Happy Thanksgiving!

There is nothing I look forward to more than the smell of turkey filling my house except....actually eating the turkey! We had a low key fun filled day of card games, eating and playing.

Before dinner my Dad got the chance to play with my new camera by taking our annual family Christmas picture, along with some others that got rejected. I am thankful that I have so much family close to spend time with. Hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving as well.....oh and 29 days until Christmas!!!!!

Ally is a Dancing Fool!

Sorry no pictures of this. Today we went to the library where a musical guest was playing for story time. His name is Eric Herman. He was fantastic! It took the kids about 10 minutes to get into it, but once they did I had a hard time keeping track of them. They were up dancing and participating, it was fantastic. Well after a few songs and fun jumping, dancing, and craziness Eric announced that they would be having a dance contest and the winner would win a CD! Well they went through the whole song and I saw them keeping an eye on Ally. Well when it was all over, she had won! I snuck over to her to get it so she wouldn't destroy it and it took a bit of coaxing to have her give it to me. When it was all over she ran over to me and said, "Where's my CB?" She had to have it in her hands since she had won it. Eric signed it for the kids and we bought two more of his CD's. It is such fun music and gets you moving and laughing! I was so excited for Ally. Then it was off to home for lunch and quiet time in which they planned to listen to all their new CD's.

25 Years

For the last 25 years I have be privileged to witness the growth of an amazing man. My brother turns 25 today and I am so blessed to have him not only as my brother but one of my best and closest friends. We celebrated this momentous event with a family dinner on Saturday. Followed by a couple rousing board games. Eric, I love you and and can't wait to see what the next 25 years of your life brings!
