The Plymouth Rock Cafe

We have been blessed to have AMAZING teachers for my girls every year. This year has been no exception. Emee's teacher has done some amazing things for my little lady. She LOVES school and can't wait to go everyday. She is reading amazingly, and is ahead in all of her studies. Which has been a huge improvement over last year. I think that having her health improve has made a huge difference for her. Anyways, for Thanksgiving this year, her class hosted the "Plymouth Rock Cafe". We had to make reservations, and then were able to eat lunch with Emee in her classroom. Each student had a certain job. Some took reservations, some were on the clean-up crew, and my Emee was on the decoration committee. (She is a little like her mama in that way, LOL) The whole thing was so darling. The tables were set with tablecloths and little candles, and the whole room was decorated like Plymouth Rock. I loved how he gave every child a specific job. Emee was so proud, and we had a lot of fun.

TWILGHT!!!

Last night was so much fun! I was so excited about our Twilight Party that I could hardly wait or sit still all day! LOL! We started off the night by a few of us heading to visit our good buddy Kelli who just had the most beautiful baby girl! She is stunning, and it was so sweet to see both her and Mike and how excited they were for their new little sweetheart. I think that I could have held her all night:) She was so perfect! When we left Annie and I were devising a way to keep that little lady for ourselves! LOL!



After that we headed to Louie's for a fun dinner. We had the banquet room reserved, and it thankfully held ALL of us! The food was yummy and it was so much fun to sit and talk with everyone! I just love all of these good ladies! Next..... YEAHHHHH we were off to the movie. IT WAS CRAZY! I think that we were there over an hour before the movie was supposed to start, and the line was crazy insane!But it gave us a chance to hang out a little more with the girls. When the line started to move it was complete pandemonium. You would have thought that we were off to meet Edward himself! I LOVED, LOVED, LOVED the movie!!!!! It was awesome! Is it bad to have a crush on a VAMPIRE? LOL! Edward is beyond beautiful! It was so much fun to hear all the giggles and gasps from everyone in the theatre. If you love the books, YOU have to see this movie! So anyways, it was a perfect night! Thanks to everyone who came, and for the fun memories! See you next year, same place, same time for the second movie! LOL!

Week #4-Thank Heavens for Mr. Anderson!

My family is a HUGE Webkinz family! We love it, and I am a little embarrassed to say that I have as many as my little girls. LOL! Eric has only 1 Webkinz, a monkey named Mr. Anderson and he has become a very special thing between Emee and her Dad. Because of Eric's job he unfortunately has to travel quite a bit, and my little ladies miss him so much! When he leaves, Emee takes Mr. Anderson with her everywhere she goes. She sleeps with him, plays with him, and when she is missing her Dad, she snuggles Mr. Anderson. So this week I am very grateful for Mr. Anderson and a sweet Dad who works so hard to connect with his little ladies, even when he is far away!

No more braces! Yipeee!

Today was a BIG day! Hannah was able to get her braces off! Hooray! Look at that cute smile:)Amazingly, she was a little sad about it. She loved her braces!

What Year Do You Belong In?

It's that time of year.....

I LOVE CHRISTMAS! I love everything about it. The fresh smell of pine, early morning stealth ninja stakeouts for fresh greenery,the music, the anticipation, sledding and hot chocolate, the colors, the stories, warm fires, cozy blankets, special family traditions, the smell of homemade wassail, the smiles on strangers faces, the feelings of compassion and giving, and the daily reminder of the birth of our Savior. Oh my heavens I am so excited that I can barely type. LOL! So it is my tradition to start decorating the day after Halloween. I wasn't able to this time, soooooooo..... I declare this week my official CHRISTMAS DECORATING WEEK! Wahooo!

A Haunted Forest, A Halloween Party, Sweet Sisters and Great Friends!

This weekend was so much fun! It was the perfect way to finish up the fun October month. On Thursday we got together with a few of our buddies and went to this really cool park. It was right on the Greenbelt, by the river, so the scenery was amazing! The trees and the fall foliage was incredible. This is the same place where the Fire Department hosts their annual "Haunted Forest" every year. We are all pretty much wayyyy to chicken to try it out at night, so we all went through it during the afternoon. It was a fun little hike and it was fun to see all of the stuff that they have set up!It was so much fun, so check out some of the pictures.

For Halloween night we had a good 'ol Halloween get together at our house. We had a few of our good friends come over for a potluck and trick-or-treating. It was a ton of fun. Everyone brought the yummiest things and it was just fun hanging out and talking. All of the kids looked so darn cute! Check them out.

When it was time to go Trick-or-Treating, Hannah got sick and was feeling pretty miserable. So her sweet little sister went trick-or-treating for her. She said it was because she didn't want Hannah to feel left out. Needless to say Hannah was VERY grateful! LOL!



So to finish off our fun week, last night we got together for a girls night out to celebrate my buddies Annie and Chris's birthday. It was a blast! I absolutely adore both of these good ladies and it was fun to have the chance to celebrate them. I still can't believe that we did not get kicked out of Louies, for staying so long!! LOL! My face hurt when I came home from laughing so much.... so Happy Birthday my friends, we love you!
