Dec 9/10th 2009 Blizzard!

Hello All,
How is everyone? Hope all is well. As you can tell we had a BLIZZARD. When you look at the pictures I would like you to keep in mind that it's Serina who is 9 n CJ would almost 5 tryin to walk in it! LOL.. It was soo deep. I let them play n helped them build a fort n track for their sled! lol... Now we are in a deep freeze so we aren't doin much.

2 weeks til Christmas... WOW! The year has flown and well I can't believe it's already almost Christmas. As for the shoppin that comes along with that well I have to say I find that I got all my shoppin done early BUT I am finding that I am spending MORE then the other years cause I always seem to think oh 1 more and that leads to more. Guess I never feel DONE DONE??? Ahh.. I hope everyone has a nice holiday season and well a safe one too!

Thanksgiving 2009

How is everyone? Hope all is well! How was your Thanksgiving? Ours was great. Another great holiday has passed and now we are on to Christmas!!! I can't believe it. Seems like things are going fast. Luckily I got over half my Christmas shopping done a couple months ago. So I mainly have my Kids and Craig left to do... What to get??? LOL. I usually put my tree up the day after Thanksgiving however I haven't done it yet today... Matthew is making me nervous I have a feeling he is gonna pull it DOWN. As for wrapping the gifts and putting them under the tree YEA that will wait til the last possible time... I still love this age that he is at. It's so fun. He has really grown this last couple months. Time flies... Well I should get to cleaning! Have a great weekend and Holiday Season!

HAPPY 9th BIRHDAY Serina (yesterday)

Hello All,
How is everyone? Hope all is well. Yesterday was Serina's 9th birthday. We did a lil party for her. She said it was her best birthday ever.. Glad she liked it. As you can see by the pics above. The "cones" were cupcake cones and I made them and took them into her class. Which was a big hit. All in all a busy yet great day. Now that thats done on to Thanksgiving... I will be making the dinner at my house. Craig will be up north hunting like he does every year. I sure hope he can get a deer. Speaking of the gun deer hunt starts this weekend and continues for 9 days. So it's official the holiday season is HERE! WOW.. seems like this year is flyin!

Well have a great weekend all!

17 days til Thanksgiving....

Hello all,
How is everyone? Hope all is well. Can you believe the holidays are like almost here?!?!? I can't. In a lil over a week it will be my first born babies last single digit birthday!!! Then exactly one week later it's Thanksgiving. So I thought I would talk about the "forgotten" holiday! I mean there is all this "hype" and decor for Halloween and Christmas then there is Thanksgiving... I would love to decorate for it since it is one of my favorite holidays. I think it's like 45 days til Christmas! Thought I would add that in too. lol.

Yea so I was wondering what are your traditions for Thanksgiving? What is your favorite part of the holiday season?

Our traditions are a lil different then some. I usually do Thanksgiving at my moms with my kids. Craig n I have been together for a lil over 10 yrs and we haven't spent a Thanksgiving together not one time. I don't mind tho. Thats his time to gun deer hunt. So he spends it with his family up north. This year we will be doing Thanksgiving at my house. I am excited. I love to cook for people so it will be a treat!!! While making the turkey we like to watch the Macy's Thanksgiving day parade. As for my favorite part of the season.... I would have to say that warmness that you get. The kindness is great. Seems like a "magical" time of year. I just wish we could all have that same feeling all year around. Well those are my thoughts on Thanksgiving! Let me know yours!

Take Care and Have a great week!

Halloween 2009!

Hello all!
How is everyone? I sure hope everyone is well. HAPPY HALLOWEEN to everyone! I hope everyone had a great time on this holiday! I know my kids did. Serina was spooky again this year and CJ was a alien which would have been spooky IF he left his mask on BUT he didn't. Matthew is was just VERY cute! They made out with lots of candy after 2 hrs of trick or treating! All in all it was fun. The next thing up is Serina's 9th Birthday in 2 1/2 weeks! Then we have Thanksgiving! The holidays are among us already! Well I wanted to just give a quick update! Have a great weekend!

Pumpkin Carving 2009

Hello All,
How is everyone? Hope all is well. Serina and I have been really sick the last week, I even lost my voice. Serina got called home from school Monday with a 103 fever. So this week there is no school on Thurs and Friday. So Serina will get a 7 day break! We are slowly getting better. On to a happier note. Saturday is Halloween. In light of the holiday we carved pumpkins last night. Lots of fun! I carved Matthew and CJ's and Serina did half of hers and Craig helped her with the other half. They turned out nice. Once again Matthew has a cute one this year! Well the next post should be of Halloween!!! I hope everyone stays healthy and safe!

Take Care!!!
