t'was the night before christmas

and all through the viegers'

not a creature was stirring

they were sitting still in da house

a game of serious blockus was underway

and guess who won- yes that's right- ALLI and TAY!

it was a lovely evening! we drove home to our house

we woke up to spend christmas with our little girl

broccoli cheese whole wheat bread pudding for taylor

flowers for the table

yummy fruit salad with mint and toasted almonds

we headed to 'the carols' for christmas evening

we were so excited that drunk santa made an appearance

he was getting toasted!

cousin brent sat on his lap

along with cousin emily

and alli

even though it is overwhelming to do 4 christmas parties in one day i am grateful that my family is heathly and all here in dallas. i had such a great christmas and i love you all!!!

home is

where

the

heart

is

naptime on saturday-

i love my little family

life is too short to get your feathers ruffled every time someone does something you don't like. you just have to let it roll off your tailfeathers- ya dig?!

step by step

christmas magic is.....

happening!!!

along with attacks from lee lou! i was leaning down to arrange some presents i wrapped last night (i take it way to seriously people-i mean business) and lee lou jumped on to my back. she latched on for dear life. when you are faced with this sort os situation you have to not make any sudden movements or she will dig her nails in deeper. it is very scary. you also have to be still enough so your husband can grab the camera to capture the hilarity of it all :)

happy thanksgiving holiday!

just wanted to wish you all a happy healthy thanksgiving holiday! i plan to be bobbing around with joy like these guys spending some quality time with family and friends-enjoy!

it's time

i've been waiting in anticipation for this day since last year when i saw the first movie in stephenie meyers' vampire series-twilight. i cannot believe it is finally here- NEW MOON! make some noise people- what other films combine vampires, mortals, and werewolves all in one?!! hello this is truly exciting! seriously i never thought i would fall so hard for this teenage drama but i am hooked. edward cullen is my man(sorry taylor :). i wanted to order this shirt that said 'fangs are cool', wear it to the movie and bring beet juice from whole foods to drink while were watching the film. then i thought- might scare the kiddies. after all taylor and i were probably the oldest 'kids' in the theater when we went opening night to twilight. who cares? it's fun and my chosen guilty pleasure! we would be going tonight but aunty alli has a shower to attend for baby luke. my date with edward will have to be put on hold until saturday night. i am teaching the afternoon saturday class so we are even staying up past our bedtime to see the excitement unfold vampire style. only edward can convince me to see a 10 o'clock movie. yes that is right - i am a grandma. but a grandma who like sexy vampires. hope you enjoy viewing the attached pic of edward in all his glory.
