What I am Thankful for.....better late than never!

Hello all, so I know I have totally been a slacker with blogging but life has been a little crazy. In October my cousin got married. I did a whole desert room for her that included several goodies, a fully stocked chocolate fountain, mini cheesecakes, oreo balls, mini fruit tarts, mini chocolate eclairs, and mini cream puffs. Also punch and milk. So for about two weeks my house and kitchen were a wedding explosion. It was a blast and I was glad to have the opportunity to do it, but I was glad when it was over. Congrats Jessica and Brad, I am glad you found your prince charming.
Also in October was my husbands 31st birthday! I should have been a good wife and blogged 31 reasons why I love my husband or something like that but instead a friend let us borrow their cabin and we went for an overnight trip without Delia, after a dinner at Shoguns. We enjoyed our evening and then went fishing the next morning and ate orange icing cinnamon rolls for breakfast!

And finally in October I planned my churches fall festival for the kids. I had to organize food, games and more! I had lots of help thankfully, it went off without a hitch and I think both kids and adults enjoyed it. Me and Delia went as Dorothy and Chuck went as the scarecrow.

In November my Mom celebrated her 50th birthday. I decorated her office and threw her a surprise party! She hates things like that, but hey you only turn 50 once, besides she doesn't look 50 so it is ok. I got her a "NANA bracelet" that has mine, my brothers, and Delia's birthstone on it. I will have to add others as the come. :)

Thanksgiving was good this year, just a dinner at my mom's house. I love cooking for my family! This year I only made deviled eggs and greenbean casserole, but after all of the other planning and cooking over the last couple of months that was fine with me.

And then Christmas........I really hate shopping, I think it is the country girl in me. I just like the quiet outdoors. Not noisy, smelly stores with rude people. I bet I could never go to the mall and would be just fine, maybe my children will not know what the mall is. :) I am trying to make most of my gifts and so far I am having luck! I enjoy making things for people and I hope they enjoy them to and don't just think I am trying to be cheap. (Even though it usually is cheaper to make gifts!) Well I think that is all for now, that should update you from my last post until now so I just have to get better about this blogging thing. Hope you all have a blessed holiday season and a Merry Christmas!!!!

Have a blessed week!
