HAPPY SHOPPING, BAKING & TREE DECORATING TO ALL!

I hope you all have embraced the holiday season in one way or another. Wether it be by shopping for those special people in your life, starting to bake your favorite Christmas foods or by decorating the all to important tree. We started a few days before Thanksgiving allowing the girls to put up there "Disney Princesses" tree. Thanksgiving was at my Aunt Midge's! I made a JELLO mold that everyone was talking about. It was new and yummy!! Then Shawn & I headed out for Black Friday shopping!! I had a blast, he is still complaining (but I think he LOVED it). We got to Toysrus at 3:50 am and waited for an hour and ten minutes in 27 degree weather! Shawn broke his time up by sitting in the car going for hot chocolate and passing a few out to the ladies behind us!! We had so much fun calling to check in with Matt & Amanda and my sister in law Korina. Korina was scared by the "mobs" but Matt, Amanda & I are old pro's! I think everyone has something someone else wanted or need so we will be getting together to swap soon. Yeah were CRAZY like that! It was an awesome day, I loved spending the time with Shawn. I owe a BIG thanks to Matt my hero who found the three pack of Hannah Montana dolls at Target! We did get the tree up, went to a holiday parade, got some outside lights up and really are starting to feel the holiday spirit at our house, I wish the same for all of you and I hope you having as wonderful of start of the season as we are.

Football + Food & Friends = FUN

Yesterday we enjoyed a great party at our dear friends The Sinks!! It was all in good fun of the big border battle Ohio State vs Michigan. Most everyone was for Michigan but we like Ohio having lived here most all of our lives. Brooke wanted Michigan though, I think Aunt Amanda & Uncle Matt had brain washed her earlier in the week at her sleep over with Kennedy & Emmy. LOL It was also a celebration for Matt who is the old guy of the four of us. LOL He will be all of 29 next week. It was a great time with lot's of food and fun. We even had fun playing with "Uncle Mikey"'s WII. Shawn, Annie, Matt, Amanda & I played a good game of Monopoly and we laughed so hard playing that game. I can't wait to play again!! What fun!! Although I hope us women can kick Matt & Shawn's butts!! By the way Matt LOVES money wether it's real or fake!! Can't wait until the next Sink's affair!

Ten Years - November 8th

Shawn & I will be married 10 years tomorrow! How time has flown by passing us both by while we seemed to be looking the other way and changing so many things in our lives. We have seen tough times along with many happy and joyful moments that have over shadowed the bad. We have been blessed with our wonderful daughters Cassidy Lauren & Brooke Morgan and the love we have as a family is so wonderful.

An anniversary toast --
To precious moments today, joys to be treasured tomorrow and love that we will share
ALWAYS! Here's to growing old together, watching our children and grandchildren grow, love and be happy and may that time stand still then as we reflect on just how lucky we truly are to be Mr & Mrs.
