Meet Hamey...

I have thought this was a cute tradition for a few years, so we adopted our own this year!
Our Elf on the Shelf arrived last night and Bella named him, Hamey!
The first thing she did this morning was look to see where he had moved over night!
We also hear that once his gets comfortable in our home he may cause some mischief!

Suzi's 40th!!!

Suzi celebrated her 40th Birthday on Thanksgiving!
She thought she got away with a quite mention of her 40th...
WRONG!
Jamie, her best friend, Beth, her cousin and I had planned a little SURPRISE dinner for her after a day of Black Friday shopping!!!


Looking great at 40, especially after 13 hours of shopping!!!


Angie, her cousin and Jamie, her best friend! They had some funny memories to share!



Beth and Keith, Suzi's cousins!
Happy 40th, Suzi!!!!!

Happy Thanksgiving!!!

Tim and Bella went to his parents in the afternoon while I worked all day unfornately he didn't take the camera to capture the wonderful day they shared with family! Then we met up at my parents for a wonderful Thanksgiving dinner! Bella was busy with the camera and wanted to get a picture of the whole family, so Ryan set the timer and this is what we got!
Not bad!

Eating at the big table off of the china...big stuff!!!



Bella trying to take a self portrait and get the whole family in!

Bella was just silly that night!!!
We are blessed with our health, beautiful little girl, roof over our heads, jobs, amazing family and wonderful friends! So thankful for those blessings and many more!
We hope that your family had a wonderful Thanksgiving!

Pancakes...

I love to cook and I think part of the reason is because my mom always allowed us to be in the kitchen hands on with her when she was cooking! At the age of 5, I could make pancakes for my family on my own! Bella too enjoys to be in the kitchen with me but I realized we have only made pancakes a few times, so she needs some more practice if she will be doing it in a year on her own. This morning she made pancakes for us, served them and all!
It was fun morning of breakfast making!!!

Happy Birthday, Tim

We had a full week with just getting back from Disney and then having Tim's birthday!
I met them after work for dinner with his parents and then celebrated with a yummy Colts ice cream cake!
Bella was very excited about giving him his present that she helped me get and wrap and give him the card she made!
We hope this year is a great year full of many birthday wishes coming true!!!
