Happy Thanksgiving!

What a great day-food and family,I’m so thankful for both!

Ho, Ho, Ho!

Took the kids to the Jubilee of Tree’s today to get our picture with Santa-

I was worried that Jack would freak out, but he just plopped on Santa’s lap and said “Hi!”

Then Kim came over to take our yearly family picture…

Jack was a stinker, but we got a few good ones. Thanks Kim!

On that note….here’s a cute picture of my naughty baby…

Even the baby loves playing Rock band!

 

“New Moon” x’s 2

yes…we got in line at 8:30pm last night….

yes…Cassi and I are wearing matching t-shirts that I made….

yes, Cassi took a picture with the girl dressed up as Alice….

Yes, Patrick LOVED it…. hahahhahahhahaa!

Yes, I went again this morning with Cassie…

And yes, I plan on seeing it again as soon as possible!

Go Team Jacob! Did I just say that out loud? I’m so sorry Edward, but Jacob is just so….sigh. Not so DEAD looking. No offense to Robert Pattinson-You’re still my boyfriend.

Another Reason I Love This Time Of Year…

Is breaking out the baking gloves! Baking cookies in particular…like these raspberry shortbread cookies we made today…

MaryJane always has to decorate her own cookie…with as much frosting and sprinkles as possible!

YUM!

 

Jingle Bells, Batman Smells…

I know I know! Christmas is still weeks away, but Jay brought the Christmas boxes out of the shed and into the garage, and I couldn’t help taking a peek inside and skimming off the top. I found a stocking and just HAD to make one for Maggie…

And then I found these plain glass globes,and HAD to make “New Moon” ornaments! ( We made “Twilight” ones last year…)

Only another week and a half until I get to put the tree up..my second favorite activity to do all year! (The first being carving pumpkins!)

Until then…”New Moon” midnight Thursday night! WEEEEEeeeeeeEE! And then Thanksgiving! Whoopee! Happy Tuesday everyone!

Happiness Is…

What made you happy today?

Grandma Silvers

Just found out that my Grandma Silvers passed away this morning. More than anything, I’m sad for my Mom-no one is ready to lose their Mother-no matter your age. I am glad that she went fairly quickly-she just found out she had liver cancer a few weeks ago, and has been going downhill for some time before that. I know that where she is now, is full of the people she loves and she’s very happy. We were not close,but I will try and remember the good things about her….like her junk drawers full of treasures, the dollhouse cabinets, the spooky basement and the great gifts she gave for Christmas! Happy eternity, Grandma.

Jack’s New Glasses part infinity/Yes, I have the mentality of a pre-teen

We got Jack’s 4th pair of glasses today. These ones actually fit,and he seems to like them. At least, they aren’t broken yet, and he’s keeping them on fairly well.

And yes, I went specifically to the mall to get my issue of Vanity Fair with Hot Rob on the cover.

You got a problem with me and my Hot Rob T-shirt? I’ve already admitted to my obsession! I just can’t help myself….

 

Because, yes, I am 12 years old.

Lookie what Jay bought me!

They are going up on the shelf with my Gwen barbies!Yeah!

And look how cute Oliver is!
