Give Thanks

We have so much to be thankful for this Thanksgiving. For family, for health, for abundance, for electricity, for clothes, for a place to live, for freedom...Click here to view a special commercial. A family that I know is spending their Thanksgiving at St. Jude's with their daughter who is battling a brain tumor. This commercial puts things in perspective. Pay attention to the little girl walking down the hallway in this one...her name is McKaylee and she is an example to us all. You can also check out her Caring Bridge by clicking here or her mom has a blog worth reading as well. Happy Thanksgiving and I hope that we all take time to remember our blessings!

Psalms 105:1

Give thanks to the Lord, call on his name; make known among the nations what he has done.

For your entertainment...

A friend of mine led me to this blog and I got the best laugh.  Basically, it is a blog all about professionally decorated cakes.  The humor is in the commentary she adds about all the cakes.  If you want a good laugh, check it out by clicking on the link!

Preview of Christmas Pics

Last Sunday we went to Aldridge Gardens to take pictures for our annual Christmas Card. I can't say that it was wonderful. Leah was less than excited to be there. I changed my header picture on the blog and it is one of the pics we got. The above pic in this post pretty much sums up the day...we all decided to make a mean face so we could fit in with Leah.

Halloween 2008

This year we decided to have a halloween party for the kids' friends. It was lots of fun for them and for us. We ALL dressed up. There are a few pics below, and I will add more later when I get a moment, but for now here is a taste of what we had. I don't know if you'll be able to tell, but I made brains and guts, and we had several body parts for feeling! It was very spooky. Don't worry no one was harmed in the making of my props. The guts were spaghetti noodles, the eyes were whole olives, the teeth were popcorn kernels, and the tongues were apricots. Of all of them, the tongues were by far the creepiest to feel. It felt pretty real. When I get a little more time I will add pics of the other games we played! Everyone had lots of fun and I think we are going to make it an annual event...

In case you can't tell we are the Wicked Witch of the West, Frankenstein, Sleeping Beauty, and Jack Sparrow....Leah was Alice in Wonderland, but she was asleep for this pic. I'll post one of her in costume later!
