snow squall! Thankfully it didn't last long and I even went out and got some photos of it-just for YOU:) Scroll down to the end for the art part.

  I had no idea what I would get because the snow was blowing on my camera and in my face but I thought that last two which appear to have orbs floating around were pretty cool!

 Hubby had a birthday this past Sunday so first we celebrated Sat. night by going out to eat at one of several favorite places downtown-the Hotel Bethlehem.  Our crab cake dinners were fabulous-no fillers in those cakes!:

and the manager whom we got to know came over and offered Bill dessert on the house!

                         He chose a molten lava cake and enjoyed every bite.

 Sunday I made a traditional spaghetti and meatball dinner with homemade sauce, salad, Tuscan garlic bread, and a homemade chocolate cake (hubby's request). Our son and his girlfriend and my Mom came over. We began with champagne and opening of gifts:

                               Mom insisted I show off the whole apron:):)

                               Opening the fun gift I got him which was this....

 an Elvis Presley Bobblehead!! And knowing my Mom would LOVE this herself I got her one too!! I only got this because Bill mentioned something about having one when we were discussing Elvis while his Peanut bobblehead was looking on:) My son and I joked about this being the way we like Elvis-silent-ha ha!! However, Elvis music was on the CD player all evening cuz after all , it was Bill's birthday.  Elvis came along to sing happy birthday too:

 We all had such a blast and laughed the night away, and I must say it was a perfect evening!
Here's to my T Stands for Tuesday gals, and especially Deb :). Personally I got enough Elvis, so that should last for another year (at least when I'm home:)!

 I managed to squeeze in some art by doing this journal page:

  I bet most of you know what artist this inspiration came from! As for my new online class I just began delving into it so you will have to wait until my next post later this week to see some art etc.
Linking this to  Try It On Tuesday (theme is "silhouettes" ), along with Art Journal Every Day later this week.

 Be well, and have a wonderful rest of the week!
