HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!!!

Three years!

One week from now will be our three year dating anniversary...or our pre-wedding anniversary!! I still cannot believe it has been three years. We have been very blessed in finding each other. I love him with all my heart. This coming April will be one year till our wedding! And I will also be trying on wedding dresses for the first time...I think I may have mentioned that before! I am most excited to see our girls (my future step daughters) in their bridesmaid dresses!!

'Tis the Season!

Thanksgiving is coming around the corner...and before you know it Christmas will be here! And the TV ads and store windows won't let you forget that it's our favorite time of the year to go shopping! I think I saw Christmas decorations at the mall the week before Halloween...it seems to get earlier and earlier every year! But Christmas isn't all about gifts...it's about family. However, I do love buying gifts for the girls!! Last year I went a little overboard...so we will see how I do this year. I'm hoping to just get a few art supplies and craft kits for the oldest girl and a doll house for the younger one...and probably a few things here and there! Deck the Halls...and get ready for the most wonderful time of the year! HO,HO,HO!

Magic Fairy Dust!

"Yep, just a little bit of pixie dust," said Peter Pan. We will be flying in the air this weekend with the new "TinkerBell" movie we bought today for the girls. They don't know it yet so we will be surprising them with it on Saturday. They are very big TinkerBell fans...they have dolls that we got them last Christmas when the movie was first advertised. This movie seemed to have been pushed back several times and I originally heard that Brittany Murphy was supposed to play Tinker Bell's voice. But now Tink is being played by Mae Whitman, who is Sandra Bullock's little girl from "Hope Floats" and Diane Lane's daughter in "Nights in Rodanthe".

I have done my part...

Have you done your part today? There is still some time left if you haven't...so please get out there and VOTE!!!!

Late Pumpkins!

As you can see there are only three pumpkins now...and there were four in the previous picture! My fiance's pumpkin didn't make it...it turned rotten on us! But he had a great time helping me carve the alien, which we made from some great stencils we had left over from last year. The Boo Ghost was also from the stencils, however the silly face was done by the artistic hand of our thirteen year old!! What a great talent she has become to love. We hope everyone had a Happy Halloween!!
