HAPPY HOLIDAYS

Happy holidays!!! Its been a while since I've blogged, too many Holidays at one time!


HAPPY THANKSGIVING! dinner was at our house this year!! I called my Nana & Papa and my Dad over for dinner on Wednesday and I cooked up a big meal for all of us! (since my mom is in CA) I tried so hard to fill my moms shoes! I even made her Fancy Corn Bread Dressing! and for the first time EVER I cooked the turkey myself! Cooking the Dinner was a two day process. I started out on tuesday with the Potatoes, corn bread and all the cookies and Monkey Munch, that I had to hide away so it would still be there for Thanksgiving! (we gobble it up fast!) Early thanksgiving day I cooked up the rest of the food Dinner was supposed to be done by 6 but I think we started to eat around 7, the turkey just wouldnt cook fast enough! I was Very proud of my self for cooking, and it gives me a whole different view and apprication of eating Thanksgiving dinner. I guess we advantage of what is being served, but really it takes a lot of effort and a lot of love to cook a big feast! For all the thanksgiving dinners my mom has slaved over... Mom Thanks! I appriciate it, you do such a Great job!!!
HAPPY BLACK FRIDAY. This year we went out for our Snow globes! we got up early friday morning about 3am got ready and got to the mall about 4ish.. Larry & Kerry & Terry stood in line at Circut City for some DVD movies, Larry Jr was at Grandmas house with Aunt Sherryann. Zachary, Pat & I went to JcPennys for our Snow globes...Well worth the early wake up call! they are so cute. Larry got a lot of his BF items online this year, not very many stores were having good sales. we hope next year is better :)
MERRY CHRISTMAS! Happy Birthday Yeshua!!

We had a white Christmas!
IT SNOWED!! I think about a foot and a half of snow! This year we celebrated Christmas with family and friends! Christmas eve we were at Larry's moms house. We picked up Blace and all had dinner together. simple dinner like usual! then Presents! It was such a joy to see the kids open their gifts! they all were so excited and all wanted to be "elfs" (elfs are the people who hand out the gifts) Larry jr opened a gift from Aunt Terry, it was some Backyardigans music instrument thing... he wanted to open the box and play with it, but he still had so much more to open... it was cute watching him play with his toys! I made him a picture flip book, it has pictures of me and daddy and Zachary just for him to look at! every time he sees a picture of me or daddy he yells "Mama, Daddy!" so i thought he would like the flip book idea! after we opened gifts i took Blace home, then Larry, the kids & I packed up and went home for the night. Then early Chrismas morning we went to Ryan & Nnenna's house for Christmas Breakfast! It was so nice to be with them this year! It means a lot to me to be with loved ones on such a special day and give thanks for all "He" has done for us! I have a Beautiful family and a Blessed life! Happy Birthday Yeshua thank you for all you've done for us!!
HAPPY NEW YEAR! This year we've decide to host the New Year's party at our house! Maybe play some games and eat some Good Food and Welcome the New Year 2009!!!! I hope Every one has a Safe and Happy New Year's Celebration!! (I still cant believe its 2009!)
