Let's Make Some Christmas Cookies...

The Tuesday before Christmas the grand-kids and a good family friend and her kids all gathered at my mom's house to make Christmas cookies. We had so much fun, and I'm pretty sure Santa loved the cookies as well!!! As always I take a ton of pictures to share in the joy, fun, and excitement that we all had in doing our annual, Oma's Christmas Cookies!!!

So this Christmas I've participated in a blog secret Santa, and have had so much fun with it. Not just shopping for a mystery person, but learning about all these cool new blog people! When I got to my mail box today, I had a surprise waiting for me from my secret Santa.

So my loot from my SS is pictured below:

1. Body Scrub
2. Pack of two ornaments
3. Pack of two apple candles, so cute!
4. 4 super super cute bookmarks
5. Martha's Classic thanksgiving DVD and recipe holder
6. A WHOLE bag of almond kisses, Which I will NOT share!!!

Thanks to my SSS, I LOVE everything you got me, and had a ton of fun opening everything!

Everything was wrapped pretty

Then I dug in

And look at all my goodies!!!

A fun filled Thanksgiving!!!

Thanksgiving is such a peaceful time of year. It's so wonderful to gather around the table with family and friends. Our Thanksgiving was just as it always is, simple and perfect. Not to big not to small. Everyone but me stuffed there faces till they couldn't breath, I ate my few bits and was good to go!!!

We played our homemade version of pictionary, which was great and oh so much fun! We laughed at Madison who flipped out when a dog sniffed her shoe, wish I had gotten pictures of that, but oh well it was still funny!

Then after putting my husband and kids to bed, I got my crocs on and off to midnight madness I went. I only went to Toys r' us, but that was enough for me, I'd love to tell y'all about all the great deals I got, but sadly they are secrets, since most of them were for people who read my blog!

But I can and will say I only spent $45.00, that's like a new world record for me, came home with 2 bags full of goodies, and saved a good $60.00!!! How can you not love holiday season? I'm so glad we get to put our Christmas tree up, and start planning our Christmas adventures!

We have so many exciting events coming up this month and I just can't wait! I feel like such a little kid again!!! Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving~

Girls and Midnight...

So what is there to do at Midnight on a Thursday night? What else but go see NEW MOON!!! And you can't go without your girlfriends, right??? We were tired and excited, what better way to see a movie with a bunch of hot guys and my future husband, Edward.

Yes, Clayton does know how in love with him I am and he's okay with it, LOL!!! Just a random side note, if you notice in all my pictures I now have a cup with me! Since surgery I don't think I go anywhere with out a drink now a days, I find it funny!!!

Group Shot with the girls, we were waiting in line!

So after you've been waiting in line, you get bored and these things happen

We were really starting to feel the late night
