Bringing Country to the City baby!

( General )

Greetings from New York!  After a LONG trip we are FINALLY here.  You know you love your friends when you can spend 13 hours in a mini van together!!!
The trip up with our crew of course was a good time, but after hour 10 we all started to get a little restless and ready to […]

Christmas!

( General )

This is a face pie!  As a kid my biscuits, pancakes and just about anything else that can have a face made on it.. looked like this.  As you can imagine this was a BIG hit at my slumber parties.  It’s pretty great to have the parents that all the other kids love to hang […]

We wish you a Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas to you and yours!
It’s the most wonderful time of the year.
With the kids jingle belling,
and everyone telling you,
"Be of good cheer,"
It’s the most wonderful time of the year.

On this joyus day, don’t get too wrapped up in your presents and full on your feast… remember Jesus is the reason for the season! 
Come they told me
Pa […]

Carrie & Dave asked if we could play Santa.. or at least Santa’s storage so Wesley wouldn’t see his Santa present until Christmas morning.  Of course we said it was ok and this is what we are storing in our garage.  Please excuse the mess you see in the background it is a messy garage!
Anyway […]

Ah Christmas is a joy no matter how old the BOY!  When we were home for Thanksgiving Ray discovered something fun.. Koen’s toy hammer!  Ray absolutely loved that hammer and I have to admit i did too.  When you move it, it makes fun cartoonish noises.  We had so much fun with it I decided my hubby should have his very […]

Santa’s workshop!

( General )

Vinay was in town last week and while he was here I put the almighty lover of chocolate himself to work on my homemade Christmas care packages!
Instead of Christmas gifts to my friends this year I thought I would put the personal touch on it and make them all santa bags filled with candy! 
I made […]

Oompa Loompa doop a de do….

( General )

Tonight while channel surfing, since none of my shows are new until after the new year, I came across Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory.. the original version with Gene Wilder.  I used to love this movie as a kid.  I mean what’s not to love.  It’s a movie about a magical chocolate factory complete with oompa […]

I think I’ve lost my Christmas MoJo!  I’ve yet to buy the first present.. YIKES!  Typically I LOVE Christmas shopping and have some sort of idea what I will get everyone.  I usually shop for hours and pick out that perfect personal gift, but for some reason I’m just not with it this year.
I tried to […]

Friday night Ray and I decided to go out on a "date" to the movies.  I have wanted to see Four Christmases for weeks however Ray and I don’t have a great track record with going to the movies.
We always manage to sit beside the biggest rednecks in the theatre, restless kids who kick your […]
