Thanksgiving 2012

Good morning! Once again here I am sneaking in a quick blog post while Hailey's still snoozing away and I have a few spare minutes on my hands!

This year we headed to my aunts house, as we do most other years. It’s always a small, but close group of us. Our little family, My aunt and her family, my brother, my mom, my grandpa, Craig’s parentsand grandpa swung by, some of the neighbor kids pop in and out all day, some of the older drunken neighbors pop on all day LOL… just a good group of people!

We ate, drank and were merry, there was football, laughs, etc. The “usual”, which is exactly how we like it.

I made this YUMMY brie!

There were deviled eggs

and LOTS of other goodies

The kids played...

The boys watched football

We all ate WAY too much!!!

After dinner settled, Craig and I headed to Target for some what is now “BLACK THURSDAY” deals. They opened @ 9, so we got there around 8:30, waited in a huge line that wrapped around the back of the store. We ended up getting what we went for (and then some), so it was worth it! The check out line was the worst part…weaving in and out of aisles, like freaking Disneyland. The people weren’t AS crazy as I had seen on the news, thank GOD! People get way too serious about shopping this time of year. I am all for getting a good deal, but there comes a point when it’s just not worth it.
Hope you had a HAPPY THANKSGIVING as well!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Good morning!

I am up, all by myself, which never happens…. so I thought it was the perfect time to sneak in a post about how thankful I am for what I have.

I have many things to be thankful for in my life… of course the luxuries we have, our house, cars, food on our table, heat, water, electricity, jobs, etc. and I am OH SO THANKFUL for those things.

But today I am MOST thankful for this

My beautiful, healthy, perfect family. I honestly don’t know what I would do without these two. I love them with everything I have and I am SO thankful to have them and I can only hope I make them as happy as they make me!

Bob’s Hillbilly Hoedown

Trying to keep up on the blogging over here!

Last weekend we were invited to an annual “Harvest Party” AKA “AARP Meeting”, but I like to call it Bob’s Hillbilly Hoedown!

This is a weekend full of fun, family, friends, food, drinks, quad riding, gun shooting, etc… FULL ON HILLBILLY HOEDOWN if you ask me =)

This also happened to be Craig’s 35th birthday weekend, so naturally, we had to attend =)

Hailey and I haven’t gone the last two years… in 2010 Hailey was a brand new baby and we told daddy to go off and have fun and we stayed home and bonded, which was totally fine by us. Last year Hailey was only a year old and just starting to walk and I just didn’t think it was the best place to take her as its mostly dirt, some stickers, etc.

This year Daddy really wanted us to come and have a good time with him. We did, we brought Spenser too and BOY did we have a great time! Hailey loved it! She’s such an outdoorsy kid, a tomboy on top of it… it was right up her ally! We even brought her little quad that a friend gave her (it was his daughter’s when she was little) that she’s finally big enough to ride. She absolutely loved it. I she was squealing and giggling the whole time she rode it!

I was so proud of what a good girl she was, there were literally NO other kids and it didn’t even phase her… she just entertained herself and played with us and the dogs, there were lots of dogs!
