Thanksgiving's over so....

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!!!

GroundGiving Day

Huh? I know that's what you are thinking reading the title of this post, but hang on you'll soon understand. You know that movie Groundhog day... well I have been experiencing that with the Thanksgiving holiday. It started on Tuesday with the Preschool Thanksgiving meal. All the parents sign up and bring food in for the kids and the staff. Then the kids come in dressed up as Pilgrim's and Indians (I was an Indian Princess) and we eat! I was put in charge of the meal and the clean up... which might not sound too bad but it was tons of work! My plan was to make Tuesday night my pie night, but I was so exhausted when I got home I went straight to bed! Then came Wednesday...it was our Church Prayer Praise and Pie fellowship and since I didn't make my pies the night before I had to make 6 before Church. Why six? Well the ones for Church (which won second place in the contest), one for a single guy who had to work during Thanksgiving, and 3 for our Thanksgiving (Pumpkin, Pumpkin Cream, and Chocolate mint). Then came the actual Thanksgiving day! We had 5 single guys over, so I made all the food and a lot of it! I'll stop for some picture then continue my Groundhog moment. :-)

All the food, minus the turkey... we fried 2!

More food...

Sam all stuffed and happy

After the meal we watched Home Alone and the guys crashed wherever they could...

The guys LOVED Magnum... they wanted to steal him and he got so spoiled. Every time I turned around he was being petted, held, or feed!

Sam guarding the door so they don't leave with the dog, lol. :-)

Ok, then on Friday we had the Young Married's over from Church... so more turkey, more food, and more football. Seriously I don't know how I'm still up typing this! It has been such a long couple of weeks, and I am ready for a vacation! :-) Now that that is said I'm going to go shopping! For reals! Pray for me. I hope your holiday was more relaxing than mine, but just as fun. I'm thankful for those of you who faithfully check this blog! Love ya!

Patriotic Pup

Ok, I know I haven't written in a while but I have been so busy! (I know, I know) So here are a couple of posts to fill you (the one person who reads this) in. For Halloween our community had a doggie coustume party, and they were giving prizes away. So of couse I have been looking for an excuse to dress up Magnum and I jumpped at the chance. I got this little Uncle Sam's hat off the internet and I made Magnum's shirt... and vola! It's patriotic pup! Isn't he so cute!

His little hat

The shirt

And guess what!!! He won a prize! He got the title most patriotic and won a $50 gift citerficate to Pet's Discount. Sam jokingly said Magnum is finally earing his keep. :-)
