Twas the Night before Thanksgiving!

Twas the night before Thanksgiving and all through the kitchen

There was pouring, and grilling, and cooking and mixin!

We all had our aprons on, from our necks to our feet,

And everyone was cooking for the big thanksgiving day feast!

The food was prepared with precision and care,

Then placed in the fridge to set over night there.

After all was prepared a great joy filled the air,

As games were played, giggles shared and family was everywhere!

The night was over, time to turn off the lights,

As we all yelled, "Happy Thanksgiving! and to all a Good Night!"

Thanksgiving 5K

We Ran, and Ran, and Ran! It was Awesome!

Ray finished in 21 minutes! Wow!

Michelle and Alexis finished in 41 and 47 minutes.

Brandon finished in 46.5 minutes.

Domenic finished in 48 minutes (with a little help from Ray at the end!)

I finished in 51 minutes! Under an hour, I am pretty proud of myself. I was no 20 minutes and under, but I finished and that is all that matters!
Maybe it will be a new family tradition!?!

5K here we come!

Alright all you marathoners! Thanks a lot for giving the running bug to my husband, daughter, son... now we all are running the 5 K on Thanksgiving morning!

Pictures of victory to come later!

He's Official!

After 2 1/2 years, Skyler is now an official member of our family! I finished his Christmas stocking today!

Why so long? Laziness...procrastination...not sure??? But it is done, cute, and so him!

Grandma! Thank you for this wonderful legacy. I feel love through you every time I look at each stocking! Add this one to your list of wonderful creations!

You Meddling Kids!

For Halloween we went as the Scooby Doo gang! Before you ask it, No, we did not have a Shaggy! Sorry, sometimes there just aren't enough people!

Domenic went as Fred, and we have been blonding his hair out for the last month in preparation! It turned out great!

Alexis was Daphne! This girl is totally Daphne in every way. We really only had to add a red wig!

Skyler got to be the famous pup! He was such a great puppy! He would walk on all fours, run around like a happy little guy, and candy really is his food of choice. He was in heaven!

Brandon was Captain Cutler! This deep sea diving dude is one of the original Scooby bad guys! He looked Awesome! We added glowing sea weed (silly string, and glow sticks) just like in the cartoon! Too much fun!

I added this picture, because it is funny! What is up with my head? Weird lighting effects!
