Thanksgiving and After Thanksgiving

We had a great time this Thanksgiving 2007. It was Sydney's first and she was so cute. It's been so fun to have her here for the holidays. She's going to love Christmas. She already loves the lights that we've seen already.
My mom always does Thanksgiving at her house. She does everything. My dad helps out a lot, too. I've taken on the green bean casserole. This year, however, Mark made it.
He did great. Mark is actually the cook in the family anyway. I hate to admit, I cannot cook. So, it was very good. Thanks Markie!
Then we had pie and pudding. Dad had to go back to Marie Callender's because instead of getting 2 pumpkin pies and 1 apple pie they gave him 3 apple pies and 0 pumpkin pies! It was kinda annoying, but now it's really funny.
Then later on that night, we took Elizabeth to her first movie. We all went to see the Bee Movie. It was cute. Very Jerry Seinfeld...if you like that show, you'll understand the humor.
Elizabeth liked the whole atmosphere of being at the theater. She inhaled popcorn and candy and watched a little of the movie and then she fell fast asleep. So, we woke her up after it was over. She was such a good girl and I'm so proud of her.
Sydney had fun staying at home with Mom and Dianne.
It was such a FUN day and night! Hope everyone had a great time, too.

Funny Sydney

This is Sydney's latest trick. Crawling/scooting over to the coffee table and climbing onto the shelf underneath to play with the shoes that are there.
She's so funny how she gets so determined and just goes for it. Then we move her somewhere else and she goes right back to chew on the shoes!
She's such a little stinker!

Aren't these the Cutest Cupcakes?

Ok, so now that birthdays are over with for now, I came across the cutest website!
I've been hearing about how gourmet cupcakes are the "in" thing right now. I know there's a place called Sprinkles in L.A. and there's a few more places in Cali, but I was mad that we didn't have one here in Utah. Or so I thought! We DO have one.
It's called Curious Cupcake. They have the cutest stuff! There was a number to call if you want to order and it says they deliver right to your door! YAY!
There's cupcakes for every occasion. I'm loving the holiday ones.
So, check them out.

Happy Birthday Melissa!

Happy Birthday Elizabeth!

HALLOWEEN 2007

It was a fun Halloween this year!
It was Sydney's 1st Halloween and she loved it. Elizabeth had so much fun the whole month of October. At pre-school they do so many FUN things! Learning new songs and doing arts and crafts to go along with Halloween and Fall. So many activities. By the end of the day we're all beat!
The teachers and other students take all the kids trick-or-treating around the whole school and have a parade. The girls looked so cute in their costumes.
At my school we also have a parade and all sorts of fun parties for Halloween. All the teachers dress up and some of the costumes can get pretty outrageous.
There's 1 teacher named Miss Westenscow...Emily and Jonathan know who she is...and she was a bucket of movie popcorn! It was funny. I wish I got a picture of her.
I was Hermione Granger. It was fun to dress up. I havn't dressed up for Halloween in a very long time. We had a lot of fun at my mom and dad's house. My dad and I took Elizabeth around the neighborhood trick-or-treating while Mark stayed with Sydney back at the house. She loved being in her costume. It suited her very well. Elizabeth as Minnie Mouse was perfect, too!
