Happy New Year's!!!

The holidays flew by

Can’t believe they are done

So packed full of excitement

And getting to see everyone

There was a potluck at work

Ugly sweaters galore

My peanut butter pie on the menu

And everyone screamed for more

That night was for the girls

When at Janel’s we did meet

Ornaments, tacos, and laughs

Ending with desserts so sweet

In full force came the Shepard’s

For the annual party so great

Potluck, piñata, and pictures

With Steve along as my date

Thirty or more family members

Ate ham, tamales, and sweets

Drawing numbers for the gift game

Hoping for a present beyond neat

Arriving home after the party

In front of my eyes did appear

But from Nebraska my son Jordan

So awesome it made my eyes tear

Wednesday found me celebrating

Christmas Eve with Steve’s clan

Prime rib, potatoes and pie

Gifted Chanel perfume from my man

Christmas morning was a trio

Just Sam, Jordan and me

Celebrating our blessings

Beneath my little silver tree

That day my eye began to water

Turned red, swollen, and itch

Allergy medicine could not fix it

The pain was a real bitch

But nothing would stop me

From cooking the holiday meal

Homemade clam chowder on the menu

No time for my eye to heal

Christmas night was an evening

Watching movies with my boys

Hanging out eating cookies

And making lots of noise

Now the holiday is over

And New Year’s is at our reach

Can’t wait for the 31st to get here

Since with Steve I’ll be at the beach

This Diva hopes your festivities

Made a memory for you so dear

Hoping you have a great 2015

And a fabulous New Year’s!!
