Thanksgiving Meals and Memories

Victor was so thoughtful. This book has recipes, pages to write like in a journal, places for photo's and soooo much more....You all know how much I love journals....now I have a very special book for as a "Thanksgiving Journal".......

I added some new songs this morning.....hope everyone enjoys them.....your all welcome to add some of your favorites or take away what you either don't care for or are tired of hearing......I'll send all of you the instructions on getting in......( this afternoon)...right now I am getting ready to do some errands......

Will Be Adding...

I just quickly put some music on late last night. Will be taking it off when I get some time for something more appropriate. Or lively..... whatever.

Mike's carrot cake , Michael & Liz's Christmas tree cake

Playing Papa.

Girly cookies.

She loved decorating the sugar cookies.

Mike's cake & cream cheese frosting, before swirling & twirling.

Trying to get them in a position to take a picture wasn't easy......

A Few

Little Miss Bright Eyes.

I think these guys laughted the entire day.

Spinach, red pears. red onion, feta cheese & maple syrup toasted pecans. Even Michael and Keith said , "This is good salad." And I didn't hint around or say anything. Little Miss Prissy sliced almost all the pears. She, of course, put all the ingredients together and stirred them most earnestly with her very precious chefette flair.

Reminds me of Daddy. Cathy said to tell you this is my grandson Michael.

The twins.....

Laura opens her santa

and she has the perfect sleigh for him to sit in.

My Christmas Tree Before the Kids Arrive -

My Christmas Cake

Merry Christmas!

Here is Emma's doll dressed in her Christmas dress just before she jumped into her gift bag.

Merry Christmas

Meet Daisy. We are both tired. Other people are still up, but we are going to bed. Cathy & I went to church tonight. Took Baby Jesus with us . He was the star of the show. There is a wooden cross (always there), in front of that, a manger and straw spread around. Sweet baby Jesus (Ashton) lying in the manger. A box . People put a pretty card in the box. The card stated what gift you were giving to Jesus this Christmas. Everyone went up. Very nice. Good nite.

Merry Christmas Eve Everyone.....................It's time to finish all those projects and finish up on those last minute details.....I am making my list of what I have to finish today and checking it off as I get it accomplished. If I manage my time wisely I think I will be able to squeeze it all in.....May God Bless you all this wonderful day.....

It's 12:12 and I've Done Battle With the Kitty & She Won

I truly wanted to post a picture of Autumn's kitty tonight.But, alas, she's got me worn down to a frazzle...Her eyes need to come off, and her mouth needs to go on. I'm going to take a break- -all night. At least I'll know what I'm doing when I commence ( Mrs. Bowen used to use that word a bit ) to working on Mary's kitty. Mikey's puppy is almost finished. Good night to all.

Brian and Valory's Santa

YIPEE ! I finally finished all 5 Santas!!

Dennis & Christines and Jason & Amy's Santas

Ya Know! I wish we could change pictures once we upload them to the post! I put the same one in twice and wanted to delete one but could I? Noooooo :-)

Susan and Jeff's Santa

I made Susan's using this brown plaid as her living room is done mostly in browns. I am working on 3 more santas for the boys. All I have left to do with theirs is to put the hats on and sew their cinnamon bags.
