Happy Thanksgiving Y'all!!

I hope everyone has a wonderful Thanksgiving with family and friends. I'm thankful to have found the blogging world!! Gobble Gobble!

You've gotta be kidding me . . .

Chicken pox?? I have the chicken pox? WTF?!! Hubby had the shingles about 3 weeks ago, but we didn't know it was the shingles until a week into it. And guess who never had the chicken pox as a child and because of when I was born, the vacinnation wasn't out yet . . . ME! Oh, we're in for some fun.

What have I done?!!

I volunteered to host Christmas at our new house this year . . . yes, you read that right - I VOLUNTEERED!!!!! Oh.My.God - what have I done?! We've always gone to my parents and I was just responsible for a side dish, maybe a dessert . . . I've never had to cook a big turkey or ham!!! Lord, help me. If nothing else, my culinary skills should provide comic relief for the day.

Christmas Swap

Join the fun and participate in Clemsongirl's Christmas swap!

It's Right Around the Corner . .

Christmas that is!! Christmas shopping has officially begun in our household! Because we're on a budget, I start buying gifts in October. We've already bought Noah's main gift - woo hoo!! Jessica, the teenager, is easy this year - she just wants $. We've told the family that this year we're downsizing with the number of gifts. With the economy the way it is and after seeing how many toys we got rid of before moving, we need to focus more on the season and not how many toys there are under the tree. I want to do more baking in my new kitchen and enjoy decorating our new house . . . making memories and new traditions with our family.

Have you started shopping?!!

Wordless Wednesday

So Proud

Jessica and the other girls on her cheerleading squad did sooooo good today at their competition! They nailed their stunt - woo hoo!! So very proud of them and all the hard work they've put in. Especially proud of Jessica who won a special award. A cheerleader from each squad is selected to win this award that is in honor of a fellow cheerleader who was killed in a car crash when she was only 8 years old. The award is given to those who exemplify what being a cheerleader is all about and Jessica won it!!
